Floor-length gowns, long trains, and cathedral veils. The dream of every girl’s childhood, the desire to get married, and the hope of being a princess. Yet, it is 2022, and we’re seeing little and less of that. Are we seeing a trend that is no longer relevant? Or is the appearance of the “princess” just modernized?
We are all raised with the notion of a perfect wedding, and it makes every girl feel full of desire to look and feel like an enchanting princess on their special day. It’s something like this: a stunning ball gown with a lengthy train and a few beads to give the additional “something”; a long veil that cascades down an aisle to frame the bride’s eyes perfectly with her hair and makeup and, of course, a large ceremony that includes a more lavish after party to accommodate the more significant number of guests. Watch Kate Middleton’s wedding ceremony to Prince William, Kim Kardashian’s marriage to Kris Humphries, and Nicky Hilton’s wedding to James Rothchild.
However, the latest wedding trend is small, intimate weddings. Perhaps it’s because of the pandemic or because things are so accessible that couples are forced to treasure these moments to themselves before they become the norm for everyone else. An intimate wedding with your closest friends is an unforgettable opportunity to begin this new journey with your partner.
Alongside trending “intimate wedding,” trend goes short dresses. They are the latest “it” bridal look that ranges from Charlotte Casiraghi, daughter of the Princess Caroline of Monaco, and Kourtney Kardashian, the pop popular culture iconic. Full-length ball gowns aren’t for everyone and for all weddings. The year was 2019, and Charlotte Casiraghi wowed the crowds at the royal wedding with her wedding gown she chose to wear, A mini dress in place of the long-dressed royal bridal style that anyone would think of. Lilly Allen’s wedding in 2020 Las Vegas wedding to David Harbour could be more faithful to her style without the Elvis imitation and the ivory dress she wore. Kourtney Kardashian’s extended wedding week with Travis Barker featured not one nor two but four miniature wedding gowns. The first was worn for the intimate ceremony held in Calabasas, and the remaining three dresses – two of them black – were kept for the celebrations at Portofino, Italy.
The big question is, what are mini dresses? Are they the new trend? While they are only suitable for some, mini dresses appear to be making an increasingly frequent appearance and are not getting rid of them. Until recently, short dresses were the most appropriate choice for a second wedding and were reserved for the party after to allow brides to enjoy their marriage with a more relaxed dress and still look stunning. But, as intimate weddings with small venues are the latest trend and the trend is growing, why not make short dresses the bride’s look right from the beginning?
The most recent Justin Alexander collections have the perfect mini dresses with different styles for the various brides. Justin Alexander has five different designs for their dresses, each sporting distinctive aesthetics that differ from the others: the flagship brand Justin Alexander, along with Justin Alexander Signature, Adore by Justin Alexander, Lillian West, and Sincerity Bridal.
