Short Wedding Dresses

I'm a sucker for a short or knee length wedding dress ... I look dreadful in maxi dresses so its probably not surprising.
I always find there are many brides who opt for a longer dress just because its traditional and not necessarily because it suits them. Of course if you want to stick with tradition that's absolutely your choice but considering a shorter dress ... especially if you are a little shorter yourself and worried that a longer dress might swamp you ... is definitely an option.
You may also want, if its in your budget, to consider wearing a more formal long dress during your ceremony but change into something a bit shorter and more 'danceable' for your evening reception!

Either way two of my favourite sites www.bhldn.com and www.kittyanddulcie.com have some lovely options for shorter wedding dresses.

Wraps, Shrugs, Boleros ... Cover Up Ideas For Your Wedding!

Well the winter wedding season is pretty much upon us now its November and I've started looking at pretty ideas to cover up those shoulders and arms and still look gorgeous in your wedding dress!
To be honest some of these ideas are also great for summer and spring weddings if you're not that fond of your upper arms like me.
Whatever you're style of dress there is bound to be a 'cover up' out there to suit.
Here are some of my favourites ...
