    I selected a color palette for the girls to choose from since we have so many different skin tones. Also, they get to choose their own dress. I want my bridesmaids to feel comfortable and confident because I want them to enjoy everything and look at the pictures and feel good with how they look. I know that I would choose a dress I feel would look good and accentuate the right curves but there are certain things we as women don’t like to show (ie; I personally hate my arm fat) so I don’t want to choose a dress for them that could unintentionally make them feel uncomfortable. I simply asked that they send me their dress choices for approval but I doubt I would veto any of their selections.

    I gave them a color palette to work with. A since some of my bridesmaids got it heavy in the front I’m giving multiple options as far as style

    It depends on the girls budget and the budget of the wedding. I'd say matching only because of the bride and what she wants and then have the girls pay for that dress . At the end of the day it's the brides say so what she wants is what she should get.

    I'm doing mismatching! I want them to feel good in what they have on and comfortable! I don't want them feeling like I want them to look ugly so I can stand out. I feel like they are there to support your beauty and by doing that, support their body types and what will look best on them.

    I am choosing the color of my bridesmaid dresses and allowing them to choose complimentary styles. My MOH is almost 6 feet tall and my other bridesmaid is 5'1". What will look good on one probably won't look good on the other.

    I'm very neurotic when it comes to symmetry, so my bridesmaids are wearing matching dresses, same style and color. However, I'm giving them total freedom for their hairstyles so they won't look completely identical.

    Mixed matched is more fun and unique. The matching is beautiful as well, but switching it up makes it more fun. #teamlavenderandsilver

    My bridesmaids are matching, and my daughters (and close family) will wear different colors. I did this so my daughters would feel special and stand out and to make the family feel the same! By family I mean the Mother of the groom, and sisters with mine!

    My bridesmaids will all be in the same color dress, but we found a dress on Amazon that allows them to tie the top in up to 72 different style so each bridesmaid will be in a different style. Then my maid of honor will be wearing a different color from bridesmaids to stand out and accent my other coloris!

    My bridesmaids are alternating between two styles. I originally was going to put my two maids of honor in one style and then the rest in another. However, I did a poll with my girls to see what they liked best, and it was split right down the middle, so it worked out perfectly!

    All the dresses are the same color, but all different styles. Each bridesmaid got to pick the dress that she would feel the most comfortable in.

    I'm having my bridesmaids all wear the same color, but letting them choose their own dresses. My colors are purple and silver. The shade I chose for their dresses is Periwinkle with silver shoes. I think it's easier this way because they can pick something they like and feel confident and beautiful in.
