    Hi Bees, I think I have narrowed my bridesmaid dresses to midnight blue, cocktail length eden dresses.  I'm going to let the girls pick their dress but I'd like to narrow the options to 3 or 4.  (Maybe I don't need to do this, but for some reason I think the 7 I have right now is too many.  So, which dresses would you vote for.  Keep in mind I have 6 bridesmaids and 2 jr. bridesmaids and they are as different as you can imagine (tiny petite pear, an apple shaped, one who will have given birth a month before, ... you get the idea).

    Eden 7276, 7269, 7265S, 7241, 7211 (with ruffle removed),7209, 7189S

    What does your dress look like? Do you want them to match your dress in any way?

    i like them all, my MOH ordered 7265s and it looks amazing on her.  have you showed the girls?  maybe they can narrow it down at first glance, or maybe if they all know of one the really really like you won't have to narrow it down?  it doesn't look like too many to choose from if you're worried about that.

    Love the last one!  I say don't narrow it down and just let them choose, they really are all very nice, I'd have a tough time choosing.

    @pinkspraklegrl - They don't have to match my dress but I would like the level of formailty to match (if this makes sense).  I guess I'm thinking because they are all satin they will.  Anyways here is a pic of my dress (casablanca 1856) and dress in the color that I want for the BMs (midnightblue)

    Thanks all - I'm not sure why I think 7 choices is too many - I guess it's probably not but I love all your feedback! In the end, I'm going to let them all wear different dresses anyway!

    I think they are all nice but my main concern wold be that they are all the same fabric. Some of them appear to be a different fabric than the others.

    The first one. I like the one with the ruffle too, but I would leave the ruffle on.

    All but the last few have very low or open backs.  Do you have any busty maids?  Those will make wearing a bra very difficult.  That was a major hurdle for my choice, but something you have to be aware of.

    The first and second dresses are fantastic! They are bridesmaidy, but with a fun, unique twist. I'd love to wear either one of those if I were in your bridal party.
