Bridesmaids dresses are one area that's seen some major change recently! Couples have been moving away from the uniform look of an army of bridesmaids in the exact same dress (not to mention hairstyle, shoes, and jewelry!), and have been embracing a more flexible approach of dresses in varying colors, materials, and styles! In last year's weddings - 63% of the bridesmaids wore different dresses!

Did you go in a more modern or traditional direction with your bridesmaids' attire?

    Traditional, they all like the dress and sandals I chose.
    I was definitely, open to different styles if they would have been more comfortable. They made it easy by liking everything I liked .

    All of my bridesmaids will wear the exact same color and length, however I gave them a choice of several different dress styles to choose from, all budget friendly.

    Modern. I gave them color cards for our color palette and told them anything floor length that they would wear to the Yule Ball (from Harry Potter) and to have sleeves or a shrug/jacket with sleeves for the ceremony and outdoor pics in winter in New England.

    My maid of honor and matron of honor are wearing one color, their choice of dress
    My 2 bridesmaids are wearing a different color and they ended up choosing the same dress

    Modern! The only request I've made of my bridesmaids and their dresses, is that the color and length be the same.

    So, I meant to be modern, but I went shopping with some of my ladies today... and they all liked the same dress.


    So. Traditional it is!
