    The girls got to choose their style, and all of them have purchased. I just directed on color and length. Smiley winking

    A dusty sage! We wanted a soft color, and we love green! We are having a winter wedding and are hoping the color will be a classic for years to come!

    I am in love with tulip dresses. They're not too long or too short, and have the best ability to re-wear for my bridesmaids. I don't think a long dress is ideal anymore since my whole crew loves to dance. I'm not a fan or short dresses for my bridesmaids so that tea length tulip dress look is where I am leaning towards.

    As far as I know, all my girls are wearing long dresses, but short would be okay too!

    They will look beautiful! Have you found any that you love yet? Will all your girls be wearing the same color?

    I’m somewhat torn. I love blue, not sure if I want a dark royal blue or a dusty blue yet but then I see this beautiful ruby red color and love that as well. I don’t mind if they wear different dresses as long as their the same length and they are matching for being mismatched! I love these dresses in this picture so this is my start of inspiration

    Are you letting all your girls choose their own dress?

    Was supposed to be short, but my MOH is tiny so it looked long. My bridesmaid had a longer dress, but I kicked her out of the wedding day off because of drama she caused

    Yes! I figured that way they could pick something they feel comfortable in

    Yep! As long as it's mint green, they can choose whatever they'd like!

    My bridesmaids wore long dresses. I got married the end of November and our wedding was formal so it went with the theme. in a general sense, I am more in favor of long dresses as they look more elegant. But short dresses can be nice if they suite the theme!

    I decided to choose a color, length, and fabric (so it all actually matches), and they get to choose their dress. They all have very different body types so I wanted them to be comfortable. The color I picked is Biscotti from David's Bridal. The guys will be in blue suits and the flowers will be white with blue thistles and lots of greenery.
