    I prefer long dresses, especially for fall, and so does my MOH.

    Long! I feel like the only time a bridesmaid could get away with wearing a short one is if it’s a smaller intimate casual wedding. Long dresses are definitely for a formal event.

    I’ll definitely have my bridesmaids wearing long dresses and it may be chilly on our expected wedding date.

    As of right now if we actually get married in the summer, short bridemaid dresses, but if we change dates/seasons maybe long dresses.

    I'm going long.
    1) March could be cold.
    2) I'm super picky and would want them in matching shoes. This way it doesn't matter.
    3) No heels. My dress length was perfect in flats, so I don't want my bridesmaids towering over me when I'm wearing flats. (I'm only 5'8")

    Definitely Long. It makes any event seem more formal and dressy in my mind.
