We all decided on the Dress already, but what about hair, shoes, jewelry???
Are you letting everyone do what they want or are you having some kind of uniformity?

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
i picked out the dresses.
they wore any kind of shoe they wanted as long as it was open toe.
they could do their hair whatever. i didnt care about jewelry except for my moh's. but, i did buy my bm's pearl necklaces to wear.
makeup, they did what they wanted.
it all turned out lovely and everyone looked gorgeous!

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
I am letting them do their hair however they want. They all have such different hair I want them to do it however they feel pretty and comfortable.
i am thinking for shoes of just telling them to get a silver sandal of their choice. I figure some might already have a silver shoe and if not it is something they can wear again.
As for jewelry..I might get them something as part of their gift to wear day of, but not sure yet.
I picked the dress. I told them that they can wear any shoes they wanted as long as they were comfortable. We are all wearing light pink high top converse for the reception.

I picked the length, color and designer and let them pick whatever dress they wanted.
Everyone will either have hair up or down, they can decide. The style is not an issue to me so they can match or be different, as long as it is either us or down, or half and half.
Shoes, ehh no opinion on that either. Color is important but other than that, I dont care.
LOL, I am a very controlling bride.

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
I haven't done dresses with the girls yet, but I want a simple black strapless A-line dress. I'm gonna let the girls decide on one, but I do want them to all have the same dress (unless my MOH wants something a little different). As for hair, I do have a style of hair that I like, but I want to make sure that the girls like it too... and for shoes, I'd also like them to have the same shoes, but ones that they can choose and agree on. I like some uniformity (unless my MOH wants a little different)... but I want my girls to feel comfortable and beautiful!! I'm pretty laid back with these things, and I want them to be able to use their dress/shoes again (which is why i chose black!) The 'look' isn't the most important thing to me.. I just want the girls to feel beautiful, because i think that makes a world of difference!

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
I am going to pick the dress, and they will do their hair as they want. Shoes - Im letting them decide (although I know most likely most will get open-toe)
Jewelery - that is going to be my gift to them

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
i am picking their dresses - although i did tell both of them if they don't like the dress i pick they can pick whatever they want in the same color and the same designer. . .i am only having two girls (my BM and MOH) so i dont even care if they have the same dress BUT they both told me they would wear what i picked
they can pick their hair, jewelry shoes etc
only thing is i may not meet my minimum to get a hair and makeup person to come to my house so i begged them to get that done with me if i need it LOL

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
I'm letting them play a big part in choosing the dress. But ultimately it's up to me. I chose the color though. They are completely free to do whatever they want when it comes down to: shoes hair nails makeup jewelry
Its something that NOONE will notice or remember. [honestly it's just not! not trying to sound mean but it's true!!!]

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
I'm picking the dress with input from them...then I want them to wear the same color shoe (I'm thinking a brown dress with gold shoes) in any style. I think I may have them wear a flower in their hair, but I don't care how they wear it, and I'm buying them necklaces that I'd like them to wear...as long as they keep it simple (nothing too crazy) I don't care what they do beyond that.

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
I am going to let the girls choose from a few different dresses. As for the hair and makeup, they can do what they want. I may ask them to get a specific color shoe and let them pick the style. I really want my girls to be comfortable.

Aside of the dresses the only thing I asked it that they have a dyable shoe that match the dress color (champagne)and that the heel not be chunky or wedged. I am also giving them necklaces as part of their gifts. They can wear their hair and make-up anyway they are comfortable with.

I am letting them pick their own shoes (as long as they are the same color) and their hair.

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
I picked 2 dresses and then let them decide.
The shoes are up to them. The dresses are floor length so it's which ever they feel comfortable in, and they suggested doing silver with the burgundy dresses, which I loved and never would have thought of.
The jewelry I just bought last week! YAY!!! I bought the BM all the same necklace and the MatOH and FG's I still need to get.
As far as hair goes, I would love to have it all up like mine will be, but I'm basically letting them decide, but I told them either they wear it all up or the half and half, They all have to do one, the style can different, but it has to be the same.

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
did you guys go dress shopping for the BM or did you pick them out online and have them get measured for them? did you all go together?

I took my entire BP with me. I had a few in mind, just wanted to see it in person and get everyone's opinion. I had a few girls try it on, not everyone and they all loved it.

Re: RE: Bridal Party, What are you.....
The only thing is the dresses. Other than that, they can wear whatever shoes they want, wear their hair and makeup however they'd like.
I figured, you picked these girls because you have a unique relationship with them. Why would you want everyone to look exactly alike?
