I originally was going to let everyone choose thier own, but they all liked the same style except one person. So it would have looked silly in my eyes.
With that being said, I love when brides let their bridesmaids choose because then the bridesmaid can pick something that fits her personality.
Hahaha. Yes you are. I think it was just a weak moment yesterday that made me doubt in the first place. I've always wanted them to pick out their own. I don't know what it was about yesterday that made me question it. It's all good. I'm considering it my bride freak out (even though I didn't freak out but I obsessively planned more) and not letting myself have another one :P
I agree with Sara - I went back and forth myself and finally decided that they would all wear the same dress. We all went one day to the store and I witnessed a mad fashion show and I picked the dress that looked the best on everyone and everyone liked it - besides Meghan but she wouldn't have liked anything I picked out. Anyway- I think the key to bridesmaid dresses is to find something that flatters each person and they feel comfortable in - what better way to make this happen then to let them choose themselves. If I could do it over again, I think I would let them all pick their own dresses - except Meghan :). I love the way pictures turn out with the bridesmaids in different dresses - it shows their personality and shows the chemistry of the group. Everyone looks comfortable and happy. Sometimes in pictures where they are all wearing the same dress - you can see the discomfort and un-flattering-ness (new word).
oh- and by the way- good luck with that whole not letting yourself freak out anymore thing. It will happen again. It's okay though - it's the most important day of your life and you should never settle for less than perfect!!
im a little late on this post, but for lauren's wedding (the only one i was in) lauren, myself (MOH) and one other bridesmaid went to look for a dress together. we picked myself & the other bridesmaid because i am a bit bigger & very pale, and the other one is super skinny & super tan. we decided on a dress that we BOTH looked good in, (color & style) Lauren had the final say, and we tried on about 10 different dresses, but in the end everyone wore the same style, color and we all looked hott if i do say so myself LoL.
it will all work out. i do have to add that i do NOT like the puffy bottom one, and i have seen pics from peoples weddings this summer & those dresses did not look so good. just my opinion.
I think that is my main thing...I just wish I could go shoipping with them. Not that I don't trust them, because I think they all have impeccable taste. It's just the experience that I want. Oh well, gotta do whatcha gotta do. It WILL all work out :)
I wasn't 100% sure on the puffy bottom. I don't even know if any of my girls would like it. It kinda caught my eye but I bet it would look soooooo different on :P
