So, I have a bridal party of ten, 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. (including MOH and BM) I have 2 bridesmaids that want to get a shrug with their dresses because they are heavier and didn't want to show their arms. I have the other 3 bridesmaids that love the dresses and dig the sleeveless thing. here are links to the dress and shrug thing.

 both in black. I don't mind the shrugs at all, I think because it will be January it actually may be smart keep the shoulders warm and all. I guess my question is do you think it would look odd of only 2 out of 5 have a shrug or do you think no one will really care/notice? It doesn't bother me, I just don't want to force my bridesmaids that don't want them to wear them.
Thanks!

    I think people will probably notice but I highly doubt anyone will say anything.

    I guess I am just a little worried that the bigger girls will feel kind of outcast because they want to cover their arms... (I don't want to feel like the mean bride who wont make them all wear them so they don't stick out) I don't think anyone will say anything, or really care. Just over thinking.

    I dont think anyone would mind. They may notice but I dont think anyone will think it was bad some are wearing it and some arent.

      PS   That dress will look awesome with the Shrug

    :D I tried to push the other bridesmaids to wear them, but they didn't want to spend the extra money. I thought it would be nice in January, may be cold...

    It's fine. All that matters is that your girls feel beautiful and if that means wearing a shrug for some of them and going sleeveless for others then so be it.

    I really doubt anyone will notice, and if they do, I doubt they'll care.  Matching dresses are becoming more and more rare.  People just don't expect to see everyone match perfectly anymore.

    If you really like them, you could buy them for everyone and give them the option.  They may think they don't want it, but if it's cold, they may decide to wear it for just the ceremony or something.

    they are the ones who want to wear them right? I mean its not like you or anyone else told them they should?

    I doubt they'll feel outcast, or even misplaced. I bet they will feel a lot more comfortable. Don't stress about it too much.

    My bridesmaids (3) all had different dresses.  Nobody said anything to me except how beautiful all three looked and how pretty the dresses were.  I let them pick the dress they were most comfortable in because it would make them more happy and confident.  If the shrug lets these two girls feel more comfortable than they will be happy.  This in turn makes the bride happy because the people around her are happy.  Win-Win

    A thought here- you could have the girls alternate while lining up, the 1st girl has nothing, the 2nd girl has the shrug and so on. It'd look pretty!

    I think people will notice, but it's not a big deal. You could get them for all the girls, then they have the option to wear it if its cold or comfortable. I know my little sister got married in March and there was snow on the ground. I got a different style dress from the BMs and their dresses came with satin wraps and mine didn't. I SOOO wish it had. Because even though I loved my red dress (siggy pic) I wish I had had something that went with the dress that would have cut out the cold some.
