    I have 5 beautiful bridesmaids (Sister, FSIL, 3 best friends).  Each of them lives in a different state from Massachusettes to California! To make everyone's lives easy and stress-free, I chose 15 chiffon dresses from Alfred Angelo and let each of the girls pick which they liked best. I'm not head over heels in love, but I think it'll look nice enough and most importantly---the girls are comfortable and happy. 

    Phew.  Happy Bridesmaids = Happy Virginia!

    @Missjyc, thanks girl!  In real life the color is more peach than this 80's mauve!  I promise.

    Great Idea....I made the mistake of inviting all my girls to Davids Bridal to pick out a dress...what a nightmare...lol

    I picked a dress I really didnt like but that they all felt comfortable in wearing.

    I love allof those dresses. Is that the color?

    I did that as well with the Twobirds Bridesmaid dresses - - - great idea everyone is happy in the same color and they look great!!!  Those styles they chose are very different and very complimenting!

    I love them!  I think they all look gorgeous!  And good for you for letting them pick their own.  I really think that makes bridesmaids appreciate the bride a lot more!

    I love it! I let the girls choose their own dresses which has turned out to be the best thing. Because I've had 2 of them get prego. So I don't have to worry about them not fitting in their matched dress.  If they can't fit in the dress they have then they can find one in the same color they can wear!  3 weeks to go to the wedding! Keep your fingers crossed they fit! :)

    So pretty!  I think they look great all together.  And I love peach!  It's one of my accent colors!  I think it's awesome that you gave them 15(!!!) dresses to choose from!  Good work!  :)

    I did the exact same thing (alfred angelo, cocktail length chiffon, pick from among them)  and all three of them picked the one in the middle of your picture.  Your wedding sounds gorgeous... mine's similar, but with some pool/aqua thrown in, and maybe less pink.  Yay for peach and gold and coral-ly colors!

    Very pretty and feminine.... Good job picking them out! I've chosen my BM dresses too, but not the MOH's dress... that needs to stand out a little..

    I love all the different designs!  It will look great!  PS - I'm glad that the color is more peachy because the picture looks a little funky.

    I am going to do the same thing with my bridesmaids.  I really like AA dresses, I am wearing the one on the far right in my friends wedding next month in the Coral color.

    I wish AA had the color I wanted for my girls.  I wanted a light grey / silver color but all they have is a charcoal grey.
