Here, we've collected 13 wedding gowns that will look great on petite brides. Ahead are fun, gorgeous gowns loaded with personalty. Take a look:
13 Wedding Gown Pegs for Petite Brides
1. Simple, smooth gown with a column silhouette, moderate side slit, and forked straps
A simple white sheath dress will flatter any body type. The high waist and slit give a slimming, elongating effect. This is the type of gown that will simply enhance your natural beauty, and not steal the spotlight from it.
2. Wispy, youthful gown with a halter-style top and layered chiffon skirt
If you're planning an intimate garden wedding, you can probably afford to step out a bit in terms of style. Inject your preferred color into the whimsical fighting fish-like skirt. Not all wedding dresses have to be true white!
3. Dreamy dress with a paneled bodice and a flirty, colossal tulle skirt
If you're petite and don't have much vertical range to play with, why not indulge in some volume? This confection of a dress will be an instant head turner.
5. Mixed texture sheer gown with draped sleeves, spaghetti straps, and varied floral embroidery
How about a plunging sweetheart neckline with draped sleeves and dainty straps? It's sheer, and reveals a sultry silhouette.
6. Mermaid-shaped off-shoulder gown with nude lining, 3D floral details, and subtle lace-up bodice
Floral appliqués atop a nude, semi-sheer base is the best mix of sexy and sweet. The structured bust and mermaid cut are very form-fitting, and the poufy train is just so elegant.
7. True white tube shell gown with a tulle underskirt and dramatic floral appliqués
If you're not a fan of the usual sweetheart neckline, ou might want to look into a straight-necked gown. And, no, having a simple bodice won't make a gown look plain, especially if it has as much drama as this gown does from the waist down. Imagine how gorgeous this would look with an ornate veil!
8. Beaded princess gown with a heart-shaped neckline and cape sleeves
As a petite bride, you might have to think about sleeves carefully, because if they're too long or too opaque, they might swallow you up and make you look stifled. If you really love long sleeves and intend on incorporating them into your look, try out sheer, cape-like ones. They achieve the desired look without being too heavy, tight, or restrictive.

Petite brides who are proud of their back and/or collarbones should, by all means, wear a tube dress to highlight them. This is simple gown is classic, but that bow detail keeps it looking forever young.
