Bridesmaids Dresses/Colors
I am really in love with this color for my bridesmaids' dresses:
This part of the Vera Wang collection. It's actually meant to be a wedding dress, not a bridesmaid dress. I would sooo wear it if I could. My mom would frown soo disapprovingly if I didnt wear the traditional white/ivory, I think.
Really love the deep burgundy/purple bouquet she's holding in her hand.
I'm a little worried that I'm not giving my girls enough flexibility because I'm being so specific about the color of the dress. It's a real challenge to find this exact color/fabric. If anyone knows of any sources where we can get a hold of dresses of various designs in this color, please share!
I told the girls that they can choose any style as long as it is this color. I will be surprised if they don't end up wanting to END during this whole process.
What are your thoughts on identical vs different dresses for the bridesmaids? If you are planning a wedding, what did you choose and why? And if you're a bridesmaid, what would be your preference and why? I like the different dress thing because I feel like it will give everyone more freedom to choose the cut/style best suited for their body-type.

i think different dresses are better but the same color is good

i'd say same dresses, definitely. creates continuity, which looks so much better in pics. u want 2 grab the focus of the viewer in the pics. it'll b like "oh, look at that color!" not look at their dresses. your dress is the only one people should notice! congrats bride!

Another option, if the color is getting stressful, is to offer up a color palette. For three different (but carefully chosen) shades of blue, or one blue, one green, one purple.
But I've never been a fan of the whole matching bridesmaids dress thing. I don't get it, really.
