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...

    My dress has a long train. But I got it altered to have a bustle so I can still dance at the reception

    Short. We’ll be swing dancing for our first dance, and I didn’t want to deal with a large bustle.

    It trails behind but then can be pulled up in a gorgeous bustle for the dance floor.

    My train is a moderate length. I was hoping for a short train, but it is so beautiful and detailed, and looks so beautiful bustled...

    Long. Plus I have a cathedral length cape veil! But the dress will be bustled, and cape will come off for the reception.

    I had a short one, but I am having it removed. There are no special details on the end of my dress so they are just removing that when they hem the dress. I never really wanted a train and I hate the look of bustles on myself.
