Some brides know exactly what kind
of a wedding gown they want. They know what colour and how long will their gown will be.. I
honestly wasn't the one of those. Since i first started to even think
about possible wedding I've been jumping from style to style wanting too
many things and all at same time - pretty please ! :) I started with the thoughts of
having a short 50's style dress with HUGE and fluffy swing skirt, no
tiara, no veil , no gloves and only some flowers in my hair :) I really
was excited about wearing a short knee length wedding dress and super cute
heels. But i wouldn't be me if with time going pass some doubts wouldn't
come to my mind...
This were my thoughts... We
are brides only once ( hopefully ) and there is only one time we can
actually wear a long wedding dress with a trail and all the accessories
coming with it ( yeah princess staff ). So that was it, and even tho i
keep on bumping to the idea of short knee length cute dress, i made my
final decision on having long gown with trail and all. But not a super long
trail for me, you know the ones that make bride make a buss type of a
turns? Hehe, i want to keep myself in a good mood on my wedding day and not keep on shouting on my guests because of they are walking on my poor dress :) Anyhow, i have my wedding gown already in
my closet ( will show you my dress after the actual wedding happened ) but the thoughts of short gowns still keep on coming into my
head.
So what
should we think about when deciding to have a short or long wedding
dress? I will try to put pluses and minuses for both styles:
SHORT WEDDING DRESS:
+ Fantastic for 50’s Rock & Roll type of weddings
+ Easy to move and dance in
+ Won’t get easily dirty and no one will walk on the trail
+ Can show off your fantastic shoes and beautiful legs
+ Can wear HUGE skirt without looking silly
+ Great for casual type of wedding
- Demands good looking legs especially if the dress is showing knees
- Less gowns to choose from, usually bridal stores have only few short dresses for sale
- You might need to find a good seamstress
- Dresses are surprisingly expensive
- Achieving bridal look can be more difficult? Don't think any bride wants to look less dressy than her guests
- Depending on the length can make legs look shorter
LONG WEDDING DRESS:
+ There is endless amount of different styles to choose from
+ You will definitely look like a bride
+ Less unforgiving to your legs
- Harder to move in, especially with long trail
- Skirt get dirty easily
- Not very comfortable to dance in
So, which dress type you are going to choose for yourself ?
