The length, as proper description will be about 4 feet long starting from the point where it is attached to the dress, as maximum 1 meter from the waist line. Now if it is to have a mermaid wedding dress type for instance for sure that the train will be the extended bottom part of the skirt, so its length will be considerable different than for a dress with the train attached to the waist part, at the back. The same thing happens with the train that is in fact combined with the veil. For a Spanish type one, one that simply covers the head and it is long, passing over the waist line some bride prefer to make it even longer, as a sort of extension to this and with the diameter and length of the chapel train style.

Hence the wedding dress pattern should be the number one aspect to give the reference towards the decision to add or not a train and mostly the chapel length one. It could be uncomfortable for the bride to move in a dress that is tight and moreover when the back side is so long and needs to be carried. Imagine on the dance floor, at the reception party, you have to carry the train on your arms, as the others around not to step on it. And to do this it will mean to hang up the skirt on your arms. Difficult indeed.
As a conclusion, the best idea is about having a detached train. If it is not the case to be attached from the waist line as this may be the empire or dropped one, then forget about this aspect as you just make things more complicated.
