Indeed, the appetite for short wedding dresses has steadily increased in recent years, as more brides move away from aisle-sweeping gowns that scoop up everything in their path in favour of more practical hemlines that don’t require a hitch. Style icons such as Yoko Ono and Audrey Hepburn both married in 1969, wearing chic white minidresses devoid of metres of tulle, and setting the tone for modern bridal dressing that was well ahead of their time. Today, structured corsetry, sculptural draping, and couture-like embellishment give modern bridal minis the same sense of occasion as traditional gowns, while allowing far greater freedom of movement – ideal for town hall ceremonies (like Charli’s), destination weddings, or brides who want to dance without the encumbrance of a train.
