AW your Bridesmaid's dresses!

I went back and forth on mine SO many times. From this cornflower blue color, to navy, then to cornflower WITH navy. In hindsight, I wish I'd let the girls pick their dresses, but no one complained. Funny story, I told them to pick their own shoes out in silver. Then changed my mind to navy. All three picked the EXACT same shoes, but one missed the 'navy' memo, so one was silver and two were navy. We figured it out on the way to the rehearsal and had a good laugh about it.

I can't find a picture of mine in our actual color but here's the dress! It's Jordan 534. The girls will be wearing it in charcoal...not purple. I went back and forth a lot on colors too. I was originally thinking burnt orange but changed my mind at the last minute (probably for the best).

I've been talking about BM's dresses to my sister all morning, so perfect thread! I've been thinking about doing midnight blue bridesmaid's dresses such as this , and do tablecloths in the same color, and then do lots of pale colors (blush pink, sage green, ivory) for flower/decor.

@cu97tiger I love that cornflower blue color!

Here are mine. The BMs are wearing the mint and my MOH is wearing the teal.

@hummingbird125 I like how you can alter the neckline of the dress you linked to! Very cute!

@TwoDimes thanks! I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted to do with the dresses since I couldn't get all the same style and color, but I'm glad I did same style/different color.

My wedding colors were Navy and Coral so I chose long navy chiffon dresses for the girls to wear. They chose the style basically. I had the intention to let them chose their own dress as long it was navy and similar fabric. This dress basically suited them all very nicely and we all decided to pick the same one. Their shoes were all beige but different styles and I wore navy shoes as my something blue.

I don't know what my MOH's dress will look like yet - I told her to get anything black and knee-length. I hope she's got something hanging in her closet, and if not, she's got months to turn soemthing up. Love everyone's BMs' dresses!

All I've told my MOH is that I'm pretty open. 
My preferences - Color:  Grey, Brown, Yellow, Orange, or Purple
Knee-Length

If MOH wants a long dress, she can have it and other colors might be ok too.  I'm trying to avoid anything TOO dark because it will be Florida and warm/hot.

My BMs wore black dresses. I didn't care what material or style the dress was. I suggested black, silver, or nude shoes and they all went with black. They also all wanted short which didn't matter much to me at the time, but looking back I kind of wish I had asked them to go with long.

I'd like to play, but I have no wedding party.  Here's my mom's dress.  FMIL hasn't picked one yet.  My mom loves hers.  It kind of goes with my dress b/c it has lace with some beadwork within the lace parts.  It's navy, not black.

@swazzle, why do you want long in retrospect?

my girls are wearing these dresses, and I'm having them do whatever shoes they want.

I don't have a real reason, honestly. I think I just see long more often than short and I just love the look of it.

Oh, we're doing MOB and MOG, too, yay!

My mom and DH's mom both chose the same color. They were so funny about not wanting to 'one-up' each other and both asked me REPEATEDLY if I cared they were wearing the same color. I actually kind of loved it, because all of our family pictures look so put together (my sis and BIL were in the wedding party, and my SFIL also wore the same tux as the wedding party).

The pic with me is my mom. The pic on her own is my MIL.

My BMs wore this exact dress.



MOH wore a dress very similar to this, in this same lavender color.

My BM's are wearing different styles of dresses but all from Dessy, lux chiffon material, floor length, and in rose.

Here's my mama in her dress (the first is one of my favorite pictures from the whole day when she was walking me down the aisle and the 2nd is a better shot of her dress when my parents were announced at the reception):

I've attached a pic of MIL and her BF (with their faces removed JIC).

I gave my BMs a color (Alfred Angelo claret) and they got whatever.  This is a ghetto picture of a picture....

@severmilli12 - I love your BM dresses! That is a beautiful color combination!

ShallowSeas

@bethsmiles thanks!! They came from Target's line of BM dresses for $70! Can't beat that

My Mom and the MILs (stepmom and mom) didn't coordinate with each other. I thought they all looked stunning though. My MIL wore Navy which matched basically the entire wedding lol and my mom wore a tan colored (peuter, can't spell) dress. I absolutely loved it! Here is a picture of her dress:

Can I play? I am a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding next year, and here are the dresses we have to pick from. But I helped her to pick them out . I think I want to go with the first one, depending on how it looks on me.

Here's my goofy Paint collage of the dresses n shoes my BMs wore a couple of years ago...

I had a few shades of blush.  I told the girls a shade of blush and short.  I didn't care what the style was as long as it fit their figure well, how much it cost or the fabric it was made from.  They all wore different nude shoes.  I loved how they all came out together! 

Faces blacked out to protect the guilty!

@GoldenPenguin and @Swazzle:

I'm passing this down to you.  My MOH jokingly sent this to me in a text when I was talking about wedding crap.  It went on for 10 months while planning and she even got me a tee shirt for Christmas!  I was so NOT a bridezilla and therefore the silly cartoon t-rex was even funnier.

I have no formal pics yet from my photographer here is a pic of the bridesmaids dresses hard to see they were Jim Hjelm and blush pink in a crinkle chiffon.  I loved them.

YAY I can join this now with my bridesmaid dress!! 

So my MOH wanted a long flowy dress.  She tried on a couple dresses, one of them had a super low back and I don't know how she would have worn a bra with it and we decided she wouldn't be comfortable in it.  A few of the dresses had all these pieces or tiers that just looked a little out of place on her.  We narrowed it down to 3 dresses - 2 one shoulders (both were similar styles as the one she got, the other one was just chiffon instead of lace) and then a strapless.  Overall I asked if she'd wear any of them again and she said she'd wear the lace one again and felt it was the most 'timeless' .  So we picked it out with a lilac underlay.  The place I was shopping happened to have flowers in orange and yellow we could pair with the colors to see how it would look.

So - Oh Noes - My MOH is wearing a white lace gown - How will anybody know who the bride is??  <<Just Kidding - please sense my snarkiness on this one!!!>>
