Who says you have to wear a long wedding dress on your big day? A bridal gown can be anything your heart desires and anything that reflects your personality! That's why I highly suggest choosing a dress that makes you feel happy, even if it's not the usual style expected of a bride. Do not be afraid to explore out of your comfort zone, which is why we're diving into short wedding dresses today!
If you're having a casual celebration or just want to make a loud statement, an ankle length dress can be the way to go! Here are the top reason why a short dress is fitting:
1- Casual but Chic Short Wedding Dresses
If you're looking for a casual look on your wedding day but still want to be glamorous, here are a few options for you. You can go for a sweetheart neckline dress with a tight corset and skirt. A short dress doesn't make it any less bridal, only more fun and comfortable!
In order to look pretty, you have to feel pretty and you definitely will in Deja! This statement strapless mini dress tailored for the contemporary bride. Crafted from lustrous satin weave, it showcases a clean straight neckline and artful draping at the waist that flows into a chic mini skirt. Ideal for a second bridal look or a stylish evening celebration.
2- Religious Ceremony or Civil Wedding
For those who are holding a religious ceremony such as a katb kteb which are usually an intimate event. For such occasion, a long wedding dress might not be very practical given the fact that you might feel slightly over-dressed. Don't get me wrong, when you're a bride there's no such thing as over-dressed, that's for sure. After all it is your big day and the only day you get to wear something unique, so embrace it! But still, you might feel weird wearing that extravagant wedding gown with everyone around you in casual wear. In that sense, a cocktail wedding might do the trick as it's still a bridal dress but with a modern casual twist.

3- Second Bridal Look
For the brides who are not sold on the short wedding gown trend, no worries you can still participate. Instead of wearing one dress to both the ceremony and the reception, you can always choose two and still look 'bridal'. Start your big day with a long, traditional wedding gown for these royal walking down the aisle pictures, then change into your short dress for the party.
4- Rock that Exit Look!
Are you familiar with the exit look? Basically, some brides like to change into another dress, something casual to exit their venue. It's a popular tradition in the USA where guests gather around the newly-weds and see them off. Even if you're not going to have an exit moment, we think a comfortable dress is a must after a long day. In that sense, we would recommend changing into Umberta dress.
This chic off-the-shoulder short wedding dress features a structured corset bodice, soft draped tulle sleeves, and a voluminous flared skirt. Perfect for a modern bride seeking a playful yet elegant look, this dress blends contemporary style with timeless charm. Pair it with colorful heels and jewelry, a fun bag and look your best on your next occasion!
