Floor-length wedding gowns still rank high in popularity this year. But, many brides are opting for shorter, tea-length dresses. Initially, this dress style seems very informal. But, all you have to do is play with the fabric to achieve the look that you are going for. Choose an airy cotton/tulle material for an outdoor wedding or a satin/silk material for a more elegant wedding. Add more layers or even an overcoat for those winter weddings. Whatever the fabric choice, the emergence of the tea-length dress creates a unique option for those brides who want to add a little distinctiveness to their wedding day!
