Are these maids dresses too informal for my wedding gown?

I have already purchased my wedding gown and it is on order. The link is below, same dress but with black trim instead of the green. My dresses are the same as below except for they are going to be the black and white...you can change the color on the right. I am wondering if the maids dresses are too informal for my dress? Would they stand out as silly in the ceremony? If you have better suggestions, please let me know, thanks.

The maids dresses are going to be black, I just used that pic to show the style. My dress is also going to have black trim down the train and on the front.

1. No! I like them! It'll be great, congradulations!
2. Your wedding dress is beautiful! I think the maid's dresses are so cute and beautiful as well. I don't think they are too informal but only you can make that decision. It is YOUR wedding and if you like it than that is all that really matters.
3. It seems perfect, I love all your dresses, I wish you the best in your wedding. I hope you have a happily ever after
4. Your dress is beautiful and the bridsmaid dresses ar beautiful too good luck
5. I really like that bridesmaid dress and think it goes quite well with yours. If you are looking for a bit more formal though, try some of these (in black of course): http://www.dessy.com/dresses/bridesmaid/2740/ http://www.dessy.com/dresses/bridesmaid/2728/ http://www.dessy.com/dresses/bridesmaid/2053/ http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_bycolor_detail.jsp?stid=2986&sid=15416&cfid=7
6. I love your wedding dress! And I love the bridesmaids dresses, too. But I do think they are a little bit to casual. I like the idea of black. With the length of your train, I think your maids' dresses need to come down at least mid-calf. I love the third one that Jess picked out! It is lovely with silver material and black lace.
7. They are way too casual! Go with something more formal!
8. they are both really really cute! i absolutely love thm:]
9. nah i think that the blue in that grown and the bride's maids dress are cute but if u want to do the black thats cute too and as long as the blue in that grown is black for u then it should look cute together
10. You're a better woman than I am to deal with that train at an out door ceremony. It is a gorgeous dress though. The maids dress is also a great dress, but too informal for your dress (but ironically perfect for an outdoor ceremony, in my opinion). http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=cf86e2de-8924-4cfb-bae0-dc25b3f3fa68&categoryID=772f03c9-de43-4942-bfa0-da77e21ebd65&pg=0 That's the same feel of the one you picked, but more formal and without the graphic.
11. I like the dresses, but they do seem a bit casual compared to your dress. Maybe they could be in something that is either tea length or all the way to the floor, I think that would match your dress better. Something like. http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=b1206d74-6c38-4705-b174-66d83ae96957&categoryID=772f03c9-de43-4942-bfa0-da77e21ebd65&pg=1 orhttp://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=41f4f7c7-6597-4ad3-b5fd-e73ea0ddd695&categoryID=772f03c9-de43-4942-bfa0-da77e21ebd65&pg=3 The dress you picked out is good because it looks like they will be able to wear it again, but it is really casual looking, like a sundress I would buy to wear on a random summer day.
12. I think it fits perfectly. You want the girls to look pretty far off from yours anyways. LOve it. And love your dress. Good luck! :)
13. Your dress is gorgeous! I can see why you may be worried about the bridesmaids being too casual though, I think its the length and the daisys - it makes it look like a summer dress not a bridesmaid dress. Ilove the black and white colour scheme though. I would suggest this as a better BM dress. http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=a1c99ee0-bc6e-42f8-b90b-4c2230ad2daf&categoryID=7c3ca069-092f-49d8-a227-b469d1b1f227&pg=2
14. Yes, they're too informal. Something in a little longer length would be better.
15. Yes with that beautiful dress of yours the maids dresses are a little too informal. I would change them if you could. Something along these lines would be more appropriate. http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=8c6fc959-d9de-4606-8700-ab7f66854563&categoryID=772f03c9-de43-4942-bfa0-da77e21ebd65&pg=1 http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=41f4f7c7-6597-4ad3-b5fd-e73ea0ddd695&categoryID=772f03c9-de43-4942-bfa0-da77e21ebd65&pg=3 http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=1e38f4ef-92eb-4977-8bc5-63867709dc17&categoryID=772f03c9-de43-4942-bfa0-da77e21ebd65&pg=5 http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=8a33adcc-c2c5-4d07-b74a-a708f0c99237&categoryID=772f03c9-de43-4942-bfa0-da77e21ebd65&pg=13 Of course in black and white. I think the daisies and the cut of the dress downplay it too much. Some of the other dresses posted as well would be nice. You can still get tea length dresses or shorter dresses that are more formal.
16. the maids dresses need to be longer - they are a bit too casual for the formalness of your dress. some of the other dresses suggested would be better.
17. It also depends where and when the ceremony is. If it is an outdoor wedding just go for it. If you could get them tea length that would be great too. In the end it is up to you- did you try your gown on and have them stand next to you with theirs on too so you could see in person?
18. Hi and congratulations! BEAUTIFUL gown! Very pretty. And, I like the bridesmaids dresses. However, I do think they are a bit too informal, given how formal your dress is. I love the dress (bridesmaids), but I would look for something a bit more formal. Just my opinion....
