Day one! #bbfw25

Day one! #bbfw25

Day 1 of #bbfw25 is proof the mini is a firm fixture for the foreseeable, with brands redefining bridal fashion with bold silhouettes, flirtatious hemlines, and modern edge. From structured corsetry and voluminous skirts to sleek satin and delicate lace, designers showcased how the mini can be just as bridal — and far more unexpected.

Perfect for fashion-forward brides, civil ceremonies, after-parties, or destination weddings, these short stunners prove that you don’t need a train to make a grand entrance!

The mini is no longer just an afterthought. It’s officially the moment.
