Who is suggesting to their bridesmaids a color and length and then telling them to pick their own?
How afraid are you that the shades will be different? Are you okay with this?
If they are picking their own dresses, what other requirements, if any, do you have?
I have said to pick a navy blue dress, strapless, straps or halter, knee length, cocktail attire. Is there anything else you think I should specify?
For the record, I was totally comfortable with this decision until my MOH said "we should probably get them at the same place"
