I’ve always been into the fairy tale wedding dresses and I’ve had dreams of walking down the aisle in my princess-like gown with my dad in arms.

Now, I’m in two minds as the short wedding dresses trend seems to be winning me over.

This unconventional look carries with it a vintage vibe that I totally relate to and I know there many like me out there.

These short gowns can easily transition into your reception dress when the setting changes.

Hem length and shorter gowns were usually reserved for civil marriage ceremonies but now brides are showing off their edgier style in bespoke shorter ensembles.

Now, it’s okay to still want to stick to your floor-length gowns but this is me trying to sway you to the other side with these beautiful short wedding dresses:

I hope at least one of these looks has won you over and you are going back to the drawing book to reconsider your gown choice.
