Match their wedding day looks to yours with the help of our complete bridesmaid gown guide

Its common to wonder whether or not a short wedding dress should just be limited to the after party, but London-based designer Teresa Scognamiglio of Teresa Si Couture believes theres no reason why you couldnt wear a high hemline all day: A short dress, particularly tea-length or ballerina-length silhouettes, can achieve a sophisticated formality through the use of couture materials like hand-beaded French lace, silk Mikado or layers of fine silk tulle, she explains

The asymmetrical cut draws the eye upward and balances the silhouette, while the smooth crepe fabric falls cleanly over the body

Add glittery makeup, a dramatic flame-inspired headband, and a red choker to bring this look to life
