Like you, I have very 3 "difficult" bridesmaids! I opted to go to www.alfredangelo.com and pick out 15 different dress styles that I liked. They are all the same color, fabric and length. I let the girls choose the dress they liked most. Each of them chose a different dress, and are SO excited and happy and comfortable in the dress they chose. They were all around $160. I'm just glad they're happy and honestly, they look great when standing together!
First of all, your BMs are supposed to wear whatever you pick out for them. Unless your MOH has issues with her legs showing or something, she shouldn't complain.
Secondly, it's fairly common for the MOH to have a slightly different dress than the other BMs. If you can find a dress that your MOH likes that still coordinates with the other girls, that should work well - maybe the color and style are the same, but the length is longer, or something).
As I explained to my 8 y.o. goddaughter who was crying because she didn't like the dress options I gave her (which really, should I have given an 8 y.o. options? NO) I explained to her that it was MY day and while I would respect her opinion and would like for her to wear what she liked, she would eventually hvae HER day and then be able to tell ME what to wear.
I have three girls in my wedding and I went w/ them to look at dresses. Thank god they all liked the same one in the colors that I suggested! They chose a Watters bridesmaid dress in chocolate brown w/ a sage green sash. I allowed them to have either a long or short dress (but they all had to agree on either or) and then they could chose whether they wanted a halter, straps, or strapless. I also have fabulous girls who understand the process :o)
You should not include your bridesmaids in your dress choice. You should make a decision that will fit all of their body types and works within their budgets... other than that do not involve them... it will only cause heartache... I would simply tell her "I am sorry I let you guys in on the decision, but this is the dress I have chosen, it will only be for about 6 hrs, I would do it for you! love, your name"

So I am not a girly girl in the slightest, I literally have no idea how to apply make up. This whole wedding thing has thrown me for a loop and is difficult for me, a people pleaser. The hardest thing is pleasing my bridesmaids, all three are my closest girlfriends but are extremely varying in opinions, tastes and personalities. So to please them I found a cheap, short blue dress for them to all wear; now I have one bridesmaid, my MOH, doesn't like them whereas the other two and my mom love them. Should I just pull my bride card and go with them or try to find something else?
