    Keep - sort of. My MOH has an “upgraded” version so she stands out for people to come to her with questions, but otherwise I like matching dresses.

    Keeping. I had a panic attack because 4 of my 5 bridesmaids are large and the dress didn't come small enough for the last girl. Luckily a groomsmen dropped out so we picked a new dress for her and stuck her with the boys. Which worked because my 16 year old niece didn't want to walk with an almost 40 year old man. Now she can walk with a 25 year old girl.

    I think for this one it really just depend on the feel of your wedding and what fits you and the bride!

    Cancel because everyone doesn't look good in the same thing. Although my bridesmaids are wearing black, each dress will be different.

    Cancel. I'm doing mismatched dresses and letting the girls pick from 3-4 different colors. My friends all have different body types, skin tones and etc. I want them to feel comfortable. They are not cartoon characters lol

    I would keep, but I am only having 1 BM. I like the idea of them all matching though.

    I think it depends, I like them both and I like the uniformity in pictures with the GM and BM looking even

    Absolutely keeping this. I'm gonna sound like an attention hog, but it's my wedding day and if everyone has the same dress, it means I stand out.

    Cancel. We're keeping the same color (navy, formal) and different styles for each bridesmaid; the same thing doesn't look good on everyone and they're different body types and heights!

    Cancel. If I had bridesmaids I’d want them to wear what they felt best in. (Just same color)

    They'll have the same dress, but it can be worn different ways. So I guess cancel.

    Cancel? Idk, my maid of honor insists on having her own unique dress, but she expects everyone else in my bridal party to wear the same dress (she's a bit of a bridesmaid-zilla). I think if I do different dresses, they either need to be the same identical color or some kind of pretty gradient.
