When you went dress shopping, did you go with all your BM's, with some or them, or with none? I have no idea where to start!!!
Do they all have to approve of the dress before you decide on it?

Re: BM Question.....
i plan on hitting a few shops with just my moh and matron of honor first.. this way i dont have to worry about trying to get 6 girls together every time...then when we get it narrowed down to like 4 or 5 dresses (or less even ) i will have the rest of the girls come look at them so they can choose from my top picks. I just feel like it would be harder to get 6 girls to agree on a dress they ALL like .. so if they have fewer choices they'll all be able to agree on something eventually i'm sure. I think it's important that they like the dress but in the end you get final say!

Re: BM Question.....
Well actually I looked at the different dresses and picked the color & style out totally by myself. I kept the cost and their body types in mind though when choosing. It worked out well for us because it would have been really hard to get all my bm's together at once to do it. And, they all have told me they like what I picked and it was easy because they didn't have to think about it, they just could go get measured and order it on their own time.

Re: BM Question.....
I was lucky - I went with 3 girls and we picked something out. I made one more trip with the other 3 and we were all done.
It was handy not having 6 opinions......but since I had 3 girls with me, I was able to tell how the dress looked on the different body types of girls and pick something that everyone would like.
Just don't do what a friend did to me when I was in her wedding - she brought one girl with her who is 5'1' and 100 pounds to pick the dress. Needless to say, the dress looked very differently on me and the other 3 girls who are 5'6'+ and heavier !!!

Re: BM Question.....
i don't know what exactly is the easiest way, bu this is what i did. i wanted each of them to pick a different dress from the same designer in the same color. so, i took my MOH shopping with me first to scope out the designer. and then i took 3 of 4 bridesmaids shopping for a dress from that designer. i wanted everyone to look different and be happy in their dress.

Re: BM Question.....
I plan on going with my mom and 2 or 3 out of 8 of my BMs. I think it would be easier. I dont when though. Getting everyones schedule in sync is driving me a bit nuts!

Re: BM Question.....
I went to look at BM dresses when I looked at gowns. I also tried some on when I went for FSIL's fitting. I do not want to bring any of the girls until I have 1, 2 or the most, 3 chosen for them to try on. It's a disaster when you ask more than 2 girls to agree on one thing!

Re: BM Question.....
I went with my MOH.. but I had known like 99.9% which dress I wanted..
she tried on about 10-15 dresses and we both decided on the one I loved!
I showed it to the rest of the girls online.. and they all said they liked it.. and I went with each of them to try it on and they all LOVED IT!!!

Re: BM Question.....
i went with 3 of my bridesmaids and told them to look at whatever dresses they wanted, and we all ended up trying to dresses...im not very picky so whatever dress that all the girls seemed to like is fine with me haha

Re: BM Question.....
I think it is best to take 1 or 2 people and narrow down some styles and then take back all of your BM's to see them... JMO

Re: BM Question.....
I dont think you should take your entire bridal party... maybe just three girls of different sizes

Re: BM Question.....
I kinda picked the dress out online and then brought them to see it and get their opinions and they tried it on. Not at the same time though. Its hard to get all of them together in once place so I brought them all at different times.
