Short dresses for evening wedding?

What do you gals think? I like this Alfred ANgelo dress that is cocktail length. My wedding is at 430 in April and the reception is in the evening. Is this strange? PLease help me! I'm trying to win a debate with my mother and sister who seem to think I'm nuts. Am I??

I would love to see a picture if you could post one...

I PERSONALLY wouldn't wear a short dress, I always dreamed of the big puffy skirt, but this is YOUR wedding and YOUR day. The only one who's opinion I would consider is FH, I would show him 10 photos and ask his opinion, throwing a short skirt dress in the mix but not drawing attention to it.

Think of it this way, all the girls will certainly be talking about your dress!

Well -- what kind of wedding are you having? Casual? Formal?

My friend wore a knee length dress for her Vegas wedding and it was perfect.

Oh oops! I meant for my Bridesmaids! Silly me. My dress is princess cut and GORGEOUS...thats just my opnion :o)

Anyway, here is the bridesmaid dress I'm thinking of. http://www.alfredangelo.com/index.cfm/fuseAction/COLLECTIONS.productDetail/fromAdvancedSearch/0/productID/b332ac82-7b69-43a9-a3dc-0f633ff64e2e/categoryID/772F03C9-DE43-4942-BFA0-DA77E21EBD65

The color would be lettuce. Anyway, let me know what you think of short dress vs. long dress for bridesmaids in an evening wedding.

Thanks!

My BM's are wearing cocktail length dresses and we are having an evening wedding. I wanted to get something they could wear again and I like the way cocktail dresses look.
