I don't know if my dress and BM dresses "go"

ebbowman5 · October 2010

I have picked out my dress:

And I THOUGHT I wanted these bridesmaid dresses in tangerine:

But I'm worried the style of my dress doesn't match the BM dresses. Any thoughts on this? Or if anyone has any suggestion for a different BM dress please let me know. I'm sold on orange though

Our colors are going to be a variety of oranges/yellows for a May wedding.

I think they look just fine together. The only time it looks off is if the one of the dresses is more formal or informal than the other. This is not the case with those dresses.

I think those 2 dresses go together just fine. But really though, I think your BMs can wear anything. It doesn't necessarily have to match your dress. For my BMs I just chose the color, and let them pick the style that they want.

As long as the bridesmaids' dresses have something that matches, you should be fine. Things have changed since all of the bridesmaids HAD to have the same dress, but some still stick to that tradition.

If you're a little unsure about bridesmaids' dresses that will accompany your dress and look good in the photos, I guess the question is how formal are you looking. If you want more formal, but not floor-length, David's has a few options that are tea-length, or you could find a floor-length with a similar style top than the one you pictured.

Just a thought. What you've picked is beautiful, so if you like it, let it be!!

I think they look fine together. Do you know Davids online has a "dress my wedding" or something like that where you can "dress" your wedding party in the clothes you pick to see them together? Its a pretty cool feature.
