BM Dress Shopping

I'm going BM dress shopping on Saturday with my MOH and 2 BMs.  Do you think I need to go in with ideas/pictures of dresses I like or should we just go in and see what we all like.  I'm worried it might get crazy with 4 opinions.  How did you handle this?

    I had some choices that I really wanted my girls to try on. We also looked around to see if anyone found something else good. Have some sort of game plan but don't stick to it so strictly that your girls can't try on dresses they find spur of the moment.

    I had some choices in mind. We also flipped through a catalogue when I got there. Our attendent also made a suggestion. I think the 2 girls who came with me tried on about 5 dresses. I kept asking if there was anything else they wanted to try on. Thankfully, the dress they both loved was the one I liked the best!

    I went with 4 of my BMs. I went in thnking they were all going to wear whatever style ws best suited to them. We came out with them not liking much of anything, and them deciding that they wanted to match.

    Go with the flow, it will make things easier on you.

    I had the color I wanted and the length and I let them pick whatever style they wanted. Less stress on me and the girls got to pick the style they wanted. Win, win.

    I think it might be nice if you decided on a colour and fabric, and then have each BM choose a style that suits them best.  What Jagore said.

    I went with my MOH and 1 BM.  I knew what general color I wanted, but had an open mind otherwise.  We just went into shops and they tried on whatever caught their eyes.  They ended up really liking the same dress.

    I would go in with an open mind.  I "knew" what dress I wanted my BMs to wear, and we walked out of the shop with a completely different length, style and color because my original choice looked terrible on them.  I love the dress they wore, but I never would have thought of it on my own.  Plus, it's fun to try on all the crazy styles together.  It was my favourite part of wedding planning and needn't be stressful.  Just go with it.  You definitely retain veto power, but see what you find when you arrive.  You might be surprised that you don't like your "vision" anymore.
