Short wedding dresses are typically reserved for the wedding reception or after-party, and are also frequently seen at registry office weddings - but not for Kourtney Kardashian. But, you don't fancy splurging on a D&G dress and you're looking for a cheap wedding dress, we've got you covered. Keep scrolling to shop our buyer's guide to the best short wedding dresses.
Kourtney Kardashian's wedding to Travis Barker was nothing short of mesmerising. From the Portofino sunset in the backdrop to Kourtney's extravagant veil, our wedding daydreams were more than realised. The star of the show? The reality star's Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress that's had us rethinking our entire wedding mood board.
There's no doubt that Kourt slayed the look, giving the classic full-length dress a run for its money. Apart from the obvious visual appeal (AKA, major leg bare-age), the short wedding dress trend is also much more versatile, meaning you can wear it to events outside of your wedding. Plus, who doesn't want to show off their cheeky tan...?
If you've been eyeing up the short wedding dress trend, you've come to the right place. We've curated a list of high street wedding dresses including brands like ASOS wedding dresses, Revolve, Coast and more. Keep scrolling to shop our top picks below.
