Gone are the days when bridesmaids have to be carbon copies of one another! We're seeing more and more brides these days opting to allow their bridal party to choose their own dresses. For the bride who still wants to maintain some control, select a designer or line of dresses that has several styles available in the same color and material. For the more daring bride, pick a color and allow your bridesmaids to choose any dress to their liking within that color scheme. The variation in the shades they'll each wear will add a lot of dimension to the overall look of the bridal party. And for the most untraditional, unique bride, make it a free-for-all! Allowing each girl to wear whatever they please will let them express their individuality-- and most importantly, they will feel comfortable. We all know that a comfortable bridal party makes for a happy bridal party!
