  If the bride doesn't care then neither should you.

  You might want to run this by the bride. We can't answer that.. 

  But honestly, if I was the bride and found out that all but ONE (and the non-MOH) chose the same dress, I would ask that one to reconsider and go with what everyone else chose...

  This. Did you make her aware that you'd be the only one in a different style?
  
  I let my four girls choose their own dresses too but I told them if two of them pick the same style it's fine, but if three choose the same style then the all had to wear it.

  [QUOTE]My friend is getting married and she has 5 bridesmaids.  She chose a color and material at J Crew and is letting us choose our style.  Coincidentally, the four other girls chose the same style, while I chose a different one.  Is it OK for me to be the only bridesmaid wearing a different style if I'm not the MOH?<strong> The bride said she doesn't care</strong>, but i'm still not sure...

  OP said that the bride does not care that she will be the only one in a different dress.
  
  Like I said, the bride is the only opinion that matters and if she doesn't care you should either.

  aw, true. I guess that's fair. I guess I just assumed that the bride not caring comment was abuo tthe dresses picked, not the 3-1 split. But if she honestly doesn't care, she doesn't care.

  Yeah, I get what everyone is saying and I too would feel a bit hesitant about being the only one in a different dress but if the bride told me she could care less then I would be keeping the dress that I felt the most comfortable/pretty in.

  I agree with all PP. If I were the bride, I wouldn't like it, but if she doesn't care, then definitely keep the dress you picked.

  It was a fairytale.

  Just had this in my wedding. All the JCrew dresses were the same color, length, and fabric, one BM just chose a different neckline. They looked awesome!
