Can you wear a short dress to a wedding?

A short dress is perfectly acceptable for most UK weddings, especially for daytime or summer events. The key is to keep the length above the knee but not overly revealing, and to choose fabrics and styles that look polished. Avoid anything too casual like beachwear or clubbing attire. If the wedding is in the evening or at a grand venue, a slightly longer hemline or a dress with more coverage may feel more appropriate. Always check the dress code on the invitation if one is given. A short dress works well for garden parties, register office weddings, or relaxed receptions. Pair it with smart shoes, a cover-up if needed, and accessories that match the tone of the day. If you are unsure, a knee-length or tea-length dress is a safe middle ground that still feels festive without risking underdressing.
