Not sure what Bridemaid dress to pick????

Holly1981 · January 2010

Really need help. Not sure what bridemaid dress will work with my dress. I purchased alfred angelo sapphire number 803. Will it look ok with a bridesmaid dress with a pick up if my dress doesn't have it? If all my bridemaids pick something different will it be wrong if only one of them has the pick up? My sister really likes the pick up and I'm not sure. All my girls are different sizes so not sure what to pick so they are all comfortable. So indecisive and need to make a decision ASAP wedding July 10!!

Your dress is pretty formal, so I think that BM dresses with pickups would coordinate fine with it.

You really only need to consider the formality of the BM dresses, don't worry about little details like pickups or other design elements. Obviously your BM dresses aren't going to *match* yours.

Why don't you just take your BMs shopping and let them pick their own dresses in a colour of your choice? Take the decision/stress off yourself, AND give your girls the freedom to pick dresses they like. No, it won't be "wrong" if they don't all match either.

Agree with PP... a lot of bride's are picking the colors and letting the girls pick the styles. That way everyone is comfortable. I love the dresses with the pickups and think they would look perfectly fine with your dress. You could even do some BM dresses with and without pickups. Almost anything goes now-a-days.... almost

I also agree. Take them shopping, give them a color and let them choose. If you really hate it say so, but let them take responsibility for it. You have enough on you plate!
