We've found 26 TDF short wedding dresses – and some of them are on sale (1)

The trend for short wedding dresses seems to be going nowhere in 2024.

Tbh, we're still thinking about the moment Sofia Richie donned a custom-made Chanel number to her wedding afterparty, and our memories of Kourtney Kardashian's Dolce & Gabbana corseted mini still aren't fading. And then there was Sophie Habboo, who stunned in Vivienne Westwood at her London ceremony last year. In short (if you pardon the pun), we haven't stopped lusting over the many phenomenal leg-exposing options available for the big day for a while now.

Looking incredible isn't all that short wedding dresses have to offer, though. They also provide a chic break from tradition for the modern-day bride, differentiate between ceremonies should you have more than one, remove some of the suspense from outdoor nuptials (grass stains? We don't know her) and make getting down on the dance floor that bit easier.

Plus, why stop at one dress with the many events leading up to and concluding the ceremony? There's the rehearsal dinner, the reception afterparty, not to mention the journey to the honeymoon destination – all of which are perfect opportunities to remind everyone you're the bride, but in a cute, slightly less formal ensemble. Basically, shorter hemlines offer extra edge, practicality and mobility to your look.

So, whether you're looking for a sophisticated design for your civil ceremony, a gorgeous 'fit for your rehearsal dinner or a showstopper to wear all day and into the night, we've rounded up the best short wedding dresses ranging from mini to midi and from designer to high street options.
