Bridesmaid Dresses: Uniform or Unique?

That's unique. Is your future husband only having a best man?

Yeah, His BM is my brother and my MOH is his sister

I love that idea!

We'll be the same, just because there's only 3 of them. I personally think there's a sweet spot in your number of bridesmaids that allows for unique dresses. Having only a couple bridesmaids that are all in different dresses seems off to me. Having 7+ bridesmaids in unique dresses makes my eyes go all over the place. But 4-6 bridesmaids in their own dresses is really pretty.

Royal blue and silver

All my girls will be wearing the same dress! I spent a ton of time trying to find a dress I loved that fit my vision. My dress is very over the top, and I wanted theirs to be too! I LOVE my girls’ dress! They’re also covered in silver glitter.

I legit respect everyone’s views but over the years the more I see Bridesmaids in the same exact attire, makeup and updo, the stranger it looks to me! I gave my gals a color scheme and told them to find something that makes them feel gorgeous. They can get their makeup and hair done however they want (or opt to do it themselves!). Can’t wait to see them in their own individual styles.. they are all fashion forward so it was an easy decision. I know they’ll look amazing! People get sooooo uptight about this subject! Just relax! No one notices teeny tiny differences (not cares!!!) it’s about you and your partner! Xoxoxo

I hope your girls look great.

I wanted my girls to look like replicas of one another. They all had the same attire, hairstyle, and makeup. The only thing that was different was their shoes which you can't even see because their dresses are long. They all look amazing if I do say so myself.

We’re having our kids as our bridal party so I’ll probably take our daughters shopping at DB and let them pick what they want in our color scheme. As long as they compliment each other I’ll be happy. We have teens and a tween so I really want them to feel apart and feel comfortable and like they’re getting to express themselves too. My first wedding I told them color and knee length A-line and it worked really nicely.

I gave them the color options and let them pick whatever they wanted. My only requirement was that the dress be short because we live in Florida. I wanted them to get something they’d be able to wear again. Maybe to another wedding or something like that.

No one in my bridal party could agree on one dress. and since there was a variety of body types, I felt it best to let the girls choose a dress they felt comfortable in. I ended up going with the same color, juniper for my winter wedding but decided to let my bridesmaids choose their fabrics and styles so everyone feels their best. All my bridesmaids got their dresses from David’s Bridal. It’s wonderful that they have such a great selection to choose from!

I ended up going with unique for mine, in an ombre of teal across my three bridesmaids. I didn't care about the styles or designers they picked, but requested long and chiffon so they all had a unifying factor. It actually came out very pretty!

Together
Having three bridesmaids was rather freeing, as I could keep the ombre order or mix the colors for group shots, and both seemed to look pretty natural. I've been in weddings where we all wore the same exact dress (which was not flattering at all on me) and in weddings where everyone had a set color/designer, but could pick any style they wanted. I hated the former and loved the latter.
