We left that decision to the bridal party and my girls requested long dresses.

Short cocktail dresses since it's a summer evening wedding in Vegas.

Long. I much prefer that look. I let my girls choose their own style though 🙂

I haven't seen it yet. I gave her the color and let her pick her own dress, so she would be comfy. Shes not a very dressy type of girl.

Long! I wanted them to be comfortable but I definitely liked the longer flowing look more

We went with short cocktail type dresses. All of my girls are wearing cowboy boots with it, so we wanted to be able to see them. We're getting married at the end of August in WI, so it gets hot there. Plus I wanted them to be able to wear it again. I love their dress! They could easily dress it up or down to fit another occassion.

I am giving my bridesmaids the option to choose their own dress, style and color (within a pallet) but my only requirement was that they be long dresses. That way everyone would feel comfortable with the dress they wear but there would still be some kind of uniformity and I just think long dresses look more formal.

My girls chose long but I was okay with whatever they picked as long as everyone chose the same length.

Long. The short dresses didn’t seem formal enough to go with the men’s tux’s

Tea length! It'll be summer, and my mom was worried about them tripping 😂 But I like the longer look, so tea length it is!
