floral cocktail dresses Nox Anabel T207 Pleated Short Corset Print Dress Elevate your special occasion with the Andrea Ever-Pretty Floral Print Flutter Sleeve

Its common to wonder whether or not a short wedding dress should just be limited to the after party, but London-based designer Teresa Scognamiglio of Teresa Si Couture believes theres no reason why you couldnt wear a high hemline all day: A short dress, particularly tea-length or ballerina-length silhouettes, can achieve a sophisticated formality through the use of couture materials like hand-beaded French lace, silk Mikado or layers of fine silk tulle, she explains

Remember: creativity and uniqueness are the be-all and end-all here

Cocktail attire DON'T: Forget the details Details are important with cocktail attire, and something as small as a beaded belt or a satin clutch can take your look to the next level

Reflect your personal style : Your accessories should reflect your unique style and personality

Unless you do floral maxis or something pretty casual, they arent ever going to wear the dress again
