Your summer wedding is in the books! Next up: finding the dress.  

We bet you always dreamed of the day you’d walk down the aisle with a romantic veil and mile-long train sweeping behind you.

But this summer, your inner bridal style is screaming for something lighter (and worth showing your legs for!). That’s right: a short wedding dress may be “the one” for you! Not to mention it’s one of the non-traditional wedding trends we love, too.

There’s a reason why summer weddings are so popular. Who wouldn’t want to start off a new life together surrounded by sunshine and Mother Nature? If you want a magical backdrop but don’t want to break the bank, consider having an outdoor ceremony!

Imagine tropical beach days ending with romantic sunsets, picnics with juicy orange, watermelon and lemon slice, or wildflower meadows filled with birds and butterflies. Really, the outdoor scenes (and vibrant shades) that come to mind are truly endless!

Congratulations - you’re marrying your soulmate!  But don’t forget - your wedding day is still about sharing the spotlight with your SOUL sisters (or brothers), too!
