Hello Ladies!

Once again I'm a little bit stuck.

For our wedding party we have a total of 4 bridesmaids and 4 groomsmen.

The groomsmen are all set with same tux rentals but for the bridesmaids it seems that all have a different opinion.

One of them wants to do same color but different dresses, another one prefers straps while the others want strapless.

I'm worried if I say the same color but different dresses are okay then someone will come come in a short dress or a dress that is more of a summer dress then an evening dress.

What I was thinking to do is go with them to Davids Bridal and pick out the same material and bottom portion of the dress but they can change the top in the sense of straps or strapless or even one shoulder. What do you all think?

Ideally I would prefer for them to all have the same dress.

    I agree, this is your day and ultimately you have the final say in what they should wear. If you want them to have the same dress, then say so! You're going to be the one looking at these pictures for the rest of your life, not them. It should be exactly how you envision it!

    Its your wedding so your decision. You tell them exactly what you want and they have to do it. I know that might sound rude but dresses for your own wedding is one thing that you have to be really strict about. I had my first bridezilla meltdown on one of my bridesmaids about dresses when she wouldn't stop talking about how she wanted to wear pants instead. So just make it known what you want and they have to go with it.

    I asked my girls if $100 or less was good with them otherwise that’s all I asked them. My Moh is the only local BM so we went to David’s bridal together to try on some that I liked the style on and for her to see the color on her. (She’s a redhead) We picked a dress from Lulu’s (everyone will be in the same dress) and we have even found 2 of them on Poshmark for cheaper.

    You should just tell them the color and long dress and let them choose the style if you are ok with that.
    I am telling my bridesmaids the color, long dress...and no strapless or spaghetti strap dresses
