Bridesmaid Dresses- The same or different!?

Cassi, on July 8, 2019 at 11:05 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 85

What is everyone doing for their bridesmaids and maid/matron of honor? Are you putting them all in the same thing or are they all doing something different? What about coordinating but not matching colors?

I personally really wanted my girls to love their dresses (I've never been in a wedding but I have been to quite a few and I have seen some dresses that you can tell the girls didn't like and were not comfortable in). I am a firm believer one size fits all is not a real thing. Certain body types and skin pigments are complimented by certain styles and colors. I wanted my girls to be comfortable and possibly be able to wear the dresses again down the road. I let my girls pick their styles only stipulation was color had to be Navy. It worked out though. I have 5 girls and in total there are 3 different dresses. MOH has one style, 2 girls have another style and the last two have another style. Peak the dresses below Smiley laugh

    Same color/length/fabric, different styles! They each got to choose what style they wanted to wear.

    All of my girls dresses will be in the same. I am very OCD so I knew mismatched dresses would not work for me! All your dresses are beautiful though! This is the dress my girls chose. It is Arden from Azazie and in the emerald green color. My girls chose it because of 1) the slit lol and 2) it has pockets!

    Love that navy color! I love the newer trend of same color but different dress styles that complement each BM’s figure. 👍

    My MOH chose the dress on the left which is a halter. We are going to take off the sash and replace it with tartan ribbon which we will also have on the other girls dresses. I left it up to my other 2 bridesmaids if they want that dress or the dress on the right which is a 'tank' with a mid back, about $100 cheaper.

    I have two co-MOHs with very different body types, so I’m planning to let them pick their own dresses as long as they are the same length and colors coordinate with my wedding colors. My best friend has fallen in love with a full length sequin horn in rose gold, which I feel like means they both need to wear sparkly gowns. I love the navy and I think it works perfectly that you have two and two and your MOH in something with a bit of lace!

    I am having my bridesmaids choose their own dresses! I want them to be comfortable. It's a slippery slope though. I'm in a wedding in October and the bride was letting us choose our own dresses. Me and our friend (we're both MOH) felt the best in the same dress so now all the BMs are wearing the same dress because she thought it'd look weird if two of us had the same dress.

    My girls ranged in age, size, shape, style, etc. in EVERY way you could imagine lol. Plus, two were pregnant, one with twins. I knew from day 1 that trying to put them all in the same dress or even all in the same color would be torture!

    3 wedding colors: David's Bridal Oasis, Horizon and Lapis. We had two in each color. We let them all pick the one they felt best in and it worked out perfectly. Then I just told them to get any long dress in their color. Didn't care if it had sleeves, lace, whatever - as long as it didn't have like...a boatload of sequins or anything (which was not an issue lol). They were happy, everyone got to stay in their budget, and everyone was comfortable. Smiley smile

    All my girls will be wearing the same dress. I like the idea of letting them pick their own dress but thought there may be a few people that would pick something I didn't love... and I wanted their dresses to be over the top and glammed out since my dress (and whole wedding) is. This is the dress all my girls will be wearing! You can't tell in this picture, but the dress has silver glitter all over it as well.

    Yeah i feel you there. Probably should have them both in something sparkly. Sounds beautiful! Yeah it wasn't planned that way at all which is funny it worked out as 2 and 2 and then MOH. Its cool too because hers is the only one shoulder dress which makes her really stand out a little bit. lol

    I understand that. My MOH was actually more concerned about dresses than I was haha. If I had everyone in their own dress and then 2 decided they wanted the same I'd just put a person between them but I can understand how in your instance that would be difficult lol. I honestly didn't think much about it lol

    Oh these are beautiful and all compliment eachother very well. When I first started I really wanted to do mismatch dresses with style and color and choose a pastel theme of colors but seemed that worked better for spring time not a fall wedding lol plus navy is a very easy color for most skin tones thankfully!

    This is absolutely gorgeous! Your girls must all be similar in sizing. That definitely makes it easier!

    I will have them all in the same color, fabric, and length, but will let them choose the style.

    Thank you! Most everyone is the same size.... both of my sister-in-laws had babies pretty recently so they're the only ones wanting to lose weight for the dress. I know they'll look great in it, though, and they have until February to lose the weight they want to lose.
