Bridesmaid Dress problem!

LStein226

I am not sure what to do about my bridal party dresses.  Not realizing I make a mistake, I told my bridesmaid they could pick out their own dresses (they all like out of town).  After one of my bridesmaid chose a dress (that she loves!) and ordered it.   I am not much of a fan of this dress and I didn't say no because she loved it soo much.  Because it is so dramatic, do the rest of my bridesmaid have to order the same dress even though I do not like it, or can they wear something more basic?   I am thinking about telling her to cancel the order and order another dress, but is that rude? I just don't know what to do!!! 

Here is the flower dress..... 

Here is something of basic... ( That I like)

My maid of Honor is wearing this...

Do theese dresses blend together??? I truly do not know what to do!!

If they are all the same color it will be fine.  You let them chose. They have and they chose I assume what is flattering to their body style.

If you told all your bms to pick out knee length, purple dresses, that's what they did. It would be rude to start nitpicking their choices, now. Aside from that, the dresses pictured look fine together. The first dress does not look overly dramatic.

Thank you all! I think I just needed some reassurance......I will not be making any calls!

I agree with PP.  And I think the dresses will look great together.  Lovely color!

it is alright, they are all the same colour and they are almost the same styles. i have seen lots of photos which the bridesmaid wear different dress style but in the same colour and they look great
