Spring 2011′s Short Wedding Dresses

Two years ago, short wedding dresses were an uncommon sight in the runways and rarely ever worn at weddings itself. If a bride does get a short wedding dress, she usually wears it to the reception or rehearsal dinner. On the spring 2011 runway, however, short wedding dresses were everywhere because more and more women choose to wear them for the ceremony itself – especially if they’re held at venues like restaurants, backyards, or lofts. Here are some of the prettiest short wedding dresses of the season.

This lacy dress by Anna Maier features an asymmetrical strap and a volumized skirt, which goes well with the heavy lace fabric.

I like this dress from Priscilla of Boston. It has a nice retro feel to it, plus that taupe belt is simply gorgeous.

This simple dress by Adele Wechsler places emphasis on the bust, without looking trashy.

I love the ruffles on this dress by Melissa Sweet!

What an utterly romantic dress from Alfred Angelo.
