Telling Bridesmaids What To Do -

Fourth Anniversary 100 Love Its 100 Comments Name Dropper
in October 2013 Weddings
I sent a message to my bridesmaids giving them our game plan for the weekend (FI & I), dress code and also to ask them some questions. 

Dress Code - Exact words were "you can wear any shoes you want and any jewelry you want" - they all came back to me and said they would rather I pick something out for them. HA! I have the worst fashion sense out of all five of us - that's why I was deferring to them.

ALL of them plan on coming up on Thursday when he and I come up - and they all plan on getting manis/pedis and also hair and makeup day of. One of them was actually disappointed I haven't been giving her things to do.

Anyone else run into that?

    My maids did the same thing about making me pick shoes or dresses or whatnot.  My goal was for everyone to get a different dress, one they liked, in the same color.  That never happened, they kept putting it back on me to make a decision.  Same with shoes, they all want me to see what they are planning on to approve it.  I said if they fit, they are comfortable for you and they are silver, I'm fine with whatever.  They have floor-length dresses, shoes are not being seen that much!

    I have one that keeps asking about her shoes, if they are okay. What jewelery she should get. How her hair should be. I told her to wear whatever shoes she is comfortable in and just let her know that the guy she is standing with his not much taller than her. I told her to do whatever the heck she wants to do with her hair and let her know what salon I am going to and she asked that I made an apt. for her to be there too. Jewelery I told her to not worry about a necklace, but if she wants a bracelet or earrings, thats on her.

    Honestly, no one has really questioned. I told them early on any shoes (I think I might have said silver or ivory-ish) and hair and makeup any way they choose.  (A few girls are already married, and if they'd like to wear the shoes the wore for their own weddings, that's fine with me.) They are all fine with that.

    Our wedding is really early in the day (10:30) so we really can't even all get our hair done together, cause we'd be starting at about 5 am.  Each girl can do what they'd like, and that will work best for all of us.

    I told my ladies early what dress and that was about it.  Shoes and hair any way they like.  I'm giving them necklaces as gifts so I'm figuring they will all wear that.  If they don't won't hurt my feelings.  LOL

    The only thing I've had with mine was that from the beginning I told them (my best friend, sister and FSIL) that they could pick whatever dress they wanted as long as they all got the same length and were a similar color. Well, I was shopping for dresses when my sister one day when we found one that was absolutely perfect. When I showed it to the other BMs, they asked if they could all match and wear that one dress because they loved it so much! And I was totally fine with that.

    My FSIL has asked if I want their hair a certain way or anything and I said no (I'm giving them the option to use my stylist, but they by no means have to), but when I suggested she wear flats (the whole wedding will be on grass) she stuck firm to wanting heels. So if those heels start digging into the ground day of, that's not my fault! Haha.
