What Are You Doing For Bridesmaids Dresses?

My bridesmaids each picked out their own dress style, but they're all long dresses and they're all the same shade of blue. Here's one of the dresses (photo from Azazie).

I let mine choose own gowns and I wasn’t really particular about anything. I just asked that it be kind of in similar light shades of pink but even that I didn’t really care if it was exact as long as it was kind of close enough. i didn't want any of the shades to super clash or one to stand out more than another. What’s funny is in person they actually don’t really look all that close in shades but in photographs it photographed pretty close in shades of color - could be the lighting?

My girls will be wearing the same color (platinum) but different styles. I wanted to make sure they were all comfortable especially having different body types.

View Quoted Comment Oh my gosh, if you didn't say that those were all different colors, I would not have even noticed from the photo! Looking closely at it, I can definitely see that especially the two dress colors on the right are fairly different, but they all look super pretty together!

View Quoted Comment Those are some great styles! I think they'll all look beautiful in the platinum color. Is that color shimmery at all? Or solid? I think I've seen that color both ways.

I love this! I have been having fun putting a bunch of colors and styles together, I am sure that the styles will change, maybe even the colors, but I kinda like it I used google draw because I could not imagine all the dresses or colors together lol.

I found the website Birdy Grey and asked them if they were okay with the styles they had and the price ($99). They all agreed and I created a bridal salon for them all to join. It shows what color I want them to purchase, and I can even let them know what styles I prefer! When someone likes a dress or buys it, it shows so that everyone knows what dress you got in case they don't want to match!

Other than the color, they have free range. It's Dove Gray. Super soft and timeless which I love!

Thanks. I'm just glad they all found something they like. It's solid with like a silky shine to it.

View Quoted Comment Oh wow, beautiful combination of colors and dresses there! So each bridesmaid will wear a different color? Did you choose these colors off of a specific theme?

View Quoted Comment Very pretty color!! I agree, it's timeless and will look beautiful in photos! Are your bridesmaids choosing the length of the dress too? Or are they all doing the same length?

So my bridesmaids just have to order a dress in the same material (chiffon), color (terracotta), and length (long) and they got to pick whatever style they wanted that fit within that criteria on azazie.com here is the dress my sister picked out https://cdn-1.azazie.com/upimg/s600/6e/5b/08a22bcbd17ca87784c33da7d7b56e5b.jpg.webp

View Quoted Comment Love the shine on that color! And it's always nice when everyone finds a dress they like.

I personally love when all bridesmaids are matching! So my bridesmaids will all be in the same dress in the same color!

They'll all be the same length! They prefer longer dresses, but it'll also be January so a short dress would be waaay too cold haha! I told them to pick whatever shoes they want though. No one's going to see them anyways!

I just gave everyone a few colors and they can pick whatever they want. Some have already picked and others are undecided/still trying stuff on.

Very pretty dress! I did a similar routine - I specified the material, color, and length, and told my bridesmaids to each pick something different. They all got to pick whatever dresses they wanted. I think it's the easiest way to keep everyone happy, since everyone has different styles.

View Quoted Comment There is definitely a nice uniformity when everyone's dresses match! Have you picked out the dress yet?

View Quoted Comment Ooh right, I totally forgot your wedding is in January! Definitely long dresses lol, short dresses would be freezing! I agree on the shoes, no one would really see them under long dresses.

View Quoted Comment Very cool! Are you specifying the length too? Or just the colors? What colors did you choose?

Yes, so cold haha! Since they don't have any long sleeved dresses, I'm going to get them cream colored pashminas to wear during the ceremony to help them out a little lol.
