What is better, having your bridesmaids match with the same style and same color or just same color or what looks better for their dresses ??

    I think it depends on your bridesmaids.
    Like my moh and I spent hours looking at dress options and comparing swatches before we just decided to do the same dress in the same color for everyone. And guess what? They all like the dress and the color. And they are the truly honest type of people who would have told me if they didn’t.
    My friend gave her bridesmaids a color and a set of dress choices to pick from and none of the four of us had the same style.

    I’m doing same designer (seamstress on Etsy) and same material, but different styles and complementary colors!

    It would depend on your party body types. If they're all comfortable with the same style (after trying them on), then go for it. If not, I would say same color but different styles.

    I personally think, because every body is different, and people "shine" when they feel comfortable, that letting the bridesmaids pick the style of dress while all matching in color is ideal. I've also seen where there were 2 bridesmaids dress color options (staggered in their standing position) where each attendant was assigned their color and still chose a style that suits their body type and personal preferences and it looked really nice.


    People who are uncomfortable can be very self conscious. If you let them each have a style they can wear confidently, that level of comfort will help them be more at ease and generally happier...and who doesn't want real smiles in all those pictures? 😁

    We did same color different styles. They all have different body types and I wanted them to be able to pick a dress that flattered them and that they felt confident in.

    We did same color, same fabric, same designer, but different style of dresses. My bridesmaids had very different body types (one had a large chest, one had a flat chest, one was pregnant) and forcing them to all wear the same style of dress would have been a nightmare.

    It depends on which look you and your future spouse prefer. You are the ones who will be looking at the photos for the rest of your lives. Which aesthetic do you like best? Both can be equally beautiful!


    We are doing same fabric, color, length, and designer but differently styles for each person. I’m letting them pick whatever they want within those guidelines so that they’ll be comfortable and will still look cohesive.

    It's all about what you would prefer.

    I told my BP that I just wanted a particular color, and if we could work together to pick a vendor and a fabric, that'd be great.

    Joke's on me, they all chose the same dress. To be very fair, it was one of those "magic dresses" that looks good on pretty much any body type, and provided support, AND was airy enough for summer.

    We are planning on doing same style and same color. But our bridal party has similar body shapes so I don't see it being an issue. I will have my girls in one color and my FW will have her girls in another.

    I prefer same color and let the bridesmaids pick their own dress. My bridesmaids were told where to order their dresses from, the length, color, and fabric. The style was completely up to them.

    To me, same style/same color is too matchy-matchy and challenging because the same style doesn’t look good on every bridesmaid. I love same color, different style (as a bridesmaid I’d prefer this too!).
