    Short cocktail dresses because I want my bridesmaids to be the opposite of me. Of course over the years I’ve gotten trash for that, but as a bride it is our decision!! Also, my wedding is in the summer, so I see short cocktail dresses as very fitting for the season.

    Since our reception is formal, we are going with long.

    I like both. Short if casual and warm weather. Long if formal and cooler weather.

    Short! My wedding is in August. The heat of the summer, so I want my bridesmaids to be comfortable. I also want them to be able to wear the dresses again for other events if they wanted.

    I went with long! We are going for a more formal look, and I thought the long dresses really added to that. I have seen some very pretty short dresses too though. I think it's all about the look you are going for!

    Short bridesmaid dresses because it's a mid-August wedding and it would be too hot to have long ones.

    Ive been very indecisive on their dresses, bouncing back and forth between options. Finally decided on the perfect floor length dresses

    Were doing long dresses, all the same color and I'm letting the bridesmaids pick their own style.

    My crew is mix gender. I've got everything from kilts to jumpsuits to short and long dresses. I want my crew looking fabulous in things that make them look fabulous. Because if they look good, me and my partner will look good.
