UPDATE: It has been so much fun getting your emails, stories and short dress photos! Keep them coming. I’d like to have all submissions by Wednesday, February 4th. And don’t forget to include your Weddingbee name (or how you’d like to be acknowledged), the dress maker, and where you got it, to help other brides. If you’re worried about surprises being ruined I can crop your head out of the photos (does that sound creepy?) so no one will know it’s you!

The Ring Shots series has gotten so popular that I thought I’d put out a call for photos of something I love — short wedding dresses. Until recently I was the only short dress “bee” and always wished I could see images of bee readers in their short wedding dresses.
Are you planning to wear a short wedding dress? Were you already a short dress bride?
If so, I’d LOVE to see photos of you in your dress that I can share with the hive in a future post. They can be from your fitting, a bridal session, or from your wedding.
(If there is a lot of interest, this could be a few posts.) Email them to onion (at) weddingbee.com. Please include where you got your dress (designer/store), to help other brides search for their perfect dress. And, if the picture was shot by a professional photographer, please include his/her name.
Here are a few photos of my gown, a Romona Keveza from her legends collection that I bought at Mark Ingram’s Bridal Atelier in NYC:

I loved your pictures! And your dress fit you so well. 
I’m not going to be a shortie dress bride, but I look forward to seeing others’ submissions!
You look beautiful! I’m not a short dress, but I’m already excited to see what pictures everyone sends you!
I really love the short dresses by Stephanie James…
Oh, and this could be a fun jumping-off point for a whole line of pictures — birdcage veil, colored shoes, etc.
How many halves-y brides are there out there?? I’m a 2 dress bride, but I couldn’t decide! Long? short? I love them both! 
I bought a ML long dress, and I have a linen/silk short dress from jcrew that’s cute as a button.
i was a short dress bride too! i’ll be emailing you info.
Yay! I’m hoping to be a SDB, so I’m psyched for this roundup!
This post is making me really want a short dress! So cute. Loved your dress and Mrs. Pineapples!!
I’m definitely in the short dress camp. We’re having a laid back park/forest/bbq wedding and a long dress seems too formal for our kind of occasion.
I’ve noticed that most short dresses are decidedly “preppy” or “retro” which is really cute but has anyone seen any short wedding-ish dresses that aren’t as… structured?
I.LOVE.IT! Super stylish and so sweet. While my wedding gown is long, my reception dress will be short and fifties-esque.
I too will be a SDB! My dress won’t be here until April but I ordered an adorable Dessy bridesmaids dress in white. I can’t wait to see other pics for inspiration!
Please keep the pictures coming. Even if you dress hasn’t arrived yet, if you have a picutre of it I’ll consider those too!
yoyohanna — I have seen some more romantic shorter dresses — check out these dresses via tickeledpinkbrides.com: http://www.tickledpinkbrides.com/brideblog/images/2008/03/28/short_gown_board.jpg
or these choices via dcnearlybrides.com: http://www.dcnearlyweds.com/uploaded_images/collage-741648.jpg — the Melissa Sweet on the top left is very sweet and romantic.
Not only am I wearing a short dress, I’ll be wearing red heels with it. As the wedding creeps closer, that’s the one thing I’m getting nervous about. My FMIL isn’t happy about the short dress, so I can’t imagine what she’ll say when she sees the shoes.
I love Mrs. Candy Corn’s sassy little dress. Although my dress is long, I half wish it weren’t, so I could rock some seriously fabulous shoes.
Awww I had just decided that I shouldn’t do a short dress and now I’m not so sure anymore :-/ I LOVE SHORT DRESSES!
Thanks for the links Mrs. Onion.
[...] Just when I decide I probably shouldn’t wear a short dress Mrs. Onion posts this about Short Dress Brides and I’m sucked back in! I LOVED her’s and Mrs. Candy [...]
I’m going to be a short-dress bride, but I don’t want to send pics until after the wedding!
Adorable! I’ll be looking forward to the round-up post Mrs. Onion!
I AM a short dress bride! I am thrilled you are doing a post on it! I have looked and looked for people who are going this route! Thank you for posting! I swear I have seen EVERY one out there : ) Another beautiful bride had this same dress and I could never find out who made this dress. Her wedding:

I am NOW debating on what veil looks best with the shorter option. If anyone has ideas, please send ideas
