Mid-length dresses were made for shoe lovers! Most brides might spend days, even weeks, searching for their wedding shoes with some splashing out on expensive designer footwear to mark the occasion. However, these beautiful designs are often hidden underneath full-length gowns, meaning your wedding party are often unable to admire them along with you. Shorter, mid-length gowns are able to give your shoes centre stage, giving your more of an excuse to treat yourself to the perfect pair.

Dance the night away

Full length wedding dresses often aren’t the most practical option for the dance floor. Stylish mid-length dresses give you the freedom to show off your best moves with your family and friends. What’s more, if you are considering wearing a different dress for the ceremony and reception, why not enjoy the best of both worlds and opt for a shorter version for the evening?

Keep your cool

 If you’re jetting off to get married in warmer climes, an LWD can be the perfect option. Allowing you to show off your bronzed skin, a shorter gown is great for helping you to keep your cool amongst the sun and pre-wedding nerves. Along with being far easier to pack and transport than their full-length counterparts, they’re also a very practical option if you’re opting for a beach wedding - as you don’t risk getting the bottom of your dress covered in sand!

A laidback affair

Mid length dresses are perfect if you are opting for a more laid-back wedding as they still give you a great sense of style. They’re great whether you’re opting for an on-trend festival style wedding so you can enjoy all of the festival-action, or if youre choosing to host an intimate gathering with your family and friends.

 Brides often spend lots of time, and money, investing in their dream wedding dress – but then only get to wear it for one day of their lives. Some brides choose to have their gowns altered after the big day and made into shorter versions they can re-wear. However, by opting for a shorter style to begin with, you have no need to make any changes to your perfect dress – and have your anniversary outfit sorted!
