Bridesmaids dresses

Do the bridesmaids dresses have to match or can it be as long as they are in long and same color?

    You can do whatever feels right to you 😊 I wanted everyone to match so that’s what we’re doing, but I’ve seen pics of same colour different dress, everyone in completely different dresses, etc.

    Personally, I LOVE the look of mix matched. It can as mixed up as different colors, or it can be the same color but different styles.

    They don’t even have to be the same colour! I say this as both a newly married bride who mixed it up and as a graphic designer who works with colour daily Smiley winking I gave each my girls a colour in the palette that I knew would suit them and asked them to buy any dress at all that they wanted! I actually only saw one of their dresses in person before the big day and I love how it turned out. Most importantly, they all got to choose something that felt like them and spend whatever they were comfortable with, and I never had to worry once Smiley smile

    That's a bit of a different situation. For accessories, if you want them to look a specific way I would let them know right away so they don't go out and purchase these with their own money only to be told they are not allowed to wear it.

    I have told my bridal party that I don't care for the hairstyle and make up they choose and I am buying their earrings to wear that I would personally like them to wear. I also told them they don't need hair accessories because it is not necessary for them.

    Overall I would tell them what you expect from them in terms of hair and accessories. It is your wedding so if you want them to have the same dress in the same color with a specific hair style that does not include accessories, you are allowed to tell them that. They gotta remember that it is your wedding, so what you essentially decide, is what they gotta do. And if they don't like that they shouldn't of agreed to be apart of the wedding party.

    It can be anything you want! It's your day so whatever you want for your big day 😊
    If something seems to much I would express your feelings about it

    Totally up to you. Some go for the mixed colors and different styles, different color but same style and vice versa.

    For my wedding, since I only have 2 in my wedding party I am going for the same color, and different style. Their bodies are like polar opposites of each other and I don't want to make one uncomfortable based on the style of dresses.

    Nowadays there's no rules for bridesmaid dresses! I had mine all the same colour, length and similar styles. My friend is having all different colours and different styles! It's all about what you want!
