The Litt le White Dress BY MAEGAN PERRIN, FOUNDER/CO-OWNER NORAH’S BRIDAL

It’s 2022 and brides will be making a statement in short wedding dresses. e “Little White Dress” is giving oor- length gowns a run for their money this year by oering versatile options for the ceremony, second look and beyond. e short wedding dress was extremely popular in the 1960s and has remained a frequent choice for civil ceremonies and today’s smaller weddings. is trend is here to stay for seasons to come, but with a larger presence beginning in 2022. Over the past two years, COVID-19 has changed the way brides approach their Big Day. e uncertainty created by cancellations, postponements and downsizing of celebrations has led brides-to-be to choose fun over tradition when planning their wedding. Fortunately for brides, there is an LWD for everyone! For brides who have their heart set on a oor-length gown, a short white dress is also a great option to wear for other wedding-related events such as the reception, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, or even a second look. Another great perk of a short wedding dress is the opportunity to rewear it and show o those killer legs long after your wedding day. From modern silhouettes to allover lace minis to sequin and beaded styles, there is a short wedding dress for every bride’s personality and venue choice. Paired with a statement veil, the look can rival any ballgown. Whether you are eloping, having a micro-wedding or a casual-chic civil ceremony, designers across the world are debuting their best LWD styles, and they are to die for! ®
