Gone are the days of not being able to pee on your wedding day.
The days where your heavily embellished gown weighs you down and you walk ever-so-slowly down the aisle so you don’t get caught in many, many layers of tulle.
Meringue dresses are on their way out.
Brides are ditching the traditional full-length wedding dress for a shorter, lighter frock.
Maybe it’s a reaction to lavish weddings with two gowns and walls of flowers (Kimye, we’re looking at you), but it seems some brides are opting for a more intimate ceremony, which naturally comes with the cuter, and more comfortable, short dress.
Don’t believe us. Look at these: (Post continues after gallery):
Some want the best of both worlds: still having the big wedding with accompanying meringue dress, but changing into a shorter piece for the reception.
Some opt for a transformer dress, where the long tail can be detached to reveal a shorter dress underneath.
Either way, without the massive dress in the way, it makes for a smoother time on the dance floor.

I am having a longer dress for my wedding but the tulle and satin underneath are so pretty and nice that its very light to wear. I love the dress and when trying it on didnt have to hold the sides like most brides do. I think tea length is pretty but not suited to all. I think most girls want to go away from the meringue strapless dresses and find comfortable dresses so that they are not holding onto the sides of the dress to walk and dance.
Wedding dresses of any length are great as long as the lady wearing it feels beautiful and joy wearing it. I've got a long dress but and that's because I don't like showing my legs. If I had great legs I would have definitely considered going shorter as our wedding is going to be a relaxed affair - just like us.
