I can't decide - short or long BM dresses

Help!!! I love all the dresses but just can't seem to decide if they should be long or short. If they are long everyone is wearing the same dress. If I go for the short then they get to pick one of the two.

I think for your season you should go short. I am also having short dresses for my BM. I would choose the short dress on the right hand side. It's more formal for your wedding dress.

ohhhh beautiful! Is your wedding daytime or night time? that might help you decide! Your dress is VERY formal so i might say go long!

I say go long...my wedding is in July and we are doing long gowns...i dont think the season rules apply anymore...I think your gown has a formal feel to it and because your reception is at night you can go with a more formal bm dress regardless of the season, just my opinion of course!

It's not a seasonal thing, necessarily. It can be a daytime/nighttime thing, and since your reception is a Saturday night affair, long would be totally appropriate!!!

I think the long looks really nice next to your dress and it will make the wedding a little more formal looking for photos

the long BM dresses compliment the gown very well.

Re: I can't decide - short or long BM dresses

i would say long only because it's in the evening. they are both gorgeous though.

I think long is more formal. You're wearing a long dress so I think the BM's should too.

Re: I can't decide - short or long BM dresses

i like long bm dresses. bonus - bm's can wear whatever shoes they'd like! with shorter dresses you have to be much more conscious of the shoe choice.

Re: I can't decide - short or long BM dresses

It all depends on what you think for your season..Im getting married injuly so i chose short so that the girls dont sweat too bad lol

Re: I can't decide - short or long BM dresses

I would do long for 2 reasons, one your dress is formal (beautiful!) and you are having a saturday night wedding.

Re: I can't decide - short or long BM dresses

I say short because it is spring but maybe you can put your MOH in the long one...as long as the dresses are by the same designer and they are the same material I think that would look great and your MOH will really pop

Re: I can't decide - short or long BM dresses

This is tough because your dress is really formal. Had I not seen your dress I would have said short because it is spring and the weather is warm. But.. with your gown I think that long may be a little nicer. I think they will both look great though!

ETA: Also, I think it is important to give BMs choices especially when it comes to straps vs strapless because some people are uncomfortable with strapless. I think you should go short because it looks nice, it is in season and it will give your BMs some choice.
