A short dress can also be great for the bride who prefers more cutting edge design. One of the funkier bridal gowns would be very sassy for a wedding in an urban loft or gallery setting. The dress will be a stand out detail that really allows you to express your own personal style. If you want to make it look more bridal than cocktail, the right accessories will be key. Balance out a minidress with a pair of opera length white kid gloves. If you want something in your hair, a small piece of net would be better than a traditional long veil.
