Having watched many brides process up aisles at weddings, I have come to view the most important part of their gown to be, not the bodice, not the train, not the sequins, and not the bustle. The most important part of the gown is the front hem.

If this part of the gown is too low, the bride experiences the stress of that hem tripping her as she walks. This robs her of the regal gait she envisaged. It distracts her from absorption in the delight of her groom. It extinguishes her security in her beauty. The impression she has cherished to portray at her wedding for so long, is compromised by a little, poorly placed piece of cloth.

I would sooner see the hem of the wedding gown a little higher off the floor than a bride in distress due to her gown. This needs to be planned carefully prior to a wedding because, once the wedding begins, there is no adjusting possible and no turning back.
