For her destination wedding rehearsal party, Simone Biles gave a scintillating preview of her three Galia Lahav wedding gowns by first stunning in a feather and bead-embellished silver mini-dress. The pre-nuptials frock, customized by Galia Lahav creative director Sharon Sever with spaghetti straps and an asymmetrical hemline, also showcased her sparkling slingback Astrid heels.

With the growing trend of building a full wedding wardrobe, a mini-dress has become a must in the bridal fashion lineup. It’s up to you when and where to wear it. Maybe like Biles, you could go mini for the rehearsal or welcome fête to kick off a multi-day celebration. The “anti-wedding” — i.e., forgoing established traditions — approach also welcomes a short look for the ceremony. Of course, nothing says “after-party!” like a sultry, sassy little mini-dress. But it’s your moment, so you decide where to wear a short dress that you really can wear again.

Final bonus to a mini? Your shoes (and legs) will also be on full display. So below, behold 8 exciting unions of wedding mini-dresses and heels, most of which are shoppable online at Galia Lahav.
