I wish my friend had just chosen matching bridesmaid dresses for us, rather than opened it up to anything we like for ourselves in a selected color range. We all have such different taste and styles. :\

Do you have to have the same style, though? It sounds to me like she's leaving it open as in, you all CAN have different styles. Or is she letting you agree as a group?

Sounds like everyone can pick what they want, and OP is lamenting the lack of coordination beyond color scheme.

What type of dresses do you and the other bridesmaids like?

I did this for my wedding and my bridesmaids looked great. The fact that they wore different styles hardly mattered and honestly, nobody I spoke to afterward even noticed. Choosing one color and letting them have their own pick was the point.

If it had been one color, it would be better. But it's the full blue-purple-burgundy-dark pink range. Too many options and clashing styles and ideas.

that sounds like a disaster as far as picking something out. Do you think she's really that laid back or does she have final say before you get the dress?

I had a friend's wedding where the girls were given a few shades of blue, told to keep it about knee length and everyone did their own thing but it looked really good.

She's very laid-back, and wanted us each to find something we're comfortable wearing. There are some plus-size girls in the party, and some body-image issues at play for one person.

We do seem to be defaulting to either blue or purple, but I wish there had been a few more directives. It's gonna be my A-line dress, a loose shift dress, a tight sheath dress, and a cheongsam-style dress (VERY heavy fabric for a hot summer wedding), plus one undecided so far. It's all over the place.

I understand the whole size issue and wanting everyone to be comfortable. At least there's not a lot of bridesmaids, but hey, as long as you're comfortable that's good!

Eh, okay. If she doesn't care about everyone being all matchy matchy, I'm not sure why anyone else would. I think it's admirable letting one's bridesmaids choose their own dress and it's a shame more brides aren't this reasonable.

Take comfort in the fact that her decision is the usual one for bridesmaid dresses, and it will give you and all the other bridesmaids something to rally around/bitch about on the wedding day.
