For a church wedding, a very short dress is a nono

For a church wedding, a very short dress is a nono, and not allowed. I agree this is tacky in this case. Same with very low cut dresses.

But for a casual wedding, it can work. If a bride has amazing legs and is in great shape, a 3/4 tea length gown or even shorter can look good. This can also work well for a beach wedding. Truthfully, very few women can wear this and look great, but for the 2% of the population that can pull this off and look beautiful and not trashy, why not let them do it? What any different from the popular strapless gowns women are falling out of? Some people think it classier to show legs rather than boobs. I say let them.

I think that they can be a great fashion option  very stylish and unique. Not every woman needs to look like a fluffy meringue or Cinderella! And very appropriate for a second wedding or a different setting (like an art gallery or a boat or beach) that is not a huge church, too. Individuality is something that all brides should have in their weddings, and being different is not "tacky", it only a short dress, it not pasties a gstring. I seen some incredible designer shorter dresses worn with Manolo pumps to die for, that were far more stylish made much more of an entrance than some $99 off the rack special from David
