As couples plan smaller intimate weddings around covid restrictions, brides are choosing short formal evening style dresses for their small ceremonies before choosing a bigger statement dress for when they can party and celebrate with friends and family again.
Celebrity influence, such as Lily Allen’s short Dior wedding dress for her Vegas wedding back in September 2020, has also helped boost the trend, giving brides ideas on how to style their short wedding dress.
Many designers have also featured less length in their 2021 collections, from hi-low hemlines, short skirts with long trains and introducing different textures, such as tassels and feathers, to wedding day looks.
