Different dresses for BMs

Original post by cherryblossom

Thread views: 967

I would like for my BMs to choose their own dresses. I am thinking of selecting the designer and color, and then my BMs can pick whatever style dress they like for themselves.

The only thing is that I have never seen this done before. Has anyone done this or seen pics of this? Would it look funny if some of my BMs choose tea length dresses and others chose gowns? Or can I pull it off as long as the color is the same?

Thanks for your help girls!

i'm having different dresses for my bms. i picked the color and all i asked was that they be long dresses (bc i know my fsils both love short dresses) and they happily obliged.

I hope this works - here are three of us from my friend's wedding in September - there were 3 other bms in these same styles. It was nice because we all got show a little bit of our personality this way.

Also check out 'two birds' bm dresses - they are SO cool. I would have seriously considered these if they weren't so $$. Actually, a guest wore her two birds dress to the same wedding - its totally re-wearable. GL!



love those dresses. i also would have loved to have gotten 'two birds' bm dresses if they weren't so expensive. i saw them on an episode my 'my fair wedding' and fell in love

I am doing this! Here is a thread I posted a couple months ago asking about opinions. We didnt order them yet but Im still choosing these dresses. I love the look of different dresses. IMO they should be the same length, fabric and color for it to work best but i think it can look awesome(i hope!)

I'm doing different dresses but I selected 4 dresses that are all the same length (for unity), same fabric, and all have a constrasting color sash. I loved the idea of each girl choosing what they like the best, but again, I'd go with the same length for uniformity.

Yeah I told my bridesmaids that they can get their dress from Davids bridal in the red color (I gave them swatches). I wanted floor length but then they have their own reign.

Honestly, I'd still have them all pick the same length. You can definitely go for different style dresses, but I still think they should all be the same length.

Here's a pic from a friend's wedding in July:

OMG... Bridget G? small world!!!

Re: Different dresses for BMs

as a past BM, I'd totally love to pick my own style...
I always had issues with bras, etc...
