a Short Story

Wednesday, March 30, 2011

Most of you know that I'm a sucker for short dresses; while they're not very well suited to an evening wedding at the Four Seasons hotel, they're absolutely divine if you're throwing a daytime wedding or a more casual backyard celebration. BRIDES Magazine featured an adorable "Short Story" for their most recent issue, and this lace Tara Keely number absolutely stole the show!

    Loved it! I wish I had the guts to wear a short dress, but alas, I did not. So now I get to admire them from afar!

    Okay, I LOVE this, but as someone who wore a short dress to prom and will never rock a maxi dress, I wonder if I will ever wear a long dress in my entire life!

    One of our most favorite bride's looks {ever} was a short dress. It was so timeless and flirtly.

    It's so adorable! I would sport a short wedding dress if I could get married again! I wore a long one in the super hot California valley sun and sweat was dripping during the ceremony! It was worth it though :)

    I love short dresses as well. I wish I could pull one off, but being rather short and having short legs, I can't :( Otherwise I would totally do it.

    I love the dress in this pic!

    I am a HUGE fan of short dresses. Have you seen Max Wanger's wedding? His wife Margaux's dress is pure perfection. It's my favorite and the dress I'd sport if I could redo my wedding.
