Wedding dresses are, by tradition, made long. It’s more formal, elegant and romantic. But we have to acknowledge the fact that the length may not be flattering to all brides. On the other hand, the idea of cutting the hemline short wouldn’t be as special as wearing a long dress on your wedding day. It’s quite understandable that it’ll pose as a big dilemma for the bride.
How can one choose?

For this bride, she opted to go for a short wedding dress simply because it flattered her most. Makes sense, really. Wouldn’t a bride want to wear something that will truly make her look her best on one of the most special days in her life? That’s what truly matters, in my opinion.
Key things to remember:
- Bride’s preference
- Over-all wedding theme
- Availability of wedding dress designs
What height is considered too short to wear a long wedding dress anyway? It will depend on the bride’s ability to carry it off. If the desired wedding theme, think warm, casual and laid-back, can accommodate a short wedding dress, then opting to go that route is feasible. And if you’ve got a variety of designs in short wedding dresses to allow you to say that you’ve found that perfect wedding dress then go for it!
A friend is considering to go short on her wedding especially after seeing the Lanvin bride mannequin that it can be glamorous, too. But, personally, I still love how long wedding dresses look. It’s not everyday that you can splurge on something so elaborate and elegant.
