Question: What's the Best Wedding Dress Style for Short Women?
Let's be honest - most of us are not as tall as the models in wedding dress editorial photos. The average height of women in the United States is 5'4", not 6'0" like in the pictures. So we often get the question: What are the best wedding dress styles for short brides? Ultimately, it's all about proportions. Two 5'3" brides standing next to each other most likely have two completely different body types. One might love the way a mermaid wedding dress with long sleeves looks while the other might feel the most beautiful in a simple and clean a-line wedding gown. Helping brides say "Yes!" to their dress for over a decade has taught us that no two brides are ever exactly the same. But ultimately, a bride that feels beautiful will stand tall, no matter her height!

Classic Wedding Dresses for Petite Women
If you're a short bride looking for a wedding dress and want something that's going to stand the test of time, look no further than a clean and classic a-line wedding gown! While some brides might feel a full skirt will make them look shorter, we can assure you that it will not only elongate your figure, but will flatter that waistline!
This gorgeous White Bridal Boutiques bride is wearing "Forget Me Not" by Angel Rivera. It is a dreamy off-the-shoulder wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline, natural waist definition, and a full a-line skirt. We just love her elegant and classic wedding day look.
Sexy Wedding Dresses for Short Women
Are you interested in something sexy and flattering to show off that petite frame? We've got you covered! Our couture designers like Wona Concept, Galia Lava, and Martina Liana have exactly what you need to hug every curve.
This stunning White Bridal Boutiques bride knew she wanted something unique and sexy. She went with a sheer corseted whimsical Gala by Galia Lahav wedding dress. It features a structured bodice draped in 3D embroidered lace and an a-symmetrical peplum to elongate the bodice. The flowy sheer a-line tulle skirt completes this romantic couture bridal look.
Short Brides and Wedding Dresses With Long Trains
Some short brides feel a long train will make them look even shorter, but that isn't always the case! A long, narrow train can be quite flattering, no matter your height! A narrow yet lengthy train can really elongate your figure. Some of our wedding dress designers that are known for their statement trains are Dany Tabet, Angel Rivera, and Dora Sasu.
Check out this lovely White Bridal Boutiques bride in her Angel Rivera wedding dress! It is a beautiful alencon lace fit and flare wedding gown with a strapless corset bodice and the most dramatic lace train!
Wedding Dresses With All Over Detail For Petite Brides
Are you a petite bride that's worried all over detail is going to be too overwhelming on your short frame? That doesn't have to be true if it's the right combination of details.
For example, another White Bridal Boutiques real bride look that we LOVE is this custom Dany Tabet wedding dress! This bride wanted all the detail and all the sparkle! And we gave it to her!! We helped her customize the Carmen gown by adding a full head-to-toe sparkle layer under the lace, adding straps, removing the lace hem, and finishing it with pearl buttons down the back. Her petite frame looks absolutely incredible in her custom couture wedding gown.
Answer: A Petite Bride Can Wear Any Style Wedding Dress!
At the end of the day, it is all about confidence! It does not matter if you are a short bride or a tall bride, you can wear whatever style of wedding dress you love, as long as it makes you feel the most beautiful you've ever felt!
