The Charm of Short Wedding Dresses


A while back, we heard from reader Sabrina Castro who sent us an email with her wedding picture attached. She was wearing a short wedding dress in the photo and said she wanted to encourage any other bride who might be considering the same idea. She was definitely on to something because now short wedding dresses are more popular than ever and designers are making them in all price ranges.
