Bridesmaids Dress and Maid of Honor

So the good news... I said Yes to the dress today! Put in my payment and ordered. So now it's on to finding the bridesmaids dress. I sent all the bridesmaids a picture of the dress I had in mind and they all seemed to agree and like it. I sent it to my sister who is my maid of honor and she does...

So the good news... I said Yes to the dress today! Put in my payment and ordered.

So now it's on to finding the bridesmaids dress. I sent all the bridesmaids a picture of the dress I had in mind and they all seemed to agree and like it.

I sent it to my sister who is my maid of honor and she does not. She think I should have the bridesmaids pick their own dresses but in the color pallete I choose.

I was planning on buying all the dresses for them because I'm the one picking it. I wanted them to all have the same dress and same color.

I'm making all the groomsmen have the same suits and same exact shoes, I don't want the bridesmaids looking different from each other.

Thoughts... should I just let her pick her own dress and have her pay for it herself then. And keep the other bridesmaids dress the same as planned?


Below is the dress and color I have picked out for the bridesmaids.

    Thanks for feedback. I do want them to feel comfortable as well. I'll try to be open on seeing some dresses she likes, but I must approve first.

    I guess I will hold off on purchasing the dresses until they all can go into the store to try it.

    Yes, that was another concern I had if the girls tell me a size to order but it's too small. These dresses tend to run a little smaller than normal.

    I'm not really sure what she wants or what she is looking for. She did send me some pictures and I did not like one at all. I thought it looked like a rag with string tied around the waist. Another one was a little better, but it was one strapped with some weird extra flowing material, not something I would the other bridesmaids wear at all because I know the other girls would think "what the heck is this". She's always had a little bit of a different style than me.

    But this is your wedding. And you are already being reasonably acommodating.

    Thanks! I am trying to be reasonable so I'll give her a chance. We decide we will go look and try on dresses this weekend. So I can show her the dress I like and have her try it on and she can show me the ones she likes.

    That is exactly what I did. Once they found the dress they liked (I told them color, fabric, and where to buy from), they sent me the link to the dress so I could see it myself. Luckily everyone picked dresses I loved. Some even sent me a few to choose from for them. It worked out well for us.

    Glad that worked out. We are supposed to go bridesmaid dress shopping this weekend for her to try on. Hopefully we can come to an agreement on a dress. And hoping it's cute enough so all the bridesmaids like it and can also wear it!

    Update: Thank you all for your feedback and suggestions! I went dress shopping with my MOH (sister) and a bridesmaid today. We found the MOH/bridesmaid dress. Everyone was able to agree on this dress so I put the order in and purchased all of them! YAY!
