    Cancel. My 3 girls have such different body types that it didn't make sense to try to find something that looked good on all of them. My only requests were that they were the same color and roughly the same length. They consistently asked my opinions on the dresses they were trying on and I told them I don't care what the style is, as long as they're about the same length, as long as they're all comfortable. They have to wear these dresses all day! And for the money they cost, I'd hope they could wear them for another occasion as well!

    Cancel. I Have a Man of Honor and one Bridesmaid. So I only need one dress. I went so nontraditional with my wedding party so they will not be in matching dresses.

    Haha I said they could do mismatched but 3 of the 4 liked one dress so I said ok that dress it is! Maid of honor was one of them so we added a belt to hers!

    Cancel, different people feel more comfortable in different styles of dresses and I want everyone to be comfortable and feel beautiful in their dresses, as long as they are all the same color!

    I’m keeping the tradition... some of the mismatch styles I’ve seen looks tacky. Luckily they all love the dress I picked and it fits all of their curves. 💕

    Keep. I was going to do the same color and different dress styles, but I think I have a dress in mind that could work for everyone. 😁

    Cancel. I personally think it's silly for grown women to wear the same exact thing.

    Cancel. I told my girls to pick whatever dress they want in one of the colors in our color palette. I don't care if it's a $3 sundress from a thrift store or a $300 dress from a bridal shop or anything in between. Whatever fits their body and budget is fine with me. I just want them standing up there with me for my big day.

    Keep! All my bridesmaid have the same dress! I think it looks nicer that way, plus I picked a dress that looks great on everyone!

    Keep! I love the uniformity of weddings. My bridesmaids will have 2 colors to choose from, but the same dress. My maid of honor will be the only different dress.

    Keep. The dresses have to match in my opinion but that doesn’t mean they have to be the same exact dress. I do feel they should be the same fabric and color. But switching up the colors can look very nice.

    Keep but switch it up. I think matching in color is a nice idea but I don't think they need to match in design and style.

    Keeping!!! The only person that will be different is my MOH there are 7 bridesmaids and I just love the uniformity in the pictures besides my dress isn’t white nor ivory so I didn’t want to go to crazy. However they don’t have to wear the same shoes and same hair I’m not a drill sergeant lol

    My bridesmaids are wearing the same dress but my maid of honor is different. My FH groomsmen are wearing the same tuxes and his best man is different.

    I am giving my maid of honor 2 color choices and letting her pick her own and the bridesmaids will have the opposite of her color and they will chose their dresses

    Cancel! As long as it is the color I have picked, the style of the dresses do not have to match!
