Short Vera Wang Wedding Dress

While Xeni intended to take the traditional route when it came to her down-the-aisle duds, she quickly changed gears. “I tried on a few wedding dresses, found myself swimming in all of them and opted for a short dress,” Xeni says. “Prayers for unseasonably warm November weather followed—and were honored.” She settled on a ballet-inspired A-line Vera Wang dress with an ethereal organza skirt and illusion back and neckline.
