Afternoon wedding question

Afternoon wedding question

would you choose a long dress or cocktail length dress for and afternoon wedding for my BM?

Re: Afternoon wedding question

I am having an afternoon wedding and my girls are wearing tea length. But I have been in 2 afternoon weddings and wore long for all three. So go with whichever you prefer.

Re: Afternoon wedding question

Either way I don't think it matters. These days girls are going with cocktail dresses for night weddings. Do whatever makes you happy and what you think looks right for your wedding. I've been a BM in day weddings where I've worn long gorgeous dresses and I've been a BM in a night wedding as well and wore a cocktail length dress.
HTH!!

Cocktail or Tea Length.

Re: Afternoon wedding question

I'm having an afternoon wedding and I am having my girls wear tea-length dresses

Re: Afternoon wedding question

I think either is fine. I might lean towards tea-length though, especially since it will be summer.

Re: Afternoon wedding question

We are having an afternoon wedding and the BMs will be wearing tea length dresses.

Re: Afternoon wedding question

I would personally prefer knee length or tea length. Long is too formal for an afternoon wedding. Once again my personal opinion. If its during the summer? even more of a reason. Ask them and see what they think it would comfortable for them.

Re: Afternoon wedding question

To me it was my wedding so whatever I wanted - I wanted a formal wedding but also wanted daytime. My BMs had long gowns. It's YOUR wedding do whatever YOU want. People throw around 'etiquette' and 'rules' when it's convenient for them, for example, how many of us were virgins when getting married?? My point is, do what you WANT, it's your day, don't let 'rules' or 'etiquette' steer you away from something you really want. Our moms both wore long dresses as well (their choice)

Re: Afternoon wedding question

I had an afternoon wedding and all my BMs wore full length dresses. Think about it....no one really gets married at night and everyone's pictures are done during the day...why would it matter that they wear long or short dresses for the reception?

Re: Afternoon wedding question

whatever you choose. i want tea length for a night wedding.

Re: Afternoon wedding question

cocktail or tea length

Re: Afternoon wedding question

my girls wore full length for my 10am church wedding and they looked great

Re: Afternoon wedding question

im having my BMs wear tea-length, but that's just cause i love the style. it's YOUR wedding, so whatever length you want will be the right one:)

Re: Afternoon wedding question

cocktail

Re: Afternoon wedding question

i like the tea length dresses. I think there good for an afternoon wedding!! And espically it's a summer wedding!

Re: Afternoon wedding question

I had an afternoon wedding at the same RH as you and my whole life I always thought my BMs would wear long dresses but I decided to go with tea length partially because of the time (our church was at 9:30 which was more of a factor than our 1:00 reception) but moreso because of the place...we took pics on the beach and stuff and I felt like tea length fit better w the casually elegant thing that I was going for...

so long story short, I think you should base your decision more about the overall feeling you want to achieve and not so much the time...HTH

Re: Afternoon wedding question

we had a tea length dress- didnt do it cause it was an afternoon wedding though, did it because it was a summer wedding..
