Should Bridesmaids Have the Same Hairstyle?

Hey Ladies. So my FH has a huge family and a lot of friends, therefore my Bridal Party will consist of 11 Bridesmaids and 11 Groomsmen. I know its a lot, but 11 is a significant number in our relationship. Any-who, being that I have so many bridesmaids, I had the idea of them all wearing dresses...

Hey Ladies. So my FH has a huge family and a lot of friends, therefore my Bridal Party will consist of 11 Bridesmaids and 11 Groomsmen. I know its a lot, but 11 is a significant number in our relationship. Any-who, being that I have so many bridesmaids, I had the idea of them all wearing dresses that are of course the same color and material, but also have them pick what they are comfortable in, what looks and feels good to them, and whatever is their style. With that being said, being that the dresses will be different, should the hair be uniform? Whats your opinion?

    I didn’t require any particular 💆🏾‍♀️styles. I just asked for no Neon or Wild colors.

    MoH1: Shaped Natural (nice)
    MoH2: Faux Locs (absolutely lovely!)
    BM1: A horrible Wig (her real hair would’ve been much better).
    BM2: Two braids (really nice!)
    🌺🙇‍♀️: High Puff with Ribbon around it (looked amazing!)

    Mrs. Bubba. I'm with you. No neon or wild colors. Colors are fine as long as it looks more natural.

    I agree Heather. 11 is a lot, but so far it hasn't given me a headache yet. We will see.

    I agree Gabrielle. I have natural hair and I wear it curly or straight. Most of them have natural hair as well. Some long and some short. I think about 2 of them wear sew ins and that is fine too and long as its classy.

    I personally don’t like uniform hair styles either. Not everyone has same hair, length, texture or face features. What night look good on you might not work for me. I had all my girls dress differently. I gave them color and they all picked the dress at whatever store they liked and price point they were comfortable with. The materials didn’t even match and I think it looked great. For hair I told them I wanted a braid and curls with whatever they wanted and they all had their own hairstyle done. Everyone picked a different braid and style it how they prefer it. No need to have them all uniform.

    I gave my 9 BM a fabric, color, and length then they picked their own dress. They picked their own shoes & jewelry. They picked their own hair & makeup (I paid for it if they wanted it professionally done). They were much happier getting to be themselves.

    I understand. The bride should definitely stand out.

    No . Their basic appearance, including hair cut, style or color, or make-up, or facial hair like beards and mustaches, tattoos, is nothing you can decide on. Only clothes. And people can wear any personal jewelry, and any religious items. . . .
    If you state a preference, I like the formal look of hair that is up, or the romantic look of curls on the shoulders and back, okay. But you cannot require, or push in any way to do it. People own their identity at all social functions, including weddings. You can only pick outfits of clothing.

    Yoice this is really pretty. This is the idea I have to let everyone chose as long as it stays classy. Thanks for sharing.

    I think that the hairstyle should be different to match the theme of their dresses

    I would give kind of a general idea of what you'd like. For instance ask everyone to wear their hair half up, and just let them do what they want from there.
