Bridesmaid Dresses

I want my bridesmaids to choose their dress. As long as it's the right color and length. Is that too picky?

    Not too picky at all. Loads of brides dictate the exact dress, so what you're asking for is completely fine.

    This is pretty normal and common. You give them a color and length, but the style (sleeves, neckline, etc.) is up to them so they can choose something that fits their body type and budget.

    Good, that's what I want. My fiance and I are looking at different shades of our colors.

    That’s what I did! My bridesmaids are all over California and one is in Texas. None of us live near each other and I knew it would be hard to try and get us all together for bridesmaid dress shopping. So I went to David’s bridal, looked at the swatch of the color I wanted, and basically let them pick whatever they wanted. My only stipulations were the color obviously, they had to be long and no metallics. (Just because it changes the way the color looks). But they all picked whatever they wanted!

    I want my bridesmaids to wear knee length or tea length (my dress is tea length), because August is usually pretty warm and I want them comfortable.

    That is very relaxed. It’s not picky in the least. Picky would be having a fit if they were different designers or shades or lengths.

    Nope! I picked the jewelry and the dress color and I’m paying for hair and makeup so I told them as long as it’s the right color then they can get whatever dress they want and do their hair and make up however they want. My sister who is my maid of honor even asked me if she could wear a pant suit in the right color and I was like sure I literally don’t care lol
