15 Short Wedding Dresses That Break Tradition In The Best Way

Short but sweet

Wedding dresses have changed over the years – and so have we. Not every bride wants swooping trains, massive ballgowns or Princess Diana-style puff sleeves (although we can tell you how to get that look here), and we’re seeing more break from tradition with their wedding looks. Looking for some inspiration? We’ve rounded up the best short wedding dresses of the season, featuring the likes of RIXO, Stella McCartney and a bundle of brands available to rent now.

As always, keep the planet in mind when shopping. Re-wearing old clothes is the best way to be sustainable, but if you can’t avoid it then shop consciously at responsible retailers, as well as rental and resale sites.
