Damsel in Dress Distress 

There seem to be so many more options for weddings dresses these days, besides the classic long, white dress.  What are some of the different options I have?

Everyone seems to be designing wedding dresses these days, whether it’s a celebrity or the woman doodling on her napkin next to you in Starbucks.  This is good news for you because the options are never-ending.  You’re bound to find something that will suit your taste, whether it’s more modern or more classic. 

If you want to try something modern and unique, go short.  This is hard for many women to do because it just doesn’t seem right for a wedding because long has always been the go-to.  But short wedding dresses are popping up all over the place, and before you know it, wearing one might not be so original.  If you do decide short is the way to go, try making different aspects of your ensemble more classic.  Try a longer veil or a timeless necklace and bracelet pair.  Also, feel free to play around with your hairstyle…these little things can balance the short dress and compliment it well. 

Lace is eternal, and today, it’s at the height of its popularity.  Many dresses are just trimmed with lace here and there, but why not go for a bold lace statement.  Lace sleeves are being seen everywhere…from the runway to on the racks of Forever 21.  They are stunning, timeless, and unique, plus a light material, so you can’t go wrong!  Your husband-to-be will love it just as much as you…CYE guarantees it!

You also don’t have to go totally modern, or all classic.  Why not try a combination of both?  Some longer dresses are now shapelier up top and then widen out at the knee, for an almost mermaid-like look.  It’s timeless, yet modern.
