The Short Gown Love Affair

The Short Gown Love Affair


Sure, when we think of wedding gowns, all that really comes to mind are the floor length gowns we all know and love; but a good amount of us has a weakness for a good short wedding dress moment.

There’s just something about the timeless tea length gown you see in the black and white photos of your grandmothers wedding pictures, or the vintage bride today that looks stunning in the ultimate short dress and birdcage veils.

Short gowns are perfect for the brides with a vintage taste, or even for the bride hitting the city hall to get hitched! Short gowns would be amazing for an elopement on the beach or in the forest – even in the mountains! They could be worn for a dinner rehearsal, engagement parties or engagement photos!

As for the brides that just can’t part with the traditional long gown, shorter gowns are the best for an evening dance moment or for making a run to the getaway car at the end of the night! (What a surprise that would be! & the pictures... to die for!)

This Valentine’s day, our sister store, Blue Bridal - Cincinnati's favorite bridal outlet, is selling ALL of their short gowns for ONLY $99!!! That is hundreds of dollars brides will be saving on these gowns, and we are SO excited for you guys to see them! The sale will be going on today through February 20th, 2022.

We have gathered a handful of Blue's most favorite short gowns in the store, so if you are thinking about raising the hemline on your wedding day, here is your inspo!

1. TRENDING: CORSET BODICE

This gorgeous corset bodice with tulle wrapped over subtle lace is an absolute DREAM. We love her. Like, a lot. End of story.

2. TIMELESS: STRAPLESS TULLE

This sweetheart strapless tulle gown is insanely stunning! The tulle fabric that wraps around the bodice give sit the perfect touch of chic while being perfectly timeless.

This gown is such a gorgeous and timeless piece. The lace details on this gown give it such a subtle edge to a vintage look.
