Wonderful photos! I love the dress. It is so adorable. It’s simply yet elegant.
This dress is adorable but you have to be really slim to wear it. It is a bit baggy and a little bit bigger girls might look even bigger in it. Still it’s gorgeous!
It’s beautiful – but she would probably look great in anything! x
Love it! So casual and chic. :)
than you will die over this dress http://rummeybears.blogspot.com/2009/12/blog-post_6796.html
it is really sweet!
i love when people think outside the box and do something original-like wearing a gorgeous short wedding dress such as hers.
she’ is stunning
this wedding is perfection!! the bride is so incredibly beautiful! saving this for inspiration when i get married.
Amazing photos…very very nice
Adorable. I’m going to try and sew one similar based on a top I have with same sleeves.
simple and sweet :)
Everyone is oohing and ahhhing… because it really is an awesome dress! I can imagine my hippie sister wearing this for her wedding.
this is really pretty! I love the short dress… This bride pulls it off beautifully.

So beautiful! Sometimes I wish I could marry my husband again just to be able to wear another wedding dress, maybe like this!
That dress is absolutely lovely. I have been unsure of short wedding dresses, having mixed feelings…But that dress…. I adore the sleeves!
Great Photos. I love the lace sleeves of the dress. I think the shorter dress for an outdoor summer wedding to be a great idea. And think of all the fun accessorizing and picking the perfect shoes.
this is beautiful. and Jo, you are so huge now! things have been crazy at our stores – haven’t been able to visit blogs like we used to. we hope (want to) make a comeback! sending you all our love, good luck with your number one.
It is so wonderful to see things getting simpler. I love this.
So pretty. This would be perfect. I’m not a big fan of long gowns and trains. It looks so comfortable and perfect for dancing.
Sometimes the simpler the better, huh… Such a pretty dress, such a pretty bride.
I love this dress. Looks super cute. I’d wear a short dress if I had the legs. We have some short ones on http://YesBride.com
I wore a short wedding dress, that was just a regular white dress too. It was my three year wedding anniversary the other day so I put photos on my blog here: http://shinelittlelight.blogspot.com/2010/05/wedding-ceremony.html
She looks absolutely stunning, and these pictures are beautiful!
i remember seeing this on olivia leigh’s site the other day and thinking how DREAMY that dress is! it’s so simple but it’s looks so perfect on her!
I can’t stand it – some ladies know exactly what they look beautiful in it… Pretty photos and lovely couple!
xoxo
Love the style of the dress! I kind of want it for myself (not as a bride). Could style it would brown leather accesories maybe… have to see if it comes in other colors.
I love the idea of a short wedding dress. And even while it compromises on length, this one doesn’t compromise on appropriateness at all. I can’t imagine this dress not being worn at a wedding. It’s gorgeous!
I think it’s beautiful. She looks very relaxed, comfortable, and pretty. I love her hair, too. Making me contemplate some kind of fringe. (Bangs — I’m Australian!)
Amazing photos they really captured the mood of this wedding.
That is such a pretty ans simple dress. Less is more right?! My friends just got married recently and they had such a charming ceremony. I really think you would like the pictures. But the amazing thing is that she organized this beautiful wedding in only 7 weeks!!

what a lovely idea! she looks very bridal, even without the floor length dress.
What adorable relaxed love they show in these pictures!
wow not often do you see a short wedding dress! What a unique style, I like it!
love the short dress, there is something playful and summery about it, and this one has a 20s kind of flare that i adore;)
The sleeves are the best part..so delicate..so lovely!
these are beautiful! i’m going to wear a short dress when i get married.
This is lovely!
Keep posting wedding stuff- even though you have a baby on the way, I am planning my wedding for October 2011- long ways away, but I love your ideas & style.
Love love the dress! Super vintage but simple. So cute!
Amazing dress!
thank you SO much, The French!!!
Love that! So cute.
btw – as you may know, Erin is due around the same time as you…just did a post about a killer lasagna that we made and then froze for her ‘post-birth-can’t-find-the-time-to-cook-anything-but-i’m-hankering-for-something-homemade’ phase. Not sure what you and Alex are prepping in regards to that, but just an idea. Makes a ton:)
Ahhh…I love this idea for a wedding dress. Cheers to finding alternative types of dresses/venues for weddings.
I saw this post earlier, and fell in love with that sweet little dress! I’d like to make a lace cover-up similar to the top of this dress to go over my own. It’s so sweet and barely there.
she looks gorgeous! I love the sleeves. even though it is just a regular white dress, I think the pretty lace sleeves give it a bridal look. I’m not sure if I’d wear a short wedding dress, but every time you post one as gorgeous as this, I start to change my mind :)
I LOVE the idea of longer sleeves on the wedding dress, kind of a fresh look after the oh-so-popular strapless gowns.
Beautiful dress – such a relaxed feeling about the couple and the wedding. Love it. And love the belly shots BTW!! So funny and beautiful. Little baby boy will love to look at them when he gets older. There is nothing more wonderful than to look at pictures from when your parents were expecting you and see that they were drunk with joy!
katie, i didn’t see it on their site (although they have similar styles). you could alwayscall BCBG? xo
I love the flower in her hair. The bride looks beautiful.
Really cool. It looks so vintage for BCBG.
I love it!! So different and classy!
Is the dress still available? I want it!
Sooooo pretty, I love the view from the back with her arms raised.
I love that. I’ve always thought BCBG dresses could double as wedding dresses.
Wow really gorgeous and feminine. She looks amazing.

I just finished reading your weekend links and that article about you and your bike riding!!! So cute!!!

Beautiful dress! Great idea
clever idea. I think the short dress really works for petties.
It is gorgeous. I love the lace. I would definitely consider a shorter dress for myself.
Love the short wedding dress. In fact, I love any bride that breaks the mold. Kudos to her. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful! And just so you know, Martha Stewart is doing a special today on J Crew wedding dresses. I know how much you love J Crew and weddings!
what a BEAUTIFUL dress and bride! the sleeves are extraordinary! even though the dress is not fitted it is still so flattering!
SO beautiful! I was married in a short off white silk dress…barefoot on the beach. (I eloped 6 months into planning) I found it at Banana Republic!
i JUST saw this on Green Wedding shoes and fell in love!
I probably should get some work done today, but WHO CAN with all this blogging goodness? :)
She looks adorable!
I feel that short dresses give a relaxed vibe to the whole celebration :)
She looks so stunning in it and it really suits her!
Kisses
Gorgeous, gorgeous photographs. What a great photographer!
olivia, the photos were beautiful!
Thank you for posting these! They were a great couple and I loved her look. So appropriate for the relaxed, sweet feel of their wedding.
