Thanks girls!
I actually wanted maxi dresses but I like the midi. I haven't even decided on how many bridesmaids yet (I want 5 but have only asked 2 so far). The 2 bridesmaids I currently have both prefer maxi as they don't like their legs.
If I have 5 bridesmaids I really would like them matching but they all have such different body shapes and heights that I think it would be hell to find one dress that fits all, so I'm open to having different dresses.
Now we are having a bit of a nightmare with the bridal party anyway - Nick can't cut his list down from 5 ushers and a best man. We both feel its too many but they're all such good friends and family. What do we do?! Would it look like a circus if he had them all and I had 5 bridesmaids? The costs would be insane too
