I am getting married the first week of August 2011. Is it ok for my bridesmaids to wear short dresses?
I would like them to be able to re-wear their dress. I am getting married in the evening. Outside but not in a garden - on a patio near a pond. Our reception will be inside at the same venue which is a brand new casino and hotel. My dress is very long with a train and a lot of elegant detailing. Will it look out of place for them to wear short dresses?

Of course you can. Most bridesmaids wear short dresses these days, especially in the summer months.

it depends is your wedding black tie? if so you should pick out a longer dress. but if it isnt then the shorter dress should be fine. you also didnt mention were your getting married, will it be cooler in the evening? maybe you should pick out shawls along with the dress. and CONGRATS :]
They can wear a short dress especially in the summer but I dont think it will be appropriate if your wedding is indoors and very formal. If your dress is elegant and you are getting married in a casino/hotel then they will look out of place like they are part of some other wedding.
they can wear whatever you want them to wear. here is a website to that you can see what it would look like if you had them wear a short dress with your long gown.

Of course, it’s your wedding;’ but, for me with your dress being very elegant and having your wedding in such an upscale place, I would go for long, slender, sheath type, not too full and they can have the hem changed at a later date. Any good seamstress can do and the dress will be wearable for other occasions. Be sure you pick a dress with a nice top, according to color, analyze bridesmaids to see if something strapless or something with some sort of strap or short sleeve would look better when the length of the dress is altered.
IF you wedding is formal
It could be the way you describe your dress
Tea length (between the knew and ankle) could be better
They could wear that length again to a semi formal or formal wedding
If the dress is not to bridesmaid looking, that would be true with a short dress
A dress for a wedding should be at least fingertip length
A pretty cotton dress, off the rack for spring or summer could be prefect for a non formal wedding
They are very appropriate with any style of gown you have. Sounds very lovely to me.
Yes!! =) A lot of outside weddings have that style especially. Enjoy your big day!
