Did you let your Moh pick her dress?

Alyssa, on September 18, 2019 at 7:35 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 22

I was wondering, How many brides actually allow your MoH to pick her own dress?

I was debating on if I should just let my fashion forward older sister pick out her own Maid Of Honor dress.

    It depends on the situation. Like mine she lives across the country in FL and I'm in WI. She wants to come with me to pick out my dress so I don't expect her to come another time for hers. So I'm letting her pick out the dress as long as it goes with what length and color I want. It's easier and then sje could wear it again if she wants to.

    I let my girls pick out whatever dress they wanted as long as it was floor length and it came in the exact color I wanted from one designer. My MOH didn't really like any of the chiffon styles and needed to be able to wear a bra, so I let her choose a sequin style in the color I wanted and she looked stunning.

    My two bridesmaids picked out their own dress after I gave them the color options and length. They asked me to go shopping with them for feedback and chose to wear the same style as each other.

    I gave her the opportunity to, but she really wanted my input so we picked it out together. I've already told her I will be borrowing it lol

    I let all my bridesmaids pick their own dresses. I gave them a length and color to stick to and they went with it. I wanted them to be comfortable, and they all have different body types than me, so I didn’t think it fair for me to choose for them.

    It really depends on you and your wants/specifics. I am picking my girls dresses that they will be comfortable in and are in their budget because I am very picky and symmetrical

    Only having a MOH. I said it would be awesome if she wore a dress in one of the wedding palette colors. She found one online that is definitely not a traditional bridesmaid dress because of all the beading and embellishment. She loves it and feels comfortable so that is all that matters. I think it also complements my dress!

    Yes. I just specified color family.

    Then, I stipulated that it had to be affordable, comfortable, re-wearable, and covered up top.

    That was all that I required.

    Congratulations and 🍀‼️

    I didn't have a MOH, just 3 BMs and I let them choose their own dress. I told them to buy whatever long, burgundy dress they wanted.

    Yes, I just picked a color and asked she keep with the same chiffon material as the other girls.

    I picked one dress for all my bridesmaids and MOHs to wear because I loved it so much! It's very over-the-top and would've been hard to match (or coordinate with).

    I had my MOH and 2 bridesmaids collaborate and compromise to find 3 dresses (in the color of my choosing) they all liked and I got final say. It worked out really well for me. My FSiL did this and... her bridesmaids were a little more picky so she had to intervene.

    If you're comfortable letting her pick her own dress, I dont see the harm.

    I think it depends! I am not, only because I have known the style dress I wanted before I even got engaged. If you are on the fence you could always pick together. That way you know it will match your theme for the wedding and she will be able to pick a dress she loves!

    My girls chose their own dresses ...out of specific parameters: same color, length and fabric from
    a specific store. But, they didn’t choose with free reign from anywhere — that would not have resulted in the look I was going for!

    I picked a color, length and fabric from Azazie then let all the girls pick their own dress from there.

    I probably won't even know what my MOH is wearing until the day of! I gave all my BP free reign to choose any mint-green dress
