Please post pix - Each BM in a different dress - same color
Is anyone doing this???
I'm currently looking at Bill Levkoff - navy, satin, tea-length 1 pc dresses for my BMs...each would pick their own style dress.
Originally I was hoping to find 2pc dresses for added ease and uniformity, but didn't have much luck.
My dilemma with the Bill Levkoff dresses I found is that most of them have some kind of trim that can be done in navy to match the dress...or in another color (white/ivory) as an accent. I'm not sure if it will look too different if I have the white accents on different dresses (i.e. - 1 w/sash, 1 w/bow, 1 w/simple trim).
I really like the idea of them each being a little different, but I don't want them to look silly either.
Anyone have any pictures?
Any thoughts/suggestions?

I am going to do this, but we have not even odered dresses yet... i was going to pick out a designer (with a good choice of styles) and a color... then the girls can go pick out their own dresses..

All my girls are wearing different Levkoff gowns in euro celadon. I don't have any actual pictures of what it looks like because the gowns are not in yet. I can post the gown that they chose though.

Re: Please post pix - Each BM in a different dress - same color
each of the gals in my BP wore a different dress but they were all the exact same color. they really appreciated the freedom of choosing their own dress.

Re: Please post pix - Each BM in a different dress - same color
i'm sorry i dont have pics yet but i did this - i chose the color and designer (alfred angelo - riveira sky) and let the girls select any dress they wanted! It worked out beautifully - the junior bridesmaids all selected empire waist chiffon dresses and the older girls all chose satin with elegant trains!! i love it!!! and my MOH has the seperate set white with handpainted blue flowers and crystal embroidery and blue satin skirt with a train.
They have seperates but they didn't come small enough for my girls - alfred angelo seperates dont come in junior sizes.

Re: Please post pix - Each BM in a different dress - same color
I think it's ok to have different dresses, same color. However I do think the dresses should all be the same length. I just think it will look better in pictures as all of these girls did. Uniformity is always important with pictures.

Mine wore different lengths and dresses, heck one even wore a different color...and I still think that they all looked very much a part of my BP. No one looked like a glorified guest. And they were all comfy. But I've never liked cookie cutter looks anyway...

Re: Please post pix - Each BM in a different dress - same color
I am doing this as well since 4 of my 5 BM's live out of town. I told them the color (David's Bridal's Apple) and told them to each pick their own style as long as it is ankle length. We'll see how it goes! Good Luck!
