Short or Long Train?

How long is the train on your wedding dress?? Is your train long, sweeping, and dramatic? Or are you keeping it a little more dance-floor friendly? Is your train short or long? Are you keeping it on the shorter side? Photo by Katie Stoops Photography in Harrisonburg, VA Or letting it trail behind...

    I think mine is a chapel length train... it’s not as long as I would’ve liked it to be, but it’s great for my cathedral veil because both the details on the train and the veil can be seen.

    Short like me 😆 my dress is a tea length A-line dress so I don't have a train. I always imagined having a poofy princess ballgown with a long sweeping train but I would change my dress for anything. ❤😊❤

    Short. There's practically no train involved.

    I would say more medium-long, I’m going to have it bustled for the reception though.

    Short for sure. I'd prefer no train at all, but the dress i'm eyeing has just a small one

    I haven't gone dress shopping yet, I have my first appointment with my MOH and mom in three weeks! I like the idea of a long train, but I'm not sure if it's the best idea for our venue.

    Medium?? Haha. It wasn’t super short but it’s not long either. Just right I guess.

    The dresses I have been looking at have relatively long trains that I will probably get cut in half. I love the train and the bustle but our ceremony will be outside in Florida most likely after a fresh rainfall so even though I think my train will be beautiful long I plan on being cautious.

    I did like a swoop train, originally I didn't want a train at all but then I had a vision of what it would look like and this dress is perfect and by my favorite designer, and it's going to be bustled to the back of my dress for reception. I am super happy about this dress and can't wait to wear it on my wedding day.
