As part of my attempt to squelch my inner bitch and be the most easy-going bride ever, I decided to kind of let my bridesmaids have a big say in their dresses.
This was a mistake.
Not because they have bad taste, or they wanted to do crazy things… but because they were also pretty easy-going as well. Unfortunately, having a bunch of easy-going people means things don’t ever get decided. I started to narrow it down–here’s our color palette. Then even more, here’s the fabric and length I want. And then even more, here’s the exact shade I want… at this point, I really should have just picked whatever damn dress I thought they’d look good and fit their budget, because honestly this was causing me more stress than I ever wanted to have over this.
In the end, I made an executive decision and picked the dress for them (after soliciting their opinions, of course.) They seemed quite relieved. Remember, you may think you’re being awesome and nice… but if there’s no direction AND you actually secretly DO care what they wear, then you’re just stressing them out.
If you are planning on going that “every girl in a non-matching dress” route, remember that there still needs to be some kind of theme or else they’re going to look like random people picked out of your guest list.
Unless you’re cool with that, then of course, it’s cool…
