I let my bridesmaids choose and they wanted short dresses.

Long, when I first consulted a wedding guru, they told me that it was important to match the style with my dress. I haven't stuck to half of their "rules" but I picked the bridesmaids dresses a while ago.

Short! We are having a barn/ outdoor wedding and I was worried about their comfort. They are lace dresses and still look elegant and they are also dresses that they can wear again!

I chose long dresses in the end. I was so torn because our wedding is formal so I wanted them to have long dresses for the ceremony but didn’t want it to be a hassle for dancing. In the long run the long dresses won out

Short. About knee length. It will be hot and depending on where we go, it may be an outside ceremony.
