Bridal Mini Styling Guide
Choosing a veil for a mini wedding dress
This depends on the overall look you want to create. It is very popular to have a long veil with a bridal mini dress. It gives a modern, fun vibe and the photos are amazing.
If going long go super long past the floor. If not then I would do a short veil or one the same size as your dress.
Shoes for a bridal mini dress
Shoes are so important when wearing a bridal mini dress. I pop of colour is a fun choice. A heel is a good choice with your legs out, heels always help elongate and tone your legs.
