Trouble deciding who wears what color for bridesmaids...

First things first....I have two colors and it's causing a problem!!!

Is anyone else having trouble deciding which bridesmaid should wear which color?  I've asked my bridesmaids what color (of the two that I have picked) they would prefer to wear and they tell me whatever I decide.  Trouble is....can't decide.

I've seen it where the MOH wear a different color other than the rest of the bridesmaids.  I like this idea....I just don't know how much I like it.  I've also seen alternating colors for each person.  I like this as well but again don't know how much I like it.  

Can anyone give me suggests?

    If you can't decide between colors then have you tried looking into dresses? This way they have a bit more options and can find a dress that will flatter their body best.

    I personally would prefer for them all to wear the same color, but to each their own.

    Well, there's not really many other options than what you've already said. Everyone wear the same color, alternating colors, MOH wears a different color. That's really about it. If it's stressing you out, just tell them pick a dress in either color and be done with it.

    I picked one color, fabric and length and let my BMs pick whatever dress they wanted (Ann Taylor). There were about 5 to choose from. 

    What are your colors? It might be easier to help if we knew what you were debating between.

    My dress is the one in the middle.  The dresses on the side are the colors, and the pink one is the style of the dress chosen for the girls.

    Both are lovely colors! If it were me, I'd go pink for spring/summer and teal for fall/winter. If you have any redheads, go teal - I have a couple of redhead cousins and they swear off pink like it's cursed.

    ETA: your dress is really pretty btw :)

    I like the teal color better.  As a pale person, the pink color would make me look like a ghost!  Have you thought about having the girls were the teal and then giving them bright pink flowers?  I think that would really pop in photos.

    If I read this correctly though she wants BOTH colors, not just one...and I think both are too bright.. Choose one and do flowers in the other. (I prefer the blue with the pink flowers).

    I love both colors, but I wouldn't alternate them. I think picking one and getting flowers in the other color is a great idea. Poll your girls (I'd brace yourself for some opinions) and see which works best for the majority. If you have pale blonde girls they'd probably prefer the blue, but that color would really wash out pale brunettes. The pink looks bright enough to me to flatter most, but PPs have said otherwise so I may not know what I'm talking about. Good luck!

    Those are both really bright colors.  I'd choose one and then, like PP have said, incorporate the other one with flowers, etc.

    Otherwise it may be really distracting.

    I agree with above, teal dresses with pink flowers will be a great way to incorporate both without it being overwhelming since they are both bright colors. I think teal overall looks better on more skin tones then pink will. And in my case... my fiance HATES seeing pink weddings, he feels like the groom had no say in it.
