Things for my wedding are going to slightly different. One of the major things is that myself and my mother are making my dress as well as the BM dresses. I am a clothing designer and my mother is actually the one who taught me how to sew, so nothing will look homemade.
I was orginally going to just have my BM's pay for the cost of fabri and notiions, but then I realized that a couple of BM's are in crappy financial situations for reasons beyond their control. Therefore, I decided that instead of doing traditional BM gifts that their gift would be their dresses, jewelry and hair accessories. This way the only thing they have to buy is shoes, and those will be black, so they can definitely wear them again.
If you were a BM would you appreciate this?
