Upset about BM dress

Ladies, honest opinions please..... My wedding is in the summer and I thought it would be nice to have BM dresses that fell below the knee and I thought it looked very summery.... Now I was just reading a post and saw that an evening wedding would be best to have a long gown. I didnt even think of that. The ceremony is at 6pm...granted it'll still be light out at 6pm.... but do you think my wedding is going to look 'less formal' now?

My wedding is the day before yours and it's at 6:30 pm and my bm's dreses will be a little below the knee.....it's summer, it's hot, they won't want to wear long dresses IMO

Oh goodness..I hope you arent talking about my post from 09! I didnt say it would be BEST i just preferred the second dress...the rules of long/short gowns and color rules are GONE! You have to pick what you want your girls to be in! It doesnt matter the time of day! if you were in the winter at night i might say ehh go for a long gown...but you are in the summer so tea length is still quite perfect!! In fact tea length/long can be used whenver ou want!!!Smiles hunny, it will be beautiful!!!

Your wedding will be beautiful regardless of the length of the dresses! I have seen tons of tea length dresses that looked formal!! dont worry!

Re: Upset about BM dress

You can do absolutely whatever you want. My sister's wedding was day after Thanksgiving at night, and we had tea length dresses, and no one said anything to us about it. So if we can do tea length in fall, you can def do it in summer!

ITA w/ the idea that there are no rules!!

Have ladies wear what you want - I mean come on some folks where short dresses to things like the Emmy's and Oscars and those are pretty formal events right? LOL.

So I think it's more the atmosphere than the outfit! Your ladies will look excellent!

I don't think it matters. I think that dresses below the knee are fine.

It could have also been my post. I'm sorry if my post made you feel like that. I agree that you should do what you want. I prefer short dresses. And it is summer.

My wedding was a Saturday evening in the end of April and my girls wore t-length. It's your wedding, you get to choose.
