Do you think they're ok for a late September wedding? I keep going back and fourth about it. I think they're so cute but I don't know if it's more for a May-August thing.

I really like the look too which is why I'm so torn. I'm thinking maybe I'll take a vote with all the girls and see what they think.

Re: Knee length bridesmaid dresses
its fine! Do what YOU want.
The only thing to keep in mind is: Is it an evening wedding or a daytime wedding. I think that is more of a factor then what time of year.

It's going to be a nighttime wedding. Gowns would probably be better, right?

Re: Knee length bridesmaid dresses
I had knee length BM dresses for my wedding on 9/19 of last year.
the day was a little chilly but the girls were fine. I bought them each ivory colored shawls/pashimas that matched the dresses and they just used those for in between pictures.
see my review to check out pics!!
but i agree--do what YOU want. this wedding reflects you and your taste (oh yeah, and FH's )

There's no such thing as 'probably better' -- there is what you like and what your girls feel comfortable in and that's all! Don't worry about what other people think when you're making your decisions!!!!! It's ok to get feedback and advice, but ultimately you should always do what your gut tells you that you love and enjoy.
My girls are wearing tea-length dresses, and I'm very excited about them (I just wish they'd come in already!!!!). Granted, my wedding is in July, but I like the look and find it a lot more practical. (Honestly, I wish my dress were shorter -- I hate dragging lol)
Do you have styles in mind that you like?

Well everything I've been looking at so far has been long because I was so on the fence about the short dresses so I haven't really found anything yet. I looked on the J Crew bridal site to see what they had and I wasn't in love with anything. I think I'm going to look around and if I really love something I'll see what my girls think. If I don't fall in love with anything then I'll stil to the gowns I picked out.

I am having an evening wedding and im having long dresses.
Honestly? I would not have lemon yellow knee length dresses. But if you WANT knee length, go with a dark color.
But IMHO a long drss is more appropriate for an evening wedding.

I already picked my colors and the girls dresses are going to be deep purple so that wouldn't be an issue.

My girls are in knee length dresses for my mid September wedding. I love them and most importantly- they do as well! That will show in the photos
As for the daytime/night time thing- unless it's an event at the Waldorf Astoria or some type of red carpet Oscar event....short dresses are fine.

Re: Knee length bridesmaid dresses
I think they will look good for a September wedding. I'm getting married in October and although I am mixing the lengths of my dresses some of the girls will have tea length dresses.
