This week's wedding planning mission is finding long chiffon bridesmaid dresses. I still can't decide whether to go for matching, mix-and-match in order to give them free rein.
Same cut, different colour? Same colour, different cut? Same same same? The issue is that the bridesmaids come in different shapes and sizes, so putting them all in the same principle seems wrong.
MARRIAGE CEREMONY SOCIAL MANNERS
Plus, I can't help feeling that having to wear the same get-up has a "school uniform" feel about it.
We've all seen our share of bridesmaid dress disasters. Hoisting up, spilling over, general protruding out -- you name it, it happens at weddings in the united states.
No wonder, it's a minefield finding something that works for four different sets of vital statistics.
The list of style and colours is endless. It's definitely a case of too many choices, rather than too little (click here and see spinning program so well).
BRIDESMAID DRESS INSPIRATION
Yes, I know, four seems like quite a large number of bridesmaids… but it's by no means record breaking, many a bride has outfitted far more fair maids.
Another factor is that adding four additional dresses to the wedding budget is a little stressful. Which introduces another issue: is it normal to pay for vintage lace bridesmaid dresses?
A little session on google confirms that no, the accepted convention is for bridesmaids to pay for their own dress. Unless, of course, your finances is somewhat supple.
Yet get rid of the funding, and surely you eliminate some of the power to say what they should wear? Perhaps I will begin by gently "suggesting" a shade and see what are the results...
