Wedding Dresses - Short and Sweet Hemlines (It's Fashion Week!)

Posted Thursday, April 02, 2009 5:32 PM

In honor of bridal fashion week, I thought I'd post one of my favorite short dresses from Melissa Sweet's collection -- shorter hemlines are perfect for outdoor weddings and they give off that I'm-not-taking-my-wedding-too-seriously vibe...  

So here's what's happening this weekend: bridal fashion designers from across the country will show off their latest wedding dress collections in NYC. Some bridal designers will host formal runway shows, others will showcase their latest designs in elegant hotel suites, and still others will use storefronts (like the Carolina Herrera show at Tiffany's on Sunday night).   

PS - Did you know that we're giving away 3 FREE dresses this week? Here's a rundown....

1. Win a Vera Wang wedding dress - Take a the What's Your Dress IQ Test and enter to win (hurry - this one ends Friday, April 3!)

2. Win a Carolina Herrera wedding dress - Watch the live runway show on Sunday night at 7 p.m. ET and count the number of short dresses (above the knee) shown in the collection. Then email that number and your personal info to contests@theknot.com

3. Win an Oscar de la Renta wedding dress - This is another watch-to-win deal. The show is on Monday afternoon at 11 a.m. ET and you can enter to win in the same way - count the short dresses (above the knee) and email it to contests@theknot.com
