    Hi there, my bridesmaids are tall and I'm a short bride. What would look better - long dresses on the bridesmaids or short ones? What have you seen and what do you think? Would appreciate your input!

    I think you will be fine either way. you are the bride and all eyes will be on you :) I would go short! simply because you are having a summer wedding.

    I was the shortest of my entire bridal party too :)

    I'll be the shortest when I do get married lol. I'm only 5'3" and all of my friends are taller than me! I dream of long dresses. I don't think it will matter tbh

    I'm short and my MOH and BM are both tall. (I'm 5'3", they are 5'8"+). But I choose the dress based on the tone of the wedding, not their height. We had an afternoon, outdoor wedding, so a long dress wouldn't make sense.

    I think the tone of the wedding should dictate dress length.

    I was definitely the shortest member of my wedding party.  We did long dresses because we had a formal wedding.  I would go with whatever works for the formality of your wedding, they are still going to be taller, no matter their dress length!

    I don't think it matters! I'm the shortest member of my wedding party too, but that's not how I decided on their dresses! It's an evening, formal wedding so we're going with long dresses. Length of their dresses isn't going to make you look taller unfortunately, although I totally wish it could. ;)

    I agree, I don't think long/short dresses will do much for height. I'm short, as is DH and we had shorter BM dresses because we had an afternoon wedding :).
