Do bridesmaid dresses have trains?

Trains on bridesmaid dresses are very uncommon. They add length and weight, which makes walking, dancing and standing for photos more difficult. Bridesmaids often need to move around a lot, helping with the dress, carrying bouquets, or walking down an aisle, so a train would get in the way. Some formal or vintage styles might have a small sweep train, but that is the exception. If you love the look of a train, you could choose a dress with a detachable train or a longer hemline that can be bustled. But for most weddings, a simple floor length or midi dress without a train is the practical choice. It also means your bridesmaids can wear the dress again more easily, which many will appreciate. If you are having an outdoor wedding, a train can pick up mud, grass or leaves, so a shorter or train free style is often kinder. Talk to your bridal party about what feels comfortable. The most important thing is that everyone can move, sit and dance with ease.
