Petite Wedding Dresses for Short Brides

For shorter brides, it is best to ensure your chosen dress isn’t the one wearing you, instead of you wearing it. Have your natural beauty and figure at the forefront of your bridal ensemble by browsing petite bridal dresses in a simple and refined style with minimal and intricate detailing.  

Gracefully glide down the aisle in a simple petite wedding dress to let your bridal glow radiate as this style focuses on elongating and sculpting your figure with luxurious and rich fabrics. Achieve an elevated look by adoring your classy and laid-back petite bridal wear with a selection of bridal accessories such as a royalty-inspired tiara or a traditional and dainty wedding veil.  

Quite similar in style, column and sheath wedding gowns are an ethereal choice due to them being styles that naturally keep your curves the star of the show. You can distinguish the difference between these two styles due to a sheath gown being more form-fitted while column wedding dresses for short brides gently skim your figure and the contour of your body.  

Sheath and column bridal dresses for short women made with quality crepe or satin are the perfect combination. When used together, they let your overall bridal attire style speak for itself, offering a sleek shine in person and in your wedding photos. Wedding gowns for petite brides can also be crafted by artisans using satin or lace fabrics to create your dream streamlined gown.  

Bridal dresses for short brides also look breathtaking in a mermaid silhouette, which works similarly to a sheath style with a formfitting and figure-flattering outline. However, you are provided with a chic flared skirt at the bottom, adding a sophisticated charm to your look.  

Wedding dresses for short women can also be used to create an on-trend transformative look you can switch up from your ceremony to your reception, leaving your guests in awe. For one, wear a refined mermaid wedding gown down the aisle and then before making a memorable entrance at your celebration, add a removable overskirt to your bridal attire to accentuate the flared skirt with a subtle touch of extravagance. 

If you like some aspects of the wedding dresses for petite women listed above but prefer one solid style with subtle drama, wear a classic and popular A-line wedding dress for your nuptials. Typically, A-line dresses for petite brides are fitted with a sculpted upper body and then a skirt with gradual flare.  

The best wedding dresses for short brides in an A-line style will draw more focus on your upper figure and then have a skirt that works with your unique proportions, so it doesn’t take away from the overall aesthetic of your makeup, accessories or hair.
