BM dress question.. HELP!

BM dress question.. HELP!

Im soooooo confused. I really don't care too much what my girls wear. I mean as long as it matches well with the theme and my dress. Im so lost now. I have a bouquet in my mind that I REALLY want. It's on the cover of Modern Bride New York. My whole autumn theme was based on this bouquet. Now I have no clue what color to my girls to wear.. and style is beyond me.

I have a sort of Jr. Bridesmaid. She's my sister and is only going to be 14 when the wedding happens. She's a size 2 now. I want something that will fit her without making it 'different'. My MOH is 5 foot 8. My other bridesmaid is shorter than all of us (my FSIL) but I think she's heavier bustwise. So i need something for All bust sizes.. Near nothing to properly endowed (i think she's a C) and appropriate for my dress. And a color to match my bouquet.

Im going nuts because I hear you should take dress color and photos with you when deciding your bouquets.. I have no CLUE!!

OH AND!!! One is chinese, one is african american and one is hispanic. All in different states too! going nuts I am!!


I'll take any suggestions!

Just incase you don't have the magzine in front of you.. here's the coverpage.. it has the bouquet I want. If you do have the mag.. there's a better pic on page 187. Top left.

hi xelindrya
hm i can't really help with specific BM dresses (as i have no bridal party myself) ... but sounds like you should go with a classic cut for all these diff body types. I was in a BP this year and we all wore a dress by Siri that was bateau neck, and A-line cut and EVERYONE from the busty (me) to the really short kind of pudgy girl looked great in it!! let me see if i can find it on their site... brb

For color, you can never go wrong with red tones. Especially with that bo-k, which is gorgeous, by the way. Have you thought of getting a swatch of material in the color you want, sending a swatch to each of them, and allowing them to get a dress (within whatever parameters you set) in that exact color? I'm going to have a similar problem, especially since my MOH is in TX.

DARN they only have a photo of the back of the dress (We had the duppioni in a periwinkle blue, there must be some fall colors though)

#9750 V Back Princess Gown
Duppioni
Also available in Satin

Re: BM dress question.. HELP!

you can pick a designer and a color and let them pick their own styles. what about a champagne colored dress or a subtle burnt orange color (it sounds weird but i've seen this at a fall wedding and it looked so pretty).

or what about a 2 pc dress for them? you can pick the color and let them pick their tops.

what about something like this?

Re: BM dress question.. HELP!

i like the color of this top- i think they call it copper

Re: BM dress question.. HELP!

I like that one with the little roses on top...
Trying to stay away from strapless because of my little sister..

I THOUGHT I liked cinnamon as a color.. nice warm tone that fits all skin types.. but ONLY Davids Bridal has it. with only 8 dresses. Kind of sad..

I like Buttercup as a color too.. or tangerine.
What do you think? and I LOVE that copper color!!! but do you think it would match the bo-k?

Thanks for ALLL your help you guys are the GREATEST!

Re: BM dress question.. HELP!

What do you guys think.. that dress in it's original color with the bo-k?

Re: BM dress question.. HELP!

I was gonna post that one, too, but posted the other one instead. Love the colors they have...and I think they're fairly reasonably priced.

ETA: I think the Sunset Gold will go perfectly with the bo-k.
