Different style bridesmaid dresses?

I am planning on having my bridesmaids were the same color but in different styles. Is okay for some of them to be long and some to be short or should I have them all wear one or the other?

For my sister's wedding, we ended up with three short and two long, so with her long dress it looked pretty balanced.  I didn't specify a length for my girls, and it looks like its going to be two long and four short, or maybe three and three.

Some people don't like the look, but I think it's fine.  Different lengths look better on different people, just like different necklines and waistlines do.

I personally prefer that they all be the same length, but pp is right that different lengths look better on different people. I've seen weddings were the MOH wears a long dress and the other bm wear shorter ones.

I personally would prefer them to be all one length...but I don't think it looks terrible to have different lengths.

My girls all wore different dresses too. I think it looked great!

They can be mixed.  Often the MOH is different.

  Very Recently I was at a wedding with 5 attendants - The 2 women 38-45 ish were in long dresses with v necks,  more coverage around shoulders, arm holes,  while the bride's younger sister and mid -teen daughters were in   halter top  short flirty  dresses.  Each seemed appropriate to the dignity and age and figure of the wearer.   Very  nice  mix.
