The demand for short wedding dresses increased over the past few years, as more brides move away from wearing the typical floor-length and made of chiffon, satin or lace gowns to their big day. High hemlines are becoming ever more popular, whether worn for the ceremony or reception. Ivory or white is still the trend among brides who want to retain an element of tradition, made from typical wedding dress fabrications like silk and tulle.
Embracing the short wedding dress trend is the ultimate statement to make if you’re a modern bride, they’re great for showing off those designer wedding shoes, and you can also re-wear them. If you want to extend the shelf-life of your mini bridal dress, you can also consider getting it altered, as it might just become the best party dress in your wardrobe, especially given its sentimentality.
The search for a short wedding dress does not need to be limited to bridal outlets. Off-the-rail styles especially from designer brands are equally appropriate–and often, lower-priced–than a dress made specifically for whatever kind of bride you want to be.
Here, we edit some of the best short wedding dresses available on the market now.
Perfect for modern brides who want to make a statement, show off their shoes or simply dance the night away in style, this mini dress featuring the signature draped bow of Vania Romoff is a must-consider option.
From the flattering square neckline and delicately thin straps, to the silky cloth, what’s not to love about this simple yet elegant mini dress?
Zoo Label offers up loads of variety for brides-to-be; case in point with this romantic Angelique dress featuring a full floral detail on the neckline.
