bridal party question...

mummy2girls wrote: My matron of honor is marcus's sister and my neice who is 10 is my junior bridesmaid. my SIL backed out because she couldnt say for sure if she would make it backf rom africa by august so she decided to just back out... long story. anyways Tomorrow me and my matron of honor is going for dress shopping. my neice is in prince george so its not like she can come with us tomorrow. Would it look funny if the dress styles were different. As long as they are the same color( black) and same material i think it should be ok... what do you think?

stella6979 replied: I don't think it would look funny at all. My Cousin was married last year and she did the same thing. I think she had a total of 4 bridesmaids and they all had different dresses but the same color. I thought it looked really nice actually.

A&A'smommy replied: nope I have done several wedding where the bridal party wore different styles and I'm doing one on the 8th where the maid of honor is wearing a different color than the bridesmaids.

mckayleesmom replied: Actually I read somewhere that the new IN thing to do was to let the bridal party pick their own dress style but in the same color....So I think it would be fine.

MoonMama replied: When my oldest brother and his wife got married my SIL had all of the girls. maid of honor, jr. bridesmaids, flower girl, etc (their was a total of 7 of us). Anyway she had us all pick out a dress we liked but all in the same color. I turned our really well and everyone had a dress style that was good for them. I was 9 at the time and thought it was so neat!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I agree let them have there own style (as long as you approve) just all be the same color.

Calimama replied: I think it's a great idea. Different bodies look better in different dress styles. It makes sure everyone gets something they feel like flatters THEIR body type.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: yeah it's pretty when they have their own style but same color. very pretty!

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: I am going to agree with everyone else. Especially in your case where you have two people with you and one is a grown woman and the other a child. there is no way you are going to find the same dress for them.

It will look great!

luvmykids replied: I was in a wedding where the colors were black and white....we all got to pick any black dress we wanted as long as it was a certain length. It actually looked really nice and the really great thing was nobody got stuck in a dress they hated.

kimberley replied: i prefer them to be different. majority of time, the bm's have different body types and what flatters one, looks like a tent on another. i think that's fine.

austins mom replied: In most wedding the matron of honors dress is different from the others...But alot of people at work that are getting married are having all the girls dresses are different.

Jessiqe replied: I don't think it would look bad at all! I'm actually getting married next May and all the bridesmaids will be wearing a different style dress, but same color. I think this is becoming more popular, with different dress styles, but same colors. Or I've even heard of the matron of honor wearing a different color and style all together, so then people know who she is.
