Short wedding dresses
Short wedding dresses are the perfect choice for brides who want a modern, effortless look. Ideal for civil ceremonies, garden weddings and receptions, they combine freedom of movement with refined bridal detail.
Each dress is hand-crafted at DAMA Couture from carefully selected fabrics.
A short wedding dress for the way you want to celebrate
You might picture your favourite shoes beneath the hem, a city ceremony or a second look for the evening. Short wedding dresses give you another way to express what you like wearing. Choose the shape and level of detail that feel like you.
Finding the right hem length
The same hem can sit differently depending on your height and the dress's proportions. Try your preferred length with the shoes you plan to wear. Walk, turn and sit down so you can judge the dress in movement as well as standing in front of the mirror.
Smooth fabric or a lace detail?
A smooth skirt makes its shape particularly visible. Lace adds texture, whether it is concentrated on the bodice or continues further down the dress. Compare our satin and lace wedding dresses if you would like to explore those different effects.
For a civil ceremony or an evening change
A short dress can be your look for the whole day or a change you look forward to later. Think about the route to your ceremony and the celebration afterwards. Our civil wedding dresses include other lengths to compare; the occasion does not decide the hem for you.
Try short DAMA dresses in a boutique
Find a partner boutique and ask which of your favourites are available as samples. Your consultant will help with sizing and your order. Discuss the hem length and any alterations with the boutique, along with any accessories you want to try.
