Short Wedding Gowns Add A Playful Twist To Your Summer Ceremony!

Amber Fijolek on Aug 19, 2009 2:25 PM PDT

Being glam for your wedding doesn't mean you need a ball gown. Since it's summer, why not embrace the warm weather with a short, sundress-looking gown? Having a short gown is definitely a more modern choice, as well as trendy, and may even be an easier pick to match with your flower girl. The long lines of your legs will elongate you where your dress falls short, making sure you are still the star of the show. Instead of keeping the heat in underneath a textile tent, you'll stay comfortable and cool in less fabric. The sundress look brings back a bit of youth to your style, complimenting your fun and carefree personality, and perhaps also gives your inner child a chance to relive her marital dreams. Love on those legs a little with a high-hemmed gown and you'll certainly enjoy an adorably wholesome and debonair summer wedding. Check out this slideshow for some suggestions!

Bride's Got Back!

Amber Fijolek on Jun 10, 2009 10:23 AM PDT

All dressed in that angelic and traditional white, the bride has class, beauty, grace, and... that sexy back! With a crowd of loved ones behind you giving you your time of glory on your wedding day, you might as well appease their visual senses with a nice healthy peek of those shoulders and back. While your conventional gown will keep most of you well hidden, it's a great idea to open up and show them just what made your groom-to-be (and Justin Timberlake) so smitten with you. The subtle sexiness of a gown that plays up your backside might be just what you're looking for if you're not straight-laced enough for a more conservative choice-- not to mention, it may be just what you need in the sweat of putting on a warm-weather wedding. Check out my slideshow to see what I mean!
