Big weddings are out, personality is in. And nothing says stylish, confident, and ready to celebrate like a mini wedding gown—especially when it’s made just for you.

When Denise came to Afterpartybride, she had one request: “I want something fun, something I can dance in, and something that still feels bridal.” A full-length gown didn’t match her casual garden ceremony or her plans for a rooftop afterparty. We customised a mini with a detachable organza skirt, tailored to her shape and style. She stunned her guests during the day, then popped off the skirt for a clean, modern look at night. Her only regret? Not finding it sooner.

Mini gowns are perfect for brides who want to move freely, feel comfortable, and truly enjoy their day. They’re less restrictive, lighter to carry, and far more re-wearable than traditional gowns. Whether it’s a civil ceremony, an elopement, or a post-wedding shoot, a mini gown fits—and shines—without the weight of layers and trains.

Our custom minis start with your vision. You can rent one of our signature 2-piece sets for $790, or have one handcrafted just for you—tailored, layered, and detailed—starting from $2,000 to $6,000. Every gown is made in-house, with styling guidance to match your occasion. The detachable skirt adds ceremony-worthy elegance, while the mini underneath keeps things modern and practical. Best of all, it’s lightweight enough for overseas shoots and flexible enough to suit every moment of your celebration.

Modern, effortless, and completely you—your mini gown awaits. Book your custom fitting with Afterpartybride today: https://calendar.app.google/SYULmTNndBvuer439
