What are you dictating for your bridesmaids?

Posted in Wedding Attire 74

Are you identifying their jewelry, shoes and hair? Combination of those? Or is it whatever they feel comfortable with?

    We will be shopping to pick out dresses together that's within their budget. I did choose the color of dress and shoes. The jewelry will be a gift to them I recommend nail and make-up color be neutral for pictures that I will be paying for. Hair whatever makes them feel comfortable up or down. Not looking for them to spend bookoo cash but if you accept the offer to be in a wedding usually its going to cost you something.

    I picked the dress. They ended up with the same color and the MOH's is long while the BM's is short. Shoes don't much matter to me. Smiley smile

    Jewelry: No statement pieces, but for the most part they can wear whatever

    Dress: I chose with their approval

    Shoes: Mustard yellow kitten heels or flats

    Hair: Down, maybe slightly tousled waves (I'm having my hair done and they have the option to pay for their own hair if they like)

    SHOW UP ON TIME.

    Yes, I am. We will go shopping and pick a dress they all like, they will all wear the same dress.

    They will all have their hair and make up done the same, but I'm paying for it so I think it's fair.

    Jewelry I don't care.

    Future Mrs. H, if I got a contract like that I'd go out and get knocked up, shave my head, and eat nothing but Ho-Hos out of pure spite.

    I picked the dress and the color, but she looks good in anything so I wasn't worried. Also, I'm paying to have her hair and make-up done. My MUA is in charge of how her hair will look (she said nothing fancier than mine).

    I know, right? I thought the weight and hair thing was ridiculous, but then I kept reading. Who dictates pregnancy to their bridesmaids that way? I know we'd all secretly prefer our bridesmaids to stay not pregnant till after the wedding, but to tell them they aren't allowed seems a bit extreme...

    I just told them to get a semi-casual dress in a medium shade of purple. Since it's a beach wedding, I don't want anything too formal and the guys will be in khakis, white shirts, and probably flip flops. I thought I was making it easy on them but about half haven't been able to find a dress. Whoops. They have a couple months yet...

    We picked the dress together, short and black so they can wear it again.

    then they got annoyed that i DIDNT care about shoes or jewelry and decided among themselves to match jewelry and wear black shoes.

    i gave them the option of getting hair and makeup done for free or doing whatever and for my three girls, one went to her usual salon for hair and make up, one got her makeup done elsewhere, one did hair and makeup with my girls at the venue (plus my step-daughter's mom did her hair). i could not have cared less about any of the details. I just told them to do whatever they were comfortable with and have fun

    So the only things that I am requesting are:

    Stay in the Hotel Friday & Saturday night (exceptions are made for my BM's with kids)

    Dress (length and color)

    Shoes (nude)

    Have fun and enjoy (because I am spoiling them)

    Basically I just want them to get along that day...well everyday but specifically that day. My BM's are my three daughters. Who knew sisters could bicker so much? I am letting them pick the dress and shoes and paying for their hair to be done. My FH bought them all tanzanite earrings that they will get that day as a gift from their step-father.

    I chose the dress (I paid for them), I dictated a shoe color and sent out a ton of options in various price points to help them find ones, I will be gifting necklaces, and I'm dictating that they wear their hair up. I don't care how, but it should be up.

    I chose color of dress. They picked out the official dress/design. I said I would love for us all to do some kind of braids for our hair, but we will see if that is what we end with. They are going to pick out what type of braid, their shoes, their jewelry, their own make up, etc.

    I am letting them enjoy being in a wedding. As long as the color of the dress was right so my theme sticks, then I am happy.

    I just chose the dress. The length of the dress was dictated by the dress code of my Church. Everything else is up to my bridesmaids.

    I picked the dress. The jewelery I bought for their gift. Their shoes they could pick as they are long dresses. Hair I asked them to put it up in whatever way they would like. As the backs of the dresses look good.

    I only have my sister as MOH, so told her to get any dress she wants, as she is nursing and I just want her to be comfortable and happy. I also don't care about her hair, makeup, shoes or anything else. I figure it's just her so no one else to match and honestly, I trust her fashion sense to know that whatever she does, she'll look nice.

    My only request for anyone (in terms of dresses, etc.) was that my niece, the flower girl, wear a yellow dress.

    I gave them the length and fabric/color of dress, they chose the style. I also told them what shoes, which are tall and I feel bad but, they laughed about it and moved on. I just think it'll look best if they all match and I made the mistake of going by the recommendation of the BM that wears super uncomfortable shoes all the time Smiley smile

    I am paying for their hair/makeup but they can do what they want. And I am buying them earrings, but I'd be fine if they didn't want to wear them on that day.
