If you’re a bride-to-be shopping for a wedding dress in Southern California or Los Angeles and dreaming of something fresh, fun, and a little unexpected, mini or short wedding dresses are one of the most exciting new bridal fashion trends. Just back from seeing all of the new bridal fashion trends, we are sharing why short or mini dresses are so loved, which styles you’ll find at Lovella Bridal, and how LA brides can incorporate a short bridal gown into their overall wedding day style.
Brides who want a fun after party wedding dress or a modern, fashion-forward moment are loving these shorter silhouettes. Mini and short wedding dresses bring a playful energy and are perfect if you want a second look, love a flirty hemline, or want something easy to dance in all night without giving up any of the luxury.
Mini and short wedding dresses are trending across top bridal designers and were one of the key bridal fashion moments we spotted coming down the runways at New York Bridal Fashion Week. These shorter hemlines bring high-fashion personality to your wedding outfit and give brides another way to personalize their wedding day look. As a top luxury bridal boutique in Glendale, California, Lovella Bridal curates the best couture wedding gowns and accessories to help you explore this stylish trend with confidence.
Why Brides Love Mini or Short Wedding Dresses
Mini and short wedding dresses are loved for their playful vibes and their ability to easily, yet dramatically change up their bridal throughout the wedding day. Many brides choose a short bridal gown as an after party wedding dress so they can move freely, dance comfortably, and enjoy the celebration without a long train. Others love a short bridal dress for engagement parties, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, or portrait sessions.

Shorter bridal dress silhouettes highlight the legs and create a modern, confident look that still feels chic and intentional. Fabrics like lace, satin, crepe, and embellished tulle offer structure, movement, and softness depending on your style. Brides can choose details such as pearl beading, oversized bows, corset bodices, draped necklines, floral appliqués, puff sleeves, or feather trims for a fashion-forward statement.
Mini and short wedding dresses also photograph beautifully, especially when paired with standout accessories like a dramatic veil, statement earrings, or embellished bridal shoes. For the bride wanting a fun, flirty, and editorial bridal moment, a short wedding dress is a perfect fit. Be sure to get our top bridal accessory trends that we saw coming down the runways this year.
