Short wedding dresses are hot for 2009. The modern, short wedding dress is styled with a chic fitted bodice over a full skirt that stops just at, or above the knee.
2009 wedding dresses feature an array of sleeve styles from fitted, full length sleeves to strapless designs, off shoulder styles, as well as daring one-shoulder looks.
This year’s dresses abound with sweetheart, straight, bateau, and high necklines, often worn without the elaborate jewelry of previous seasons.
Headpieces are a strong component of the overall bridal look again this season. Veils, hats and hair accessories are graced with feathers, silk leaves and petals. Feathers are one of the hottest trends to emerge this season as an accent on dress hems, tops and headpieces.
Full and three-quarter length over-jackets and intricate baroque designs round out the trends for 2009 bridal fashions.
