While we believe brides should wear whatever makes them feel the most beautiful, there are certain styles of wedding dresses that look absolutely flattering on petite frames. Short dresses, fitting silhouettes, and halter necklines are some of the best designs made for the petite bride. Read on to see which style fits you and your vibe just right.

A slip dress is always a timeless choice for any type of wedding. Another great fit for a summer bride, what we love about this style is its versatility! It not only works as a wedding dress, but also as a sexy reception number, and can easily be worn again!

We absolutely love short dresses! A smart and stylish choice for a petite bride, short dresses show off your legs and create the ideal look for unconventional brides that are looking to make a statement with their bold and unique style.
Jumpsuits & Maxi Dresses

If you’re looking to wear a jumpsuit down the aisle or change into one for the reception, we say go for it! One like this fitted bodice perfectly showcases your figure, while making you feel comfortable and not at all restricted as most dresses and gowns otherwise do. A Maxi dress is also great
Bow Babes

Another fashionable style for the unique bride, the details of this dress are everything! From the tie sleeves to the crystal trim straps and belt, there is nothing we don’t love about this Markarian dress. Plus, with bows being a fashion trend this year, we can’t help but swoon over any dress featuring the delicate details.
