I went with the two birds dresses and love them. I am larger than both of the women in my wedding and the dress looked to great on me that I am thinking about ordering it too! Also, I generally do not like long dresses, but loved this one in long and ended up ordering that one. Good luck!

I'm a photographer on Nantucket, and I shoot on the Cape often. 100% of the weddings I do in this area, the bridesmaids wear tea length dresses. I would actually prefer a long dress myself, because even though September here is beautiful, it can get quite chilly. It's great to do a nice bright color, especially if you are right on the beach, to contrast the blue of the water and the pale sand. Colors I'm seeing a lot on the Cape are bright greens and navy blues.

I've seen a lot more maxi style dresses out there...simple, chic, and modern. I know Anthropologie has one now, oddly Victoria's Secret online seems to have a few, and look at Nordstrom online...they have a great selection of dresses.
