Posted on by Glendalough Manor

The short wedding dress trend will continue in 2014!  So many brides are choosing to wear short dresses over long ones for many reasons.  Designers are creating short dresses in all different styles to fit so many wedding themes.  Here are a few of our favorites for 2014.

Lace dresses are still on trend for 2014 and these short lace dresses are sweet yet modern in silhouette. I love the lace long sleeves with the short hemline showing just the right amount of skin.

Convertible Wedding Dresses

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

Choosing the perfect wedding dress is not always an easy task and brides who can’t decide which dress to choose are opting to buy two dresses. The first dress for the ceremony and the second dress for the reception.  The first is typically more classic in silhouette and more conservative in style and the second “party” dress is for dancing the night away.

Buying two dresses can get expensive so why not buy one dress and get two looks? You may have seen the convertible bridesmaid dresses but what about a convertible wedding dress?

Many convertible wedding dresses have a removable skirts.  That way you can have a more traditional length and silhouette for the ceremony and instead of bustling the dress you remove the bottom part of the dress to make it short!

Other convertible dresses have overskirts that can be removed at the waist to reveal a shorter dress!

Or the over skirt is attached at the waist and when removed reveals a tighter more slim version of the original dress.

As much as I like this idea I would warn you to be careful that the dress doesn’t look like it is convertible. No one should realize that you can remove the skirt or change the look of the dress until you show up to the reception and show everyone your new look!

What do you think about convertible wedding dresses? Would you wear one?

Happy Dress Hunting!

Second Wedding Dresses; Perfect Party Dresses for the Bride

Posted on by Glendalough Manor

After the ceremony so many brides are changing from their traditional wedding dresses in to short, fun and flirty party dresses.  I love this new trend for so many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is that you can party the night away dancing!  By choosing a second wedding dress you don’t have to stress over choosing a traditional dress for the ceremony that might constrict you from busting those moves later in the evening. You can also be free to greet your guests without the worry that someone will step on that beautiful train you wanted.

My favorite reason to have a dress change is to show off those awesome shoes! If you decide not to change, no one will ever really get to see them!

One of the things that guests talk about most after a wedding is how the bride looked.  Changing in to a second dress is sure to surprise your guests and keep them talking all night long.  There are no set rules to choosing a second wedding dress.  Just choose something that is fun and makes you feel beautiful!

Vintage dresses are always in style and I love these 50’s inspired dresses!

If you really want to make a statement wear a colored dress…you will definitely have all eyes on you in this vintage red dress!

Have fun with the veils and hair accessories! This is a party so make sure your dress and accessories fit the style and type of reception you want to have.

No matter the style or length of your party dress as long as you love it your guests will too!
