The Short Wedding Dress Club

Motto– Go Short!

Promise

On my honor, I will try:

To wear a short dress at my wedding.

To help others see that this is a great option.

To obey the Short Wedding Dress Club Laws.

  1. I am soooo having a short wedding dress. I’ve always said that and as I approach 30 and I’m single, marriage is happening anytime soon for me obviously – but if by some off chance I meet the man of my dreams in say, my 50’s – I will still wear a short dress – love it. This is the best post ever. thanks xx

  2. One of the most beautiful posts I have ever seen. Though I personally am keeping my hopes set on a long dress, but these are incredibly beautiful!

  3. Oh I love this post!!! Dress #6 is my favorite! Short wedding dresses are so classy and beautiful. I wish I had worn a short dress for my wedding.

  4. Oh my word. The Oscar de la Renta is so fantastic.

    Whenever I happen to get engaged, I will totally join this club.

  5. Though friends and family may scoff, I’ve always known I will wear a short wedding dress. A-line, shift, babydoll, I love them all. I’ve never felt comfortable in long dresses anyway and why feel uncomfortable on one of the most important days of my life? For me, it just doesn’t make any sense not to go short!

  6. I’m getting married in May and I have two short dresses! One modeled after Audrey Hepburn in “Funny Face” for the ceremony. And one very, very short Betsey Johnson “wedding-esque” dress for the reception

  7. i think i might want a short wedding dress! :) The Oscar De LaRenta one is to die for!!!
    (But I bet the price is too!)

  8. Where can I find out who makes dress number 2?? This posting is amazing! I love them all!

  9. I actually got married in a knee length red fifties style dress, never regretted it, i looked fabulous and if i was to do it again, I would do it exactly the same way :)

  10. I’m loving this post! Very cute & made me happy since I’m on the hunt for a short wedding dress of my own. I instantly fell for the first one..Gavin Douglas? I tried looking for it to get another view..but had no luck. Would you happen to know where I can find it?

  11. The only wedding dresses I ever like are the short ones!!! This is a great list. I’ve already bought one I love, but now I want almost ALL of these!!

  12. I LOVE LOVE LOVE short wedding dresses and like another poster said , if I ever get married I will definitely be wearing a short one lol.
    I particularly like the short ones on the Priscillia of Boston website or there is a stunner on the Amsale website too. Also check out candy anthony of London for a 50s style dress

  13. I just love the wedding dress in the very first picture, can anyone tell me who designed it? or where i can somehow find it or one like it? ? ?

  14. There are also the 50’s style dresses like the ones Dolly Couture makes.

    Petticoats are a must if you are going to have a short dress.
