Simple, off the peg and inexpensive!

Customer review:

"This dress is by far the best but cheapest dress I have ever bought...it is so beautifully made and not tacky in any way... I was worried about the dress being made cheaply and looking tacky and it looks expensive, fits beautifully and it's such a great fabulous dress I cannot praise it enough...absolutely superb."

Why are informal short wedding dresses popular?

They are great for a last minute wedding where the only realistic choice is to buy a dress straight off the peg.
Short wedding dresses are more practical for a beach wedding both for an informal look and for practicality - no messing up your dress in the sand! They also work well in other destination wedding locations like Las Vegas, one of the most popular places in the world to tie the knot.
Not every bride wants a formal wedding and short dresses are perfect for a more casual look. They are also really cheap especially if you shop at your local discount fashion retailer!
Forget the "meringue" skirt or that fairytale Cinderella look. Just grab an inexpensive short wedding gown and prepare to party with your friends.

Simple Wedding Dresses

Short wedding dresses come in various lengths.

Tea length dresses fall below the knee and flatter most figures. They are great for beach venues, sophisticated evening garden weddings and outdoor weddings.

Knee length is the next choice but you do need good legs for this length.

Avoid above the knee dresses, especially micro-minis unless you have bags of confidence and a great set of pins!

How to Buy Tea Length Wedding Dresses

Your local bridal store should have a selection of informal short wedding dresses. Check out the bridesmaid sections as many of these dresses are short length and you will save hundreds of $$'s.
Better still, forget the bridal store and scour the highstreet. You are not restricted to white or ivory of course as many casual weddings, especially second marriages, feature the bride in a colored wedding dress.

Online retailers have a wide choice of short informal dresses in many colors, both traditional white and other shades.
And if a designer wedding dress is on your list, then a short one will cost far less, especially if you can get hold of a shop sample!
Another option is to hunt out the cocktail dress section in your local department store. Many top designers now offer "diffusion" ranges in these stores, again saving lots of money!
