Help me decide on BM dresses please!! (lots of PIP and a poll)

meagandal · February 2012

Ok long story short I want to be as agreeable as possible and I want all my girls to look good and be comfortable! I have known all along that I want long flowy romantic chiffon gowns. I have decided that I want Bari Jay dresses in Raspberry but I'm stuck when it come to which exact dress or dresses to choose. I am going with a flower somewhere on the dress to keep the look cohesive. The one shoulder with lots of flowers is my MOH's favorite and I think with that one having the most flowers on it it kind helps distinguish her.

My question is do you think a mixture of these dresses will look ok or should I just pick one and make all the girls order that OR do I pick one for my MOH and then one for the rest of the girls to wear.

the long version is the possibel MOH dress:

For refernce here's a picture of a wedding party where the girls are in a variety of dresses mostly thes ones above:

so what do you think?

I personally LOVE the look of girls all having their unique dresses. I think the colour/material will make it all look great together, and this way they can show a bit of their personality too

the pictures end up tiny and each dress looks a little differnt and takes on a wierd fake look when you change the color from its photographed version.

here'sa link to that picture with the real life BMs in the dresses and also a few more:

Voted for MOH getting her dress and everyone else picking. #2 and 4 look pretty similar though so depending on how many choices you need maybe just pick one of those. I think as long as they are all the same material and color it will look beautiful.

I vote #1 or #4. Im in the minority of likening them all in one dress. My girls just picked a dress day that's similar to #1

I am of the belief that all bridesmaids should be in the same dress. My favorite two are #1 and #4. Hope this helps!

I'm in the same frame of mind as BMcleod et al., - I'm having my girls just pick their own dresses but from the same line and in the same colour. This way I don't have to worry about the whole one BM likes this dress but another hates it, this is the dress I like and none of the BMs do, etc. You don't have to worry about distinguishing them by dress, the way the walk done the aisle and when you introduce them at the reception will solve that. If you're really want something to disinguish your MOH, then get her a different bouquet than the BMs, maybe a smaller version of yours.

Hope that helps.

PS. I like all the dresses - love the raspberry colour.

I love the one shoulder dress! My MOH tried it on but they didn't make it in my color. I was pretty bummed about it, but am happy with my dresses now. I've gone to a few weddings where the MOH wears a different style. For me personally, as long as they are in the same color, I like the look of the MOH being a little different. I think it would be ok because they all have the flower on it too.

I can't wait to hear what you decide! Whatever you go with, it'll look great-- all those dresses are so pretty.

I say let MOH have her dress and the girls pick their own dress from the rest. That's what I planned to do but my bm's all wanted the same exact dress so it worked out really well for us. Good luck!

I really like the idea of mixing up the styles but in the same colour, however I'm no so sure about doing that with long dresses. I'm not sure what it is but I don't find it flows as well with longer dresses. The dresses you posted are beautiful but I don't think they necessarily look great together kwim?

I really like #1 and #4

Maybe it's just me but the MOH dress kinda makes the model look bigger than she is... maybe I just need my glasses lol

Thanks for all your responses girls!

We thought the same thing, but I think it definitely depends on the bust to hips ratio on that model even with the extra flower boob action she looks bottom heavy on my (well endowed) MOH it looked fantastic! I wasn't expectign that to be a favorite vut 3 of us all love it now.

I am pretty sure I am going to let her have that dress and then let the girls pick theirs from the rest.

My honest favorite overall is the 3rd dress which horrible in the stock phot compared to real life, but in every other picture I;ve seen it's gorgeous! Of course that is the only style I can't find any store that carries this brand with in 4 hours of me!

I am going to lok in Baltimore when we're there in a couple weeks!

Here's the pic that made me really fall for this dress:

DirtyWater · February 2012

I love that dress. I would buy one in every color. Lol

meagandal · February 2012

I know right? If none of the girls pick it I may buy one for my honeymoon!

krissyblue · February 2012

I went a different way and alternated the girls colors to red and the next one black and so one but its ur day go the way u like it not what others think or want
