Tea length wedding dress - bridesmaid dress length / style? Confused.

pamelamela82, 7 October, 2012 at 09:46 Posted on Planning 0 30

Hello brides,

I hoping you an help me! I've found a wonderful shorter tea length dress for my wedding next July. Its the Blue by Enzoani - Elkedra.

I have four bridesmaids and I'm a bit up in the air about what length or style their dresses should be? I've tried searching for pictures of brides in tea length dresses with their bridesmaids to no avail.

What do you think, and are there any pictures that you can point me in the direction of?

All help and opinions welcome.

    Doesnt matter what you have. I was in tea length and bridesmaids had dresses to their knees - I matched them through colour not style.

    Try Vivien of Holloway, or 1950s swing dresses on ebay?

    I had a tea length dress. I would avoid floor length BM dresses but other than that it doesn't really matter. I had knee length BM dresses.

    I had my Bms in full length dresses, I can't flash as I am on the iPad but the link to my report is below.

    Its no different to having a bride in a long dress and Bms in shorter dresses which I have seen at many a wedding.

    Please may you post a full length photo of you and your bridesmaids as I have not seen a photo of tea length bride and full length bridesmaids, but it is something which I am seriously considering.

    Many thanks Smiley smile

    Doesn't matter, I had a short sixties style so bridesmaids had short. I like 50s style or knee length BM's with a tea length dress.

    Hi kharv,

    I love you pic's You look stunning, what fab taste you have! Just a quick question, where did you get your bridesmaid dresses from (if you don't mind me asking?) Where would you recommend looking for a short bridesmaid dress with this feel?

    I though't I'd pop back to say thank you for your advice on bridesmaid dresses with a pic. I went for shorter bridesmaid dresses in the end and was very lucky to have the hottest day of the year!
