“Minis are a showcase, not an afterthought,” our declaration from The Law Bridal's new wedding dress collection. And she's not the only top bridal designer to devote her creative energy to shorter hemlines this season. 2022 Bridal Fashion Week is shaping up to be an extravagant one, and even the short dresses are making a major statement.

‘Extra' is the word for 2022 brides. Some are planning extra events: ie. a Covid-19 elopement now, wedding later. Others are styling ‘extra' vibes with their bridal fashion, after far too long in WFH robes & loungewear. Thankfully, designers are bridging both gaps. Brides looking for an ‘extra' extra look for all of their extra events, we give you the statement mini. Short wedding dresses that are absolutely ‘extra'.

While we let you ooh and ahh over all the new gowns & accessories on our Instagram, we round up all the best new wedding dresses from the industry's top bridal designers. Today, we devote all our love & energy to the best short wedding dresses from this year's runways. The idea is every single one of these statement minis is ‘extra' enough for your wedding day ceremony & beyond.
