Tea Length Dresses?

So, I think my BM's like a tea length dress the best. Do you think it will look ok with my bridal gown? Do you think they will be cold for a beginning of October wedding? Do you think it is too casual looking? I am so confused!

Does anyone have pics of BM's in tea length dresses with the bride in her gown so I can see how it looks together?

The first pic is my dress:
The second pic is the dress they like (I would get the berry color with a silver ribbon):

Thanks for your help.

I think it would look great and the berry color will be nice for early October. I'm wearing a Maggie gown too, and my BMs will be wearing tea-length dresses. I think the color contrast of the berry with silver ribbon and your white dress wil be beautiful! :o)

I love the look... however, my FSIL ordered regular length dresses and then had us get them altered to tea length... she wanted to save us money by getting an inexpensive dress (which I hate) and in the end wound up costing the same price or more then a cute tea length dress

I think they are very pretty! When I found my BM dresses they were not in style! If I was looking now I would def. choose the tea lenght dress!

I am getting married the same day as you. My BMs are wearing a dress that hits just below the knee. It will be in Steel Blue with spaghetti straps.

Here is a web link that shows a lot of brides with their maids wearing a similar length. Bella Bridesmaid Web site

This is a picture of some ladies in the dress that we selected (from that sight.)

i think the repeat of the side pulling on both dresses make them match lovely - they may be cold in october - but that has to be their call you will be inside most of the day - except for pictures

Thank you so much everyone for your help and advice. After hearing your opinions and seeing the pics you shared, I think I am going to go for it! You girls really made me feel better about the choice my BM's made! Thanks!
