I'm wanting all my bridesmaids to wear the same dress (I have 3), how on earth did you other brides/brides to be manage to meet up with them all to discuss and go try dresses on?
I would like us to all go together so I can see what they look like obviously.
Re: How?!
My 5 BMs are in 5 different states and I'm in DC. I let my girls vote on Navy Blue vs. Pink. They picked Navy. Then I had them all email me a general idea of dresses they liked and their price points. I then picked out three dresses that sort of fit the bill from what my BMs sent me. I ordered them from stores that let me return. Tried the dresses on and took pictures then let my BMs pick. Two of my BMs are the exact same size as me, and we are in the middle of the size range, so this worked. Three fell in love with one dress (including the hardest to fit girl), and the other two didn't have any problem with it (although wanted a little sexier), so we went with it. It was above the price point for my FSIL (who is the same size as me) so I just gave her the one I ordered to try and sent back the others.
They provided pics of the dresses they did like and luckily all 3 girls liked the same dress. All look nice in them too so that's the one we went with.
Budget is the first thing you need to talk about before doing anything, then go from there.
