The Best Short Wedding Dresses For Casual Ceremonies

Khaite’s minimalist Paulina Dress looks fantastic from all angles — but its back, which is decorated with delicate straps, is particularly stunning.

Reformation’s high-neck, silky Corinth style is one of those rare white dresses you can actually wear again for other occasions. All you’d need to do is pair it with colorful accessories — drop earrings or a novelty handbag, for instance — to steer it away from bridal vibes.

Floral jacquard material ensures this Kaviar Gauche design exudes a sense of formality, while its winged volant (aka French for flying) sides keep the style feeling playful and at ease.

Your wedding dress can boast trendy cutouts because why not, right? Whimsical label Sister Jane offers a floral appliqué mini dress with oblique-revealing details.

Swap the floor-sweeping train for a statement bubble hem! This silhouette, for example, merges a playful spirit with inherent romance, making it perfect for more intimate ceremonies.

Molly Goddard is a master of bold feminine fashion, so it’s hardly a surprise the designer’s newly-launched bridal collection takes an avant-garde approach. With its asymmetry, mini-skirt silhouette, and bow detailing, the brand’s Laurel Dress is an particularly inspired interpretation of wedding fashion.

For a dress that feels as much of a celebration as the ceremony itself, try Sophie et Voilà’s fringe-lined mini number — especially if you plan to hit the dance floor later.

Tap into an effortless French woman aesthetic with this halter dress. The intricate waist drapery references the signature look of a traditional wedding gown, just in the Simon Porte for Jacquemus way.

Even a small civil wedding warrants a dramatic scene-stealing dress. So why not opt for this flouncy tulle confection?

Brides who crave glitz and glam should look no further than Nana Jacqueline’s darling Elsie. Add excess sparkle through hair jewelry — and perhaps a pair of diamond-encrusted pumps.
