Comments on: Is it practical to ask those who would be in your bridal party to wear the same color instead of same dresses? http://bridalproguide.com/is-it-practical-to-ask-those-who-would-be-in-your-bridal-party-to-wear-the-same-color-instead-of-same-dresses/577/ Bridal Help for the Big Day Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:38:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Tweety http://bridalproguide.com/is-it-practical-to-ask-those-who-would-be-in-your-bridal-party-to-wear-the-same-color-instead-of-same-dresses/577/comment-page-1/#comment-798 Tweety Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:44:52 +0000 http://bridalproguide.com/is-it-practical-to-ask-those-who-would-be-in-your-bridal-party-to-wear-the-same-color-instead-of-same-dresses/577/#comment-798 That is not only a practical idea, but a great idea. This way, they can buy store bought dresses, and be able to wear them again. As a gift, you can give the girls matching accessories, and that would unify their looks.

I think it is kinda cool to see everyone in a different style of dress but it has to be all the same colors. Everyone is shaped different and one dress may look great on one but horrible the next. some may prefer to wear a long dress, some may prefer short dresses. go to davidsbridal.com if you haven't already. it gives you an idea on mix and match seperates.

The idea of choosing a colour and having the bridesmaids choose a dress that suits them best is an awesome idea. I've seen pics of this, and it looks really great. Well the black is tacky and gross.

Maybe you can just get the same skirt for everyone at a particular place and let them pick their top. Just specify the color and tell them to get it just one color, no patterns.

As for my bridesmaids they were all simply asked to wear blue dresses. It turned out to be a good idea, I got the color that I wanted and they all got to show their own style so nobody got stuck wearing something that they hated. I think that its a good idea to just have them color coordinate and accesorize. It saves you money that you probably can not afford and will make things simpler.

I think it's absolutely ridiculous when people have all strapless dresses (for example) and one woman weigh 120lbs and looks great in it, one who has a huge boobs looks slutty, and one who is top heavy doesn't feel comfortable in it! i think same color is fine, in fact, i dont think it should be any other way, but to fit different size women in the same exact dress...silly!! Goo luck! i think what you have planned is a fantastic idea!

Who wants to spend a lot of money on a bridesmaid dress anyway- there are more important things to splurge on. I say go for it! Honey-it’s anything BUT tacky.

It needs to be something that will distinguish them from anyone else.

It would be very unusual to have black for a wedding, but you could easily do white with black accessories and make sure that "white" really meant white, not cream or whatever. You might need to give a sample piece of material of what you meant by white so that they could match as closely as possible. There's a lot to be said for your idea as it lets each girl choose something to suit herself. There's always a problem with dresses in that no two people are the same shape, and a dress style that suits a busty girl and lets her show off her assets will drive a flat-chested girl to despair because she has no assets to display and can't even hide the fact with a gel bra or whatever because the dress hasn't enough coverage so she ends up with her flat chest on display. Go ahead, but think seriously about white (with black accessories if necessary). You’re just experiencing one aspect of a very common problem.
