    Cancel. Not every bridesmaid will like or even look good in the same dresses in the same colours. Plus, it's boring IMO.

    Cancel, my girls are wearing gray dresses. I told them to wear what makes them feel amazing. If you feel good, you look good.

    Cancel! At first I want into the mixed dresses, but it really is so much better and accommodating to have a color palette and a variety of styles and colors. I feel like it also helps make sure everyone feels comfortable wearing a dress that makes them feel beautiful!

    To me it doesn't really matter as long as the dresses are the same color, but because I chose the dresses and couldn't find similar dresses that complimented one another all of my bridesmaids have the same dress but my Matron of Honor and Maid of Honor each have different dresses from each other and the bridesmaids as well.

    I've asked my bridesmaids to wear the same color (black), but I want them to be comfortable so I asked them to wear what they want. I would rather it be something they can wear again, then spend money on a traditional bridesmaids dress that they wear once.

    Cancel. I encourage individuality. Since some people are comfortable with a dress design on their body and some people don’t... I want my closest friends to be comfortable.

    I like it uniformed but that’s the OCD in me! Ha ha

    We kept but almost did a mismatch with 2 girls in each of the 3 colors. FH couldn’t get behind not matching and I luckily found a dress that looks fantastic on each girl regardless of their size or body type. They tried another dress style in the same color but said it was itchy and harder to breathe in. Worked out better to have the one dress in one color and each girl looks and more importantly feels amazing in it!

    Not going to have bridesmaids rather enjoy my day than worry about others having dress and hair done.

    Cancel. To a degree....
    As long as they are the same length, I am willing to let them pick out the dress. I want the colour to be the same, but style can be different.

    Same color and material, but different styles as needed as everyone should be able to feel comfortable in their dress and some of my bridesmaids are more modest than others. As long as everyone looks appropriate I’m fine with just having the same colors and material.

    Cancel. Not every dress looks the same on every body type. Plus, personalities differ and I want all of my bridesmaids to feel comfortable.

    I'm neutral on this one. I think matched can be very cute but specifically in my party, I'm allowing them to choose whichever style they want because they're all different builds and I want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable in their dress. As long as it's the same color, I don't mind.

    Nope! The color is sage green. How they do that is up to them

    Cancel we’re going shopping to find coordinating dresses I only have two so they’ll be similar but fit them individually

    Both? We went into the bridesmaid appt with the idea that everyone would pick their own dress (same color) but all 3 loved the same dress!
