Despite my best efforts

I'm going to have almost totally matching BMs. They've bought the same shoes, they both bought similar jewelry, and are getting their dresses hemmed to the same length. It's freaking them out that the dresses are different colors, so they keep texting each other to find out how to be more similar.

SIGH.

Sorry for being a random post whore.

  • Not really sigh worthy, dear!  Unless they're both dressing like the bride of Frankenstein, I wouldn't worry.  Many people expect BMs to look the same anyway!

  • Aw, that's cute :)  And ditto Lauren, can't wait for pictures!

  • Ha I know, but it just really surprised me! I figured they'd be happy to basically wear whatever they want, but it's bothering them not to be told what to wear, lol.

  • Hahaha!  Are you super excited yet?

    Mine are doing similar stuff--they're lost because I haven't picked out matching shoes/jewelry/hairstyles and keep asking me to.

  • My bridesmaids were the same way. They asked about every detail, and when I said "Whatever you want" they still ran every choice by me. They all had different dresses, which was drama unto itself, and did end up with different everything, but it was really hard for all of them to have that much individual authority.

    Whit, are you taking any time off work at all? You're the workingest person I know.
  • My BMs tried to do that, but I stopped them and in the end only their dresses matched.   It really, really freaked them out I did not care about their shoes or nail polish. 

    You must be getting so excited...






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • Haha mine are doing the same thing! They have matching dresses. Besides that I told them "get whatever shoes, jewelry, and whatever else you want. Just remember you'll be on grass and stilettos may not work out so well." I keep getting facebook messages of links to shoe websites asking me, "how are these?" It's pretty funny because I think they are all talking to each other about it too.

  • Okay, I'm glad you took tomorrow. I honestly think you need two full days, unless you want to have a heart attack.

    And the you get to go on your cruise!!!!111!!!!!!1!!!!

  • Yay Neckie!!! The matchy bms thing is kinda cute, considering you're totally against it.

  • Cute!  I can't wait to see pictures!
  • The whole letting your BMs wear different dresses or wear whatever they want is so relatively new that most BMs just don't understand it or know what to do with it.  I never even considered it as a possibility or option until I started posting here.  My BMs still wore the same dresses, but they did wear their own shoes.

    Anyway, exciting Whit!!  One more day!!

  • I know exactly how you feel! I told my girls, wear whatever you want so long as its brown! Well, they all ended up buying the same dress! Oh well...
  • With only one day left to go, you can sigh about whatever you want!  I imagine I will be a total mess one day out.
