We think it’s only right to take style cues from Audrey Hepburn, who at her second wedding in 1969 opted for a mini dress with long sleeves for a simple modern look. Soirée brides are known for changing into shorter dresses for their receptions, allowing them to dance the night away and we think you should too! Check out some of our favorite options below (image source):
