Have you ever thought about breaking out of the traditional wedding dress mold? Are you tempted by bridal jumpsuits, tuxedo pants, or lace toppers?

Which alternative bridal trend is your top pick? Short wedding dresses or bridal separates?

    I would choose separates over a short dress.

    Didn't consider either of these, but I would choose separates rather than a short dress.

    I would probably choose neither of these, but separates is better than short.

    Length of dress depending on type of wedding, if T-shirt formal traditional then long. A casual wedding a shorter dress can be ok

    It depends on your body type. Short dresses hide more

    Separates. I can understand a short dress for a more low-key wedding or maybe for a cute retro style, but I wanna go full princess for mine, and I've seen some interesting separate combos that could still totally achieve that look.

    If I had to choose, I'd go with separates. I like the idea of being able to have two skirts that change the look of the dress between the ceremony and the reception.

    Honestly, separates over a short dress. I don’t know, there’s just something nice about the separates kind of look!

    Separates. I don’t care for short wedding dresses and the separate pieces are fun the mix and match
