Classic Wedding Dresses—But Not Really

In the ever-evolving world of modern wedding dresses, two trends stand out: the full midi skirt and mini ruffles. We all know texture is the easiest way to grab attention, but when applied to bridal…the results are jaw-dropping. While most brides lean towards solid fabrics and satin, these offer a refreshing twist on the occasion. The Danielle Frankel Wendell tiered mini dress is by far one of my favorites. Is it conventional? Absolutely not, but again, who’s making the rules? With its transparent layering and flirty tiered silhouette, you’ll want to live in this dress well after walking down the aisle. Just be sure to style it with statements like the Bottega Veneta Knot sandals and this Cult Gaia clutch for an even more modern look.

On the flip side, the Altuzzara Connie poplin midi dress isn’t to be missed. Whether in a church or the courthouse, this simply stunning dress offers the perfect base for a bride. Not to mention, it’s incredible easy to style, relieving you of more time. If I were getting married, I’d pair it with the Schutz Bari sandals and Oscar de la Renta mini tote. While not every bride carried a bag, it only makes sense to style these stunners with accessories that speak to the occasion. So, if you’re going for modern short wedding dresses, you might as well treat yourself to luxurious accessories.
