Tanks for bridesmaids, WDYT?

cvl105 · October 2009

Do them or don't? As a bridesmaid, did you like having one or do you prefer to just wear your own non-matching tanks?

kathymarie · October 2009

Hmmm.. they are cute, but if given the chance, I'd rather wear my own. Plus, I would never wear it again. But, it does make for adorable photos, so I'm kinda 50/50 on this. Clearly, I am no help!

I'm with Kathy on that one! If you have time go for it, but don't stress yourself out with omg I have to get these done now too!

cvl105 · October 2009

well I have to go get a tank for myself...so it won't be a pain to get 4 for my girls...and I have to go to AC Moore so I can get the iron ons there....hmmm...to do or not to do.

Ditto Kathy.

I would wear one if given to me. However I don't think the girls in my bridal party would like them, maybe only 2 of the 4 would.

kathymarie · October 2009

however, if a bride gave me one as a bridesmaid, I would wear it with a smile on my face.

cvl105 · October 2009

you girls are not helping! hahaI think they look cute in pics too and I liked wearing it when I was a bm, but I know not all girls feel the same way. I don't want them to have to wear it and just put a smile on for me. Maybe I won't do it...hm

I was thinking about just buying matching sweatsuits in dark purple for my girls, and white for me. It will still look cute in pics, but they aren't stuck with something that says "bridesmaid" on it.... and everyone could use a comfy sweatsuit to lounge in!

cvl105 · October 2009

that's a really cute idea!!! where are you planning on getting the sweatsuits?

Kathy8684 · October 2009

At Victoria's Secret they are 2/$60, but I may just go with the ones I saw at Target $20 for the top/$15 for the bottom, since I already bought them part of their gift

I would not like one as a BM. I don't like to wear tank tops in general, plus I feel that they're a waste of money because you only get to wear them once without looking like a weirdo.

cherylanddan0706 · October 2009

I nixed this idea because of what MBC said, plus I dont even know if most of my girls will be at the hotel lol. So there goes the pic idea for me.

mbcdefg · October 2009

Let me add, ditto Kathy on the comment that I would wear one without complaint if the bride asked me to.

jaimelody · October 2009

I have 3 from previous weddings and I wear them to the gym now. I would LOVE one!

uppereastgirl · October 2009

Not my style at all.

cvl105 · October 2009

ok, i think i've scrapped the idea ladies...thanks for your opinions and honesty. Do you dislike anything that is matchy matchy? Like matching velour jumpsuits or anything?

30may09bride · October 2009

I wouldn't get the tanks bc if they are getting their hair done, the should be in button down's anyways. A week before the wedding, don't waste your time or $$.

0hkgbs · October 2009

I bought the iron-on's from michaels, but I'm running out of time, so I'm prob gonna nix the idea. Got too many other thing to do. I do like the idea of the sweat suits.

cher1980 · October 2009

agree w/ 30may - you dont want a tank if ur getting ur hair done - need button downs anyways - i had the tanks made up for the bach party so some wore them and some didnt...by the time we were all getting our hair done and dressed-there were alot of "omg dont take my pic im in my bra" pics LOLyou'll have plenty of pics w/ the girls in their dresses helping you get dressed...dont worry about it...just do your own outfit

mbcdefg · October 2009

I don't think that matching sweatsuits are a horrible idea, if they're in colors and styles your BMs would wear later on. I'm thinking of getting my BMs zip-up hoodies, but in brands that they like anyway. I saw some cute Roxy hoodies in Marshall's recently that my sister would probably like.Can you tell from my comments in all the BM Gift posts that I love Marshall's? :P

alliecarrie41 · October 2009

they are a bit too much for me.

kewltif · October 2009

I would like it! I'm a cheeseball though and I'm also about anything that makes me not have to think about what I'm going to wear. For my brothers wedding I wore my bachelorette party t-shirt (figured I'd give it another use!) and I even made my sister wear an extra one I had too (she's much too young to attend a bachelorette party). I managed to pull the shirt up over my hair just fine.

tlc11934 · October 2009

I would never wear a tank that said Bridesmaid on it. I also would never wear a Bride tank.

ffbride_0813 · November 2009

I made sweatshirts for my bridesmaids. They say brides entourage on them. They are cheesy but I think its cute. I was looking at my MOHs wedding pics and the one thing we were disappointed in was the atrocious outfits we were wearing when the photog first saw us. So I think this will be a cute alternative.

justkris10 · November 2009

i think they're cute; and I definitely think it depends on your girls, whom YOU know best. My girls absolutely LOVED them and I've seen one bm and the moh wear it again, I mean not out-out obviously but like jaimelody said, to the gym or w/e if you don't feel like doing and are torn bc of that, then no -but if you don't mind doing it, then yes - they're so inexpensive to do and I agree they make for very cute pics the sweatsuits/sweatshirts are a really good idea too, but are obviously going to be much more pricey than a beater/tank
