    Cancel. My bridesmaids chose a dress style that they liked and they had 2 different colors to choose from.

    Cancel! 2 ladies in each of our three colors but they choose their own style. They liked having a color choice and being able to pick something flattering to their body types. 🙂

    Keep, my MOH is just a different neck line. I do like both ways as long as same material

    Cancel! It's too uniform to have matching dresses. I only have a MOH so she is picking out her own dress, as long as it's one of my 5 colors I don't care what it looks like.

    I was open to anything. But ended up doing all matching colors and the same style for everyone.

    Cancel. I'm not even sure Im actually going to do the whole bridesmaid thing but if I do they can wear whatever in the same color.

    Keep. I like the mismatch look for some weddings. But for mine, everyone is in the same dress and color. MOH has a standout bouquet to note the difference.

    Cancel. As much as it's kind of nice to have that uniform, it's not needed. I was hoping my girls wouldn't wear the exact same dress the ended up picking the same dresses. I gave them the guidelines of I would like it to be this color and with lace. I also only have my MOH and 1 bridesmaid.

    Cancel. I actually really like the mismatched look. It looks so fun. I don’t mind the uniformity, but it’s just not my style.

    We aren’t doing it.. our ‘maids range in age from 16 to 55.. so naturally they all have me their own beautiful styles they get to rock. Same color and fabric dress, nude shoes, and they get to wear whatever jewelry they want! The more “them” the better! Beauty comes in many shapes and forms... we are celebrating it! Plus- it’s all all girl ceremony! FW and I have 2 sisters each and our officiant is a woman. 2 flower girls too! One little dude is our ring bearer and he is adorable ☺️

    I like when things are a little varied and out of compassion for your ladies letting them find a dress that has adjustments that compliment their body type is kind. But i think it’s wise to say... here are your options.
