Short Hemline

On the contrary, brides who want to show off skin can go with the very trendy short dress look that was everywhere on the runways.

Shoe Displaying Dresses

Shorter hemlines don't always mean showing off lots of skin. Sometimes, you just want your shoes on display as well. With dresses that skim right around the ankle, you can do just that. Daring brides can choose an unexpected hue for a brilliant splash of color.
