There’s no written rule stating that wedding dresses have to be floor-length and flowing. Obviously we love a traditional lengthy number, but we realise this style is not for everyone.

For the bride who wants something short ‘n’ chic à la Keira Knightley, there’s always Chanel couture autumn/winter 2014.

Admittedly these intricate creations are very likely to break the bank, but they’re also incredibly beautiful. 

And what’s to stop you from wearing your chic little Chanel number again and again?

If Keira can do it, so can you – although we advise steering clear of red wine.
