Short wedding dresses are the bridal trend for 2023 and beyond

Sure, there's also the best boho wedding dresses, maternity wedding dresses and high street wedding dresses for all year round to consider, but short wedding dresses are a whole different ball game. According to Karen Millen, searches for 'mini wedding dress' and 'mini bridal dress' soared 229% and 423% worldwide after the Richie-Grainge wedding and Jennie Kim's Met Gala look. So if that doesn't tell you to give them a chance, I don't know what will.

Its easy to assume that there's only one type of dress when it comes to your big day – typically floor-length and made of chiffon, satin or lace – and I'm the first to admit that I was in that camp, but, actually, there are some stunning above-the-knee designs that'll have you feeling (and looking) just as spectacular as a wedding gown/ball gown would.

There's no reason as to why you can't join your gal pals with their short bridesmaids dresses and wedding guest dresses and have a shorter hemline yourself.

For something short and sweet, look to this ASOS EDITION Lila satin off-the-shoulder mini dress (PSA: ASOS has a Wedding Shop for all of your bridal needs), or if you wanted to imitate Kardashian-Barker's look, this Dolce & Gabbana x Kim satin mini dress is ideal. Elsewhere, if you're keen to embrace the square neck wedding dress trend à la Sofia, this Emilia Wickstead silhouette is a beautiful choice.
