Can you please help me with an opinion with dress for the bridal party? My one BM is complaining saying they should all be wearing the same dress and then make my MOH look different with Jewerly and Flowers....or change my MOH dress which I already picked out and like. My mother is driving me insane saying no no no they should not be the same as the MOH this is how it was done yrs ago...My wedding dress is Ivory. I personally do not care but want the pictures to naturally look good. Two of my BM have rather large boobs and picking the BM dress with the straps, I was taking this into consideration!
Any advise on what others are doing will be appreciated!!!

I am a big fan of whatever you want is what it should be. I think taking the people who are wearing the dresses comfortablity factor and cost factor in is important but I don't believe anyone should complain (especially to you) about what it 'should' be.
If you really don't have a vision let them pick out of the ones there, they are all beautiful. I agree that the MOH should stand out a bit.
I'm doing MOH in a black dress, 2 bridesmaids in charcoal grey and 2 in platnium silver. All different dresses 4 older bridesmaids with the same bracelet but MOH a different color.
Good luck and keep us updated with what you decide on

I wanted everyone to be in 526 for mine. I love it. But, if you have a 'larger' wedding party they may not be comfortable in that dress. But Love all of your choices!

Do what you want and what you think will look good. My MOH will be in strapless and the 3 BM will be in either one strap or two (same dress just not sure if I want one strap or two). They will all be in the same color but I wanted my MOH to stand out a little so that is why I'm going strapless for her.

You need to do what you want to do and follow your vision. My girls will all be in the same dress. My MOH is adding some sort of sleeves to heres or something bc she has issues with her arms (I have final say and approval and having her be comfortable is not worth losing a 24 year friendship. This way she does stand out but everyone still matches.
I personally think all 3 are great choices

If I put them all the same as the MOH how could I make the MOH stand out? I am more annoyed because I was in her wedding and didn't say a word. I looked like Barney but hey that is what she wanted!

I've seen different bouquets for the MOH, maybe a little bling for her hair or extra jewelry?
You're nicer then I am especially if I had already been in her wedding and just did what she wanted. I would probably be a little too honest with her in that respect. Sorry you're dealing with this

There are definitely little details you can do to make the MOH stand out if all the girls wear one dress. I'm having all my girls in one dress, do what you like, your opinion is the one that matters most!

If they all want to wear the MOH dress, there are a bunch of ways you can make her stand out. Bigger/different bouquet, different jewelry, different color from the BMs, or I think a blingy belt would make her look awesome!
