Should You Allow Bridesmaids To Choose Their Own Gown?

So you've asked five different women, both family and friends, to stand with you for nuptials.  But they all have different skin color, body types and distinct taste in fashion. 

Should you allow them to choose their own bridesmaid gowns or force them to wear what you've picked out?  We've listed a few ideas you may want to consider:

Cost - Typically if you allow bridesmaids to choose their own gown then you don't have to buy them.  Simply give them a color to stay with and let them choose their own style.

Scope out dresses on your own but give them a choice - You may want to pick out a few styles and colors that you like then let them choose for those.  That will ensure each can dress their own body type but they will all still fit well with your decor and color scheme.

How involved you are in choosing your bridesmaids' gowns is up to you.  However, there is a fine line in pleasing the ladies of your bridal party and getting the look you want for your wedding.  Do you need help?  We're here for you.  Stop by and let's chat about your vision and how we can ensure it's met.
