Whether you are looking for a less formal bridal look, or are just wanting to show off some killer shoes - a midi length wedding dress may be just what you are looking for. And right now, they are trending in a big way.
We have always loved the look of a midi length bridal gown. It is the perfect middle ground between a more traditional floor length wedding dress and an always trending bridal mini. And as less formal wedding days rise in popularity, midi length dresses are beginning to make even more sense. Not to mention that the dresses on this list are so chic, that they may have you re-thinking the idea of a full length wedding gown all together.
01. Helsi: Semi-Sheer Midi
This first midi length wedding dress from Helsi is an absolute dream. The mini length slip creates the most stunning semi-sheer appearance for the skirt.

This next midi length wedding dress from Elie Saab is the perfect mix of long and short. The gown itself features a chic ankle length cut with a dramatic thigh high slit.
