Opinion of BM dresses

After PLENTY of disagreeing, my bm's and I finally agreed on a BM dress. Now the new arguement is between by Maid and Matron. They both want different dresses from the bm's. They will both wear the same dress, but just not the bm dress that we chose. So I wanted to have the BM's use the 'euro wine' color and have the two MOH wear the 'euro red' color. But they want an entirely different dress. I dont see this as being possible because I would want them to have a different top than the bm, but the same skirt to compliment one another. As you can see, not to many skirts are designed like the one below. So what should I do?

ETP - here's the color chart. Colors 3 and 4

Re: Opinion of BM dresses

Exert your diva status & put your foot down. They dont' need to have a different dress just for the sake of being different.

I like the same dress different color idea better anyway, b/c

#1-its not as comon recently
#2-everybody blends better in pictures.

If you don't think thre is another dress that would go well with this one, just have them wear this dress in red.



And then have lady princess tell them that it your day-your way!


ETA: I agree with the other girls , that maybe red & wine might not look so great together, but maybe a different color.

Or just have them all where the same, thing, same color.

Re: Opinion of BM dresses

They WILL have different bouquets, but that's just not good enough for them. For some reason those two want to be 'different'. Can you show me the other bill levkoff dress that has the same skirt. I didnt see it.

ETP - they wont go for strapless. That's where all the fighting began in the first place. I wanted them to wear strapless since I was too, and the adamantly refused. This whole bm dress problem has become quite the nuisance!!

Well when my girls tried this one on they also said they didnt want strapless. They told me it would be VERY easy to add straps to it if we wanted

Thats what I was thinking. It definitly stands out more then the other dress IMO. Esp when they are walking down the isle.

Re: Opinion of BM dresses

Can we switch bm's? I cant begin to tell you the drama that has ensued in one week's time. My sister who is my matron has been bumping heads with me all week regarding the effin dresses. I seriously almost had a breakdown in one of the stores, because every dress I picked, the both of them would shoot me down. Ugh! Sorry for the vent, but I've had no one to talk about it with.

Sooo easy to say yet so hard to do! lol
thats what everyone told me.. but you X amount of girls with all different tastes and body styles. And what looks good on some might look awful on others. I think I have had the worst time with this on these boards. I mean we have been looking for MONTHS before I even looked for my own dress ( b/c I knew this would happen) and now they we finally 'picked' one I have changed my mind at least 3 times about it

Re: Opinion of BM dresses

I'm the MOH in a wedding where we are all wearing the same color, but different dresses by the same designer. They have similar lines, but are different.
