BM dresses: long or short

Wedding is 3/1/14 and kind of in between winter/spring.   Thoughts on floor length or short dresses for my bridesmaids?

    Long is more formal no matter the season. I would match the formality of your dress or venue or formality of the invitation. ( AM weddings are usually more casual. 5pm and 7pm ceremonies are more formal, most of the time.)
    Good luck.

    Good point.  Ceremony is at 4pm, with evening reception.  I like the idea of more formal but without black tie optional.  Thanks!

    I would go with long being the time of your wedding and it's not quite Spring yet.

    My girls are wearing floor length.  Our ceremony is at 1pm and our reception (errr..cocktail hour) starts at 6pm.  I felt that in March weather can either be cold or comfortable, so long was going to have to work.  The girls LOVE their dresses and I couldn't be more thrilled.....So, I'd say long will keep them "comfortable" with no cold legs.....

    My girls chose short. So I'm hoping it's not too cold. I tried to warn them. LOL

    We are going with long dresses. We have a 6 pm ceremony with a 7 pm reception start time. We are in Northern KY just south of OH so there is no telling what our weather will be like. I wanted long and my bridesmaids were all on board for this suggestion.

    We're doing long.  March 15, 4pm ceremony.  (But our reception is about a block and a half away and we're hoping we can walk from ceremony to reception!)

    My BMs are doing long. Mainly because they don't have good looking legs! Ha!

    I only have 3 girls and I told them that I'm fine with either long or short as long as they agree. They chose short. But it's Ohio....we'll see if they made a wise choice
