Stylish Ways to Customise Your Short Wedding Dress

Colour

Colour is an easy way to show your wedding party a little bit more of your personality. There are so many ways to add colour to your vintage style wedding dress. Lots of our dresses now come in different colour ways from pinks and blues all the way through to champagne. So you can have a hint of colour or really make a statement with a very colourful wedding dress.

Petticoats

As above, why not add colour to your petticoats to add a real pop of colour in your wedding photographs. A petticoat accentuates the full skirt that a tea length dress can offer. Its a fun and flirty way to add glamour to your wedding dress.

Length

As brides, we are all different shapes and sizes and there is a length of short wedding dress to suit all. Don’t fancy getting your knees out then go for a calf length tea length dress. Or want a ballerina length wedding gown to really wow your guests. Having your bridesmaids in shorter dresses than you also creates an instant impact.

Sleeves

We’ve mentioned them before but there are so many ways to wear sleeves. From cap sleeves to a full sleeve, there are so many ways to customise your short wedding dress. Or even no sleeves, the choice is yours. Don’t forget the back of your dress too, by having your hair up it shows off the full detail of the pretty lace or satin in your dress.

Sashes, Belts, Broaches

Add a colourful sash to your dress for a dramatic look, match it to your petticoats or flowers. Some dresses have belts that you can customise in different colours. Or if you don’t like sashes or belts then change it for a broach to make your dress really personal to you.

Jacket

Some of our brides choose to have a jacket, bolero or pashmina specially made for their wedding day. This is a quick and easy way to change your look but keeping your style through out the day. It also makes sure that what ever the weather you are prepared for those outside shots.

Don’t forget that you can also change your look with hairstyles on your wedding day. Go for full on 1950’s vintage glamour to match your dress or wear a pillbox hat rather than a veil. Lots of our brides choose a stunning hair clip or fascinator to add a unique look to their short wedding dress.

Lastly, with an amazing short dress, your shoes are another way to really customise your wedding dress.
