The Best Short Wedding Dress Ideas From The Latest Collections

Get it Shorty

1 of 51

Lengthy trains, floor-length hemlines and ample doses of drama are all supposedly part and parcel of the ultimate wedding day ensemble. But, after you've landed the gown and start to shop for your pre-aisle outfits–rehearsal dinner, after party, showers and beyond–you may come to realize that perhaps, short dresses are where it's at. It's not unheard of to hear a bride gushing over her excitement to wear her sexy, after party look over her ballgown, and nothing is more chic, effortless or cool than seeing a bride let loose after she sheds her full skirt, emerging from her suite in a short, flirty dress fit for dancing the night away. Fact is, shorter hemlines are no longer reserved for civil ceremonies and a wedding's surrounding events–and we'd suggest you consider wearing one down the aisle. If you dare, here are 50 dresses that may just give the lengthy, dramatic wedding gown a run for its money–and it's length, size and scale.
