Asking For Suggestions For The Color Of My Bridesmaid Dress.

Would it be okay to wear the same color of dress as the bridesmaids at a wedding? My boyfriend is the best man, and I want to wear a dress to match him, but I don't want to be rude.

It depends - if you were actively going out of your way to wear the exact same dress, same makeup, same accessories, same hairstyle (etc) as the bridesmaids then that would be a bit extreme. It may look like you are pushing yourself into the wedding party and trying to be involved in something that you haven’t been asked to be involved in.But if it’s literally just the same colour of dress, then I would say it’s acceptable. (Hopefully) people will understand that you are matching with your boyfriend, not the bridal party. I also wouldn’t consider it ‘rude’ either, it’s not as if you’re doing it to spite anybody.If you are still unsure then speak to some of the bridesmaids and find out their opinion on the matter, as going straight to the bride may seem a bit forward - especially as you are with the groom’s side of the family and you may not know her very well. Or, if you can, speak to the groom and ask his or opinion or ask if he can ask his wife-to-be’s opinion. Don’t be afraid to ask.I doubt you will be the only person wearing a particular colour at the wedding, and especially if it’s only the colour then many people may not notice.Hope this helps

Did you make your bridesmaids pay for their dresses?

Absolutely not.My bridesmaids blocked the time off their busy schedules to come and help me make my wedding very special.It was amazing to have my closest friends share this once-in-a-lifetime moment with me.Some of them even flew in from overseas at their expense.I will always remember what they did.Hence, the least I could do was to pay for a beautiful gown they can use over again and again.Besides, it was kinda fair. I also picked the color theme: Champagne and white were the theme colors of my wedding.Since I picked the color and the theme, I should pay for their dresses.Overall, my bridesmaids were my best friends at that time.When I invited them, I told them I would buy the material and have the seamstress talk to them to help them design the dress of their choice.Their dresses would be custom made to their size and tastes, and I would pay the bill for the dress.I wanted them to wear dresses they were comfortable with.I wanted them to be beautiful on the day.The dress was my gift for them.A token of my friendship and a souvenir from my event.I would be aghast to have them pay for it.As for the groomsmen, we had them wear a black suit, a white shirt and black shoes.Every guy has a black suit and a solid white shirt in their closet, so that was an easy ask.Then, we bought a champagne colored tie from the department store and gave each of them one.Voila!!!Dashing men that fit our theme without the expense!Handsome weren't they?At the end of the day, a wedding is not a time to be cheap. Our thought was, if we can't afford to buy our bridesmaids a decent dress for participating in our wedding, we should have less guests and less bridesmaids.You do only aim to marry once. Now's not the time to be too stingy where it matters.Hope this helps!

Have you had to wear an ugly bridesmaid dress? Were you asked to pay for it?

I don’t remember wearing an “ugly bridesmaid dress” let alone if I had to pay for the dress or not. I didn’t like the color of the bridesmaid dress I had worn for one of the weddings I’ve been invited to but the dress itself I didn’t think was ugly. The bridesmaid’s dress was plain looking unlike the bride’s wedding dress. As plain looking as the dress was, I liked the design of the bridesmaid dress but I did not like the color of the bridesmaid dress. The color as a bridesmaid dress was not that much to my liking. I still have problems with that color.I think that color can only work for me in velvet and/or maybe corduroy. Tailored fit.The price of the bridesmaid dress cost around $250 -$300. If the price of the dress was less than that, I don’t remember. I also do not remember if I paid for the bridesmaid dress or not. Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t. Who paid for it then? I don’t remember. It was a long time ago.Couldn’t even find shoes to match the damn thing. And the shoes I chose to wear with the dress I’m sure I paid for. It was later that I noticed that the shoes look far better paired with a pair of dress pants.The stockings cost around $30 dollars and ripped the same day. I wouldn’t have bought the stockings that I bought if I knew they’d get torn the same day. And for that price the stockings were the most ridiculously priced stockings I’ve ever bought. I bought them from a boutique store that I thought sell merchandise they know well. The boutique should get a sample of some of their merchandise to test for themselves before deciding to sell what they choose to sell in their store.The bra I noticed a bit too late was a wrong choice for the bridesmaid’s dress but it was too late to get some other bra to wear.As for the hair, I definitely regret not coloring it the same color as the dress. The make up I chose, I also regret. I should have nixed the eyeliner, used just plain matte eye shadow all around the eye with lots of mascara instead. I should have also gotten my skin whitened two shades lighter - which was the original color of my skin anyway.You’d think if you can’t get your stuff together at somebody’s wedding at least the heavenly delicious wedding food will make up for it, right? Well, lets just say I would have paid to have the wedding food to be more memorably delicious.
