Short Bridesmaid Dresses for Warm-Weather Weddings

Some bridesmaids-to-be prefer longer gowns, while others would rather wear cocktail-length dresses. It's hard to please every girl, which is why many brides have adopted the mismatched bridesmaid dress trend where each member of the bridal party dons their choice of gown as long as it is in the same color family, material, or silhouette as the others. Unfortunately, most mismatched bridesmaids that look cohesive wear dresses that are the same length; so it may be difficult to appease bridesmaids who want to wear a mixture of short and long dresses. If you like the look of shorter gowns and feel it's right for the formality of your wedding, women with a wide range of body types and heights can look absolutely lovely when styled right. 

Take a look at the bridesmaids below who donned short bridesmaid dresses beautifully! Some wore lightweight chiffon numbers, while others went for more structured fabrics that were tailored to each bridesmaids' specifications. Lace is another elegant way to add some personality to a shorter frock! For more inspiration from these real weddings, click on each photo to see the rest of the celebrations!
