Is a short dress okay for a DW?

AshDreamer · June 2012

So the FI and I want our DW to be pretty relaxed. We don't even want to wear shoes. He's just planning on buying a nice blouse and tan kakis.

I was wondering if it would be acceptable if I just wore a little nice sundress? Just something white and a little short... nothing too much.

Thoughts?

And what is your dress going to look like for your DW?

IMO I think you can absolutely wear a short dress! That's the beauty of a DW, you can do what you want, and have it as casual or as formal as you like

My dress will be long, more on the vintage style (mermaid silouette), but we are doing bare beet, and the bridal party will be wearing more casual attire.

It's your day, whatever you have envisioned will work!

My wedding will also be casual and I.have a short wedding dress and I absolutely love it! It's your day you can wear whatever you want. I think short is more casual.

You can where what ever you like. Mine was a T legnth dress. I loved it! It was perfect for the beach!

You can certainly do whatever you want! I was barefoot and my dress was hemmed to that length. DH wore tan pants and a teal button down. It was very relaxed!

I agree with everyone else. Wear whatever you want. My dress is long but doesn't have a full skirt, and we also plan to go barefoot.

I think a short dress is good or tea length. You know some bridal stores have the teal length and they're only a few hundred bucks( david's bridal). I don't have my dress yet however. I am torn between a long gown something light and chiffon or a tea length. My fi and I are gettting married at Sandals in Jamaica on one of the ocean piers. If anyone has suggestions please help!

i was going for a traditional bridal gown but i saw and fell in love with this...especially after trying it on! i think its still traditional in a sense but also perfect for the beach :-) i also plan on going barefoot except i've heard about barefoot sandals and i may want to wear a pair!

libra- i am also getting married at Sandals in Jamaica! (Negril)

I say wear whatever you want. I was originally going to wear a tea length dress, but ended up getting a long wedding dress since it's my one chance to wear one.

That would definitely work!

I am doing a full length for the ceremony but that's because my sister is altering my mother's dress for me to wear. For the reception my dress is short and I love it!

Absolutely. My dress is long with a chapel length train- I'm going barefoot, too. I think that's what's great about a DW- you can make it whatever you want and either way, it's still fine. Do what you love.

I think that your day should be about what you want! If it is barefeet and a short dress; then it's perfect for you and you will look back with fond memories and no regrets!!!

I think a short dress would look totally fine! The only thought I had when I read it was just to make sure your location isn't crazy windy if it's a dress that would fly up easily.

We saw a beach wedding at a resort next to ours, and there were a lot of dresses getting blown around and up, including the entire bridal party. Whoops.

10000% acceptable! It's your day, do your thing!
