I offered my girls to get dresses in navy, cobalt or gray - 4 of 5 have their dresses and #5 wants to know what color to get! MOH is wearing Royal Blue. So... should #5 get the bright blue, or go uniform with the others and get navy...

SO...

ALL NAVY, except MOH...

If you want your MOH to stand out, have your BM get the navy. If you don't care, then let her choose either way. I think both sets you have posted look amazing! Really cool how you let them all choose different styles and fabrics, letting them show their personalities!! :)

I would aske her to please get the darker blue - it lets your MOH stand out a little bit.

Love the selections, BTW!

I voted for Navy - because it lets the MOH stand out, buuuuuut I think it depends on the fabric because Navy in different types of fabric can look really different - if that's the case it might be better to go with bright blue for BM 5

Both sets look great! I like the different styles and fabrics. I'd want my MOH to stand out a little bit, so I'd ask the last girl to choose a navy dress. Your wedding party is going to look great either way!

I personally like the BM all in navy so that the MOH stands out. Where, oh where is the asymmetrical dress on the far right from? Please let me know, I love it!

Thanks, all!!

I appreciate the feedback!

@jpatterson - good point about the fabrics! Still-Shopping BM is looking at the cotton sateen from DB - which I have not seen in these colors in person... Guess I should take a trip over there - might be the deciding factor!

This was the beauty of them choosing their own... Dresses from L to R

#1 - Old Navy Maternity - $15 - She'll be 8.5 mo. omg :) - cotton knit (on sale)
#2 - Davids Bridal - $99 - cotton sateen
#3 - J.Crew - $229 - taffeta
#4 - Target - $36 - satinish (on sale)
#5 - Saks , Marc Bouwer, Glam It - $300something (on sale) - chiffon and silk

They've been purchasing them since about January and got some on sale. I couldn't have guessed they would have chosen all different fabrics, all different prices. I'm really glad I let them be in control of their own budgets.

The Marc Bouwer is orig. $430 and on sale at BlueFly for $232

Thanks again!
