QOTD! 1-15-13

Today's question is:
When it comes to your bridesmaids, how matchy are you going? Are your girls matching everything from their hair decorations to their shoes,?nothing matching at all? or somewhere in between? How will your MOH stand out or will she be exactly the same as your bridesmaids?

My bridesmaids are wearing the same dress and earrings, everything else is left to them. They are carrying the same flowers also. Did ask that they all wear light gold or neutral shoes( their dresses are gold). My MOH will have different flowers. Not sure if I will do anything else to make her stand out.
I love looking at old wedding oics of bridal parties in matching everything from parasols to their stockings! LOL

QOTD! 1-15-13

My bridesmaids are wearing one dress and my MOH is wearing a different dress - all the same color/designer/fabric. They will all carry the same flowers and wear nude shoes, but I bought them each a different pair of earrings (but all from the same designer) and told them they could wear their hair however they wanted.

QOTD! 1-15-13

I have 6 bridesmaids and they are wearing 2 different dresses (3 and 3). I wanted them to be comfortable with the dress as I have many different body types. I will buy their jewelry but other than that they are free to do their hair how they like and wear whatever shoes.

As for my MOH, I haven't really figured that our yet. I think she will just have a little bit different flowers. Nothing too drastic.

QOTD! 1-15-13

My 3 bridesmaids are wearing the same dress, and my MOH is wearing a different but coordinating dress--same color, fabric, designer, etc. Hair is up to them, and so are shoes and accessories, although I just asked that they keep them black. I haven't finalized my flowers yet, but they'll probably be the same only to make it easier for the florist.

Re: QOTD! 1-15-13

They are all wearing the same dress, but it's convertible, so they can style it whichever way they would like to. I don't care how they do hair or make up. I gave them a swatch for shoe color but they can choose whatever style they want. My MOH will have a larger bouquet. I suggested a broach or hairpiece if she wnated

Re: QOTD! 1-15-13

MY MOH's (i have 2) are wearing the same dress but in a darker color blue then the other bridesmaids, so that is how they will stand out. I will probably have their bouquets be just slightly different then the others too. I have asked them all to wear silver strappy shoes, and I picked out a pair that they can either buy or buy something similar. I am going to request they wear minimal white gold or silver jewelry. I'm personally not into having everyone be so matchy-matchy so I don't mind if they do their hair however they want either, I am just requesting no fancy hair pieces.

My MOH is wearing the same dress as the bridesmaids but in a different color. She will also have a slightly different bouquet. They can wear their hair and makeup however they would like but I did ask that they wear a specific shoe color. I bought them all the same necklace to wear but other than that they can accessorize however they would like.

QOTD! 1-15-13

I told my bridesmaids to pick out a knee-length black dress of their choosing. Two of my BMs are my older sisters and they already joke around about being the 'World's Oldest Bridesmaids' so I didn't want to make them feel weird about going to a salon and fitting into a traditional bridesmaid dress. I'm not sure how I'm going to make my MOH stand out - maybe different flowers?

I'm leaving hair/makeup/and accessories up to them.

I am having my girls wear whatever dress they feel comfortable in from the same designer, same color, and same fabric. They are all different body types so this helps everyone to feel comfortable. I am providing their earrings. They can wear whatever shoes they want as long as they are silver and they can do their hair however they please.

My MOH and BM's are wearing the same hot pink dresses with a light pink sash. The flower girl is wearing the same dress but opposite colors. Flowers for MOH and BM will be the same, going to wrap the stem different for MOH and put a few jewels in her bouquet.
Shoes (any silver), jewelry and hair is up to each lady.

I only have a MOH, so she will stand out no matter what! We picked out a Tiffany blue dress that we both liked, I told her to find any comfy silver heels that she likes. I'm providing her DOJ and she chose to get her hair & make up done by my vendors and she can decide how she wants to wear her hair & make up herself. I want her to feel comfortable & beautiful the day of and not how I'm telling her to look, ya know?

I like the mis-matched bridesmaids look, but it didn't fly with my traditional family. So they are all wearing the same dress and I asked them to get silver shoes. Everything else is up to them. I hope they all look unique, and I'msure they're all going to look stunning.

As for MOH standing out her bouquet will be a little bigger and one extra flower. Havent decided if ill change the dress a little by getting her a seperate sash.

My 5 BMs are wearing the same dress. My MOH is wearing a different style dress (the same designer, color & fabric as BM dresses). I asked them all to wear silver shoes (they do not have to be the same). And they can wear whatever hairstyle and jewelry they like.

I have 6 BMs plus my MOH. Color of the dresses and jewelry is the same for all. MOH will get additional jewelry piece and jeweled belt for her dress. Whatever hair and shoes they are comfortable with, I'm not picky about that.
