Bridesmaids Dresses-Opinions

Yipes! I am going crazy over the dresses! I have one maid in England, one in Arizona and one in Virginia. Plus they are all different body types.  Since I am selecting black dresses, I figured it would be easy to tell them to select a black tea length dress of their choosing so they are all different styles, but do I need to have them pick the same fabric so it won't look strange? My dress is silk so should they be in silk? THANKSSSS!!!!

I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever

  • I just specified color and length.

  • they don't need to be in silk, they can be in satin tafetta, chiffon, it's about the dress shape going not as much the fabric, and silk bridesmaid dresses could get super expensive, so it depends on thier budget, the black t legnth of any style is a great way of doing it .
  • If you want them to be in the same fabric, just tell them.  They are big girls, they will figure it out.
  • it doesn't need to be the same fabric... just the same sort of style I would think. like formal or casual or somewhere in the middle. give them an idea of what you are looking for and have them all show pictures to each other and to you of what they find. remember, these are your friends, not just bridesmaids. it doesn't have to be all formal  discussion. once they start showing you pictures of what they find, then you'll be like, "eh... I don't really like that" or "oooh, that's perfect!"
