Need Opinion on BM dresses

We are getting married in July. I was originally thinking tea-length bridesmaid dresses. I spoke to my mom and FH tonight about it and they thought I should do long dresses. What is everyone else doing?? Thanks for the help

You can do either. im in july too and I was set on doing tea length, there were so many that i loved but many people told me its a saturday night wedding you should do long dresses... and lucky i found dresses that my BM's and I love... so now we are going to do long! i would try on both styles and see which dresses you guys like best.

im in july too..were doing tea length-but were also a day wedding, so i thought it worked all around

i dont think there's anything wrong with longer dresses though if you want those

My wedding is in July and we are doing long dresses, but I'm going with a chiffon material rather than silk.

I wanted tea length, but my BMs are all different heights and sizes, so the pics weren't going to look the way I want it to. We decided to go with long dresses instead.

same as me. i was originally thinking short but i wanted a little more formal. however, you can still be formal with shorter dresses (esp. tea length)

I am in a wedding in June and one in November (but that is a destination wedding)and will be wearing a tea length dress for both... I'm also in a wedding in September and will be wearing a full length gown and the girls in my wedding (October) will be wearing full length. I don't think the time of year really matters... I mean it might be odd in winter months since the girls will be freezing but really you can do whatever you want!!!

I've heard that full length is considered more 'formal', so I guess it depends what your going for.

But then again, rules are meant to be broken!

Hey Date Twin!....I am going with long dresses but I think you should go with whatever length you like. I went with long dresses because it went with the look that I was going for. It is totally up to you.

I'm also going with long b/c of the heights of my BMs.

I battled with this for long vs tea length until I almost drove myself insane. I knew that really wanted to do Chiffon.I finally went to the store where I purchased my dress and put my dress (the sample) next to the BM shorter dress and found that with all the details in my dress, the girls would just not compliment my dress, Plus I decided on a more formal look so I went with long after all. Is really all about the look you want to go for. Good luck!

I'm in July and having long dresses. I dont like the look of short dresses.

I never considered anything but long dresses, but that's because two of my BM's are very self-conscious about their legs. Like others said I really think it depends on the style you're going for - formal v. less formal, etc. although it also depends on the style of dress - i've seen tea length black strapless dresses that were more formal than many full length dresses. maybe show us some pics of what you're considering?

like others said, its your wedding & you should pick what you like best.

however, you can pick an idea & then once your girls start trying them on its really going to depend on what flatters the most people.
