The Short White Wedding Dress

The short white wedding dress was a design started by Coco Chanel during Edwardian times with a knee-length dress and an extravagant train. And while white may traditionally be seen as a display of femininity and purity, the modern bride today has the flexibility of choosing pretty much any style, length or color of wedding dress to express her own individuality as well as coordinate her dress with her bridesmaids and the entire theme of the wedding.

Brides today also have the option of staying with the traditional color of white for their wedding dress then adding some color accents to the dress with a sash or embroidery or they may choose to accent a shorter white dress like a tea length or mid-calf wedding dress with some colors.

With destination weddings being more popular today, the short white wedding dress has also become more popular as a destination wedding dress because of its fun, sexy and easy to transport style, along with it being able to be used again after the wedding for other occasions.

Short white dresses are also perfect for summer weddings in gardens, beaches, parks or any wedding theme or style. It gives an added ease to dance in after the wedding, without getting all sweaty, especially if the style does not have a long train attached or the train is detachable.

Informal short wedding dresses like cocktail dresses, some bridesmaid dresses, and couture suits are becoming increasingly popular, and those being crafted with materials that can be dyed in some other hue after the wedding are also gaining ground.

If you are choosing to have your dress with colors in it, you'll want to make sure you can coordinate the bridesmaid dresses to an accented color, or you may choose the bridesmaids dresses and styles first and coordinate your dress to accent theirs.

But a short white wedding dress can be more easily coordinate with the bridesmaids dresses by simply accessorizing the wedding dress with accented colors to the bridesmaids.

If you are wearing a short white dress, a cute blush veil or shoulder length veil may be a good choice rather than a long one. Beautiful bridal shoes can also be shown off in shorter wedding dresses.
