Bridal party question

Our bridal party will consist of two women:  one on each side.  They are  our best friends so what can you do?  It just makes sense for us!  I'm trying to figure out what each will wear.  I think my MOH will wear a simple black dress and carry a small bouquet.  No coloured sashes or anything, just something simple! 

So, what about the best woman?  (Not sure what to call her!)  Should she have a corsage and wear a black dress also?  Something different?  Suggestions please!

  • Black dress would look fine.

    ggmae had a girl on her H's side and she wore a black dress.  It looked great!  Maybe if she's around she'll post a pic.

  • Oh, and she can have whatever flowers you or she would like.  There really aren't 'rules' anymore.

    My girls wore pink, and SIL (who stood on N's side) wore a black dress. She had the same bouquet as my BM, while my MOHs had a different version of the same bouquet. I like how everything tied in together. I believe that Lpstl's husband also had a girl stand on his side. She wore a black dress, and had a bout and a bouquet.

    I would look AWFUL in something like that. I feel like a nice, formal, pant suit would be expensive and hard to come across.
  • Yay, gg!

    I still love how coordinated your WP was.

  • I like the black dress or suit idea. The Limited has really nice black pants and blazers for a decent price.
  • I vote black dress!  My 3 girls are wearing black dresses, also no colored sash or anything.  I'll add a splash of color with their jewelry and flowers--doing those in each girl's favorite color, so one will have pink, one green and one bluish-purple.  Using hydrangeas for the flowers because they come in many colors.

  • We are in a same situation - the "groomswoman" is wearing a black dress (we just asked that it be knee length and beyond that, she could pick whatever she wanted) and will carry a bouquet similar to the bridesmaids.
