My girls will be wearing the same dress but everything else is up to them. I just keep reminding them that it's going to be outside and skipping stilletos would be a good idea.
I didn't vote because my scenario is this - dresses will be same color and length but they'll get to pick what kind of top since not everyone can wear strapless. As far as shoes go, same color but whatever style they want. Hair and jewelry - whatever they want (although I'm going to suggest they go minimal with their jewelry). I think I'm going to give them cute clutch bags as their BM gift so their purses will match.
None of the options really sit our scenario. When we all went BM dress shopping, I picked out some styles that I preferred but in general, told on my girls to get what they wanted. They all ended up picking the same dress anyway, but my MOH (my sister) chose the dress in a different color to stand out, and the other two girls will be in plum, our wedding color. I also told them to do whatever with their shoes, and gave them the option of doing their hair/make-up themselves or professionally since I couldn't afford to pay for it.
They're wearing the same dresses (their choice) but not the same shoes, jewelry, etc.
My response doesn't fit on the poll. My girls wore the same shoes and dress, but they all had different hairstyles and different jewelry.
I have 4 girls. I wanted them each to wear a different dress--same color, but two ended up liking the same dress. I have two MOH's (one's a matron)--so a bridesmaid and a MOH are wearing a halter style dress and another bridesmaid and MOH are wearing a different style. To distinguish the MOH's from the other girls, the MOH's will be wearing an underskirt that is the same color as the sashes they are wearing.
I told them any shoes they want (they all agreed on wearing silver shoes), I'm getting them their jewelry and clutches.
My BM all want to wear the same dress. Which I haven't chosen yet. My MOH is about 104 lbs like me, and my little sister is about 400 lbs. So, I have to find something that works for all of them. Tough. I want them to wear the dress and then whatever accessories they want.
My BMs are each wearing their own outfits. I'd rather have them spend the money on something that they will actually wear again. I have spent so much money on bridesmaid dresses that will never be used again, hopefully at least one of them will wear thier dress again.
In fact, one of my BMs has a dress that should fit me and is so cute! If she doesn't wear it, I'm taking it.
yes, I love matchy matchy I only have two , my MOH and BM my sister and niece
they will have tea-length fuschia gowns and an updo and strappy shoes and sparkly coordinated jewellry
Honestly, unless one girl wears Ugg boots and another wears Jimmy Choos, I don't think it will be all that noticable that they have the same dresses, but different shoes. My BM all had different everything--dresses (black dresses from JCrew), shoes, hair, jewlery--and it still looked cohesive and put together.
I let them choose their own dress styles within the color and material I wanted. They just happened to like the same style, with the exception of my MOH, but that works out well. Shoes and jewelry are up to them...my only request was no open-toed shoes. I hate feet in formal pictures!
My ladies have the same dress but I told them to wear whatever black heels they wanted. Why ask them to go buy a pair of shoes when almost every woman has a pair of black heels? Plus their personalities will get to show through more. ;)
My Bridesmaids wore the same dresses, and had a few other similarities. Their hair was pretty much the same (half up with matching pins, but one curled her hers b/c it looked better b/c it was so long), and 2 of the girls wore the same jewelry and the MOH wore similar colors but slightly different (gifts from me). I chose a shoe color and had them wear whatever style they wanted (2 wore shoes they already had and one bought new ones).
well I have 4 girls and I have 2 different types of dresses. They will be wearing the same jewelery but I think all their hair and makeup will be different and shoes.
I gave my girls tons of choices and let them know I wanted them to wear the same color. They all like the same dress but I don't want them to wear the same accessories, shoes and hair stlyes.
My BM's are all wearing different dresses in the same approximate color and length, and different shoes of their choosing in a similar color. I really want them to be able to find a dress they really like and hopefully wear again, and I personally don't like the matchy matchy look.
I'm picking the dress color -- they pick the style as long as it's not floor length. They also pick their accessories and shoes (probably in black or silver).
I have 4 girls, gave them 4 options for the dress style (same color), 2 are wearing strapless, 1 is wearing a halter and one has straps...they are all going to wear some type of yellow accessory, but it will probably vary from girl to girl and whatever shoes and jewelery they want....

There wasnt an option on the poll for my BM's - they had the same dress and shoes but could pick their own makeup, hairstyle and wear whatever jewelry (if any) they wanted.
I let them pick their own shoes. This worked out great--one girl couldn't wear heels, one girl didn't want to wear heels, one girl needed specific straps for her skinny ankles, the list goes on. I liked that they had their own shoes on, i thought it was fun! I did get them matching bracelets and earrings but let them do whatever they wanted with their hair.
we are a little undecided on this front (still have time though).
I'd LIKE to have themwear the same dress but their figures are all so different, I'm not sure I can find soemthin gthat successfully flatters them all! Hair, nail, jewelery and shoes will be open to them!
My response also doesn't fit in the poll... my ladies are all wearing the same dress, but different shoes and accessories. I wanted them to match but still keep their personalities.
Different dresses, shoes and jewelry. The only thing alike is the clutches I picked out for them.
I picked out the dress colour, then let each girl find a dress that suited her. Shoes are totally up to them, and the jewelry I make will be catered to them. The only similarity will be their flowers and shawls.

My bridesmaids all had the same color dress. They got to pick the style, shoes, hair, etc... My MOH wore a different color and style dress than the other girls.
I'm letting them pick from 3 different dresses (all in the same color/material), and I'm letting them pick their own shoes out (gold). I have one BM who is really tall, and she never wears heels; I don't want to force her into them...and I don't want to force anyone into specific hair styles either, since each of my BM's looks completely and utterly different!
Mine are all wearing different dresses, shoes and jewelry. They all have such unique styles and taste, so I wanted to let them express that. I can't wait to see how they all look the day of!
I'm exactly like Kittyachi on this one. Different dresses is noticeable though. But my two cents...I've been to many, many weddings. I have never once ever noticed what anyone, including the bride, had on their feet. I think it might help to set a few guidelines, color, formality, sandal vs shoe...but then let them pick the shoes they want. Shoes are pretty important, and I know that for me the wrong shoes can leave my back in agony for a couple of days.
I didn't vote either - I've picked a color and a fabric (Satin, Berry from Alfred Angelo) and picked about 5 long dresses and 5 short dresses with different necklines/sleeves/strapless and my friends/sister are going to pick whichever one they want. I'm just thinking about shoes now and I'm leaning towards dyeables. Accessory-wise I think I'll get them jewelry to wear and a wrap or some sort and ask them to either wear their hair down or half up/half down - whichever they prefer.
I've still got some time to go before I have to go shopping for bridesmaid dresses but as my girls are different shapes and heights, I'll probably just go for a colour and material and let them choose the exact style of dress to flatter them best.
I think I'll be letting them choose their own shoes (just specifying colour) and give them jewellery to wear.

Now that my bridesmaids all have their dresses (which are exactly alike), they have been asking me about their shoes. I want them to wear whatever they feel most comfortable in. I've been telling them they can wear whatever color, heel height and style they want, just so long as it doesn't clash with their dress. Am I alone in this? Is it strange to have five girls in the same dress but with different shoes?
