Bae bridal dresses: long gowns and short wedding dresses

Bridal silhouettes for every kind of ceremony

A church or religious ceremony usually calls for a long dress and, often, covered shoulders. Here the boleros earn their place: a strapless ruffled maxi with a fleur bolero, or a square-neckline pencil maxi with a bolero. You walk down the aisle covered, then take the bolero off for the reception.

A civil ceremony dress can be shorter and simpler. A strapless midi with a cape bow, a square-neckline mini with a tulle skirt or a V-neck mini with an oversized flower looks unmistakably bridal without the volume of a gown, and it feels right at a registry office, a town hall or a small lunch afterwards.

For an outdoor or destination wedding — a garden, a beach, a vineyard — a cone or pencil maxi keeps a long, clean line without layers of fabric to manage, while an A-line maxi gives more movement and the classic bridal shape. And if you love minimalism, look at the strapless cone maxis with no added detail: one shape, one colour, nothing to distract from you.

Short wedding dresses: mini and midi for a second look

A short wedding dress is not a compromise — it is a choice. If you are planning two looks, wear a long dress for the ceremony and change into a mini or a midi for the evening, the first dance or the after-party, when you want to move freely and sit, laugh and dance without thinking about a train.

Bae's bridal minis and midis cover that brief: strapless minis with a cape bow or a tulle skirt, a mini made of sculpted rosettes, V-neck and square-neckline midis with an oversized flower, and a strapless cone midi with a corsage top. They work just as well on their own for a civil ceremony, a rehearsal dinner or an engagement party.

Boleros, tulle, brooches and bows

A bolero gives you two dresses in one: the covered, ceremonial version and the bare-shouldered party version. In the collection you will find a fleur bolero over a strapless ruffled maxi and a classic bolero over a square-neckline pencil maxi.

Tulle brings lightness and a touch of fairy tale — as a skirt on two of the minis or as a tulle top over a strapless cone maxi. A cape bow or a rose cape bow turns a simple strapless line into a statement from behind — the view your guests see throughout the ceremony. An oversized flower on a V-neck pencil maxi does the same at the neckline, and diamanté adds a little light to a square-neckline maxi.

Pick one hero detail and build the rest around it: veil or no veil, hair up or down, jewellery small or bold. When the dress has a strong detail, everything else can stay quiet.

How to order your bridal dress from Bae

Bae sells through its own online shop, which is in English with prices in euros. Tap a dress on this page and you open the seller's bridal collection; look for the model by its name — Calla, Grace, Noa and so on — and go to its page.

Choose your size with the size chart on the model's page, add the dress to your basket and complete checkout. Payment is made online on the seller's website when you order; cash on delivery is not available. Before paying, check the delivery option, the final total and whether the model is in stock or on pre-order.

Delivery and returns

Under the seller's terms, delivery within Europe takes 2–5 working days, and international delivery outside Europe takes 1–2 weeks. Delivery is free on orders from €400; below that, a charge of €20 per order applies. Customs charges, if any, depend on your country — check at checkout.

Returns are accepted within 28 days of delivery for full-price items that are new, unworn, with tags attached and in their original packaging. Return postage is paid by the customer, and the refund arrives within 10–14 working days after the returned dress reaches the seller's warehouse.

Timing and try-on: give yourself room before the wedding

A wedding date does not move, so the dress should arrive well ahead of it. Some models are sold on pre-order — the seller shows this on the model's page — so compare the expected dispatch time with your date before you pay.

Then plan the rest: delivery for your zone, a calm try-on at home with your wedding shoes and underwear, any adjustments by your own tailor and, if the size is not right, the time for a return and a new order. Ordering two to three months before the wedding leaves room for all of it. Try the dress on carefully and keep the tags and packaging until you are sure — that keeps the return option open.
