Same bridesmaid dresses, different looking bridesmaids
When you go through your mother's, aunts or friend's wedding photos, you can see many similarities. You have the white designer bridal dresses, you have the groom and the groomsmen in same tuxes and then you have the bridesmaids each wearing the similar bridesmaid dresses. Though it may appear to be great, and that too when the dresses of bridesmaid's are really appealing, but still don't surpass the bridal dress, but if you look keenly you would observe that maybe one of the bridesmaid is wearing a false smile.
When two men turn out to be wearing the same exact outfit, they are said to become fast friends. But, when the same happens to women, it is believed to become the worst enemies for a lifetime. Still, many brides prefer to have their bridesmaids wear similar dresses, without taking into account the uncomfortable feeling that most of the women have when they are wearing exactly the same dress that another woman is wearing, moreover when there is not a single one but five of them. Fortunately as a bride you can have your bridesmaids each wear the same dress yet look completely different, if you only let them play a bit with their look.
Starting with the bridesmaid dresses, just because they are the same, doesn't mean they can't be altered. To keep the consistent look intact, ask your friends not to alter the neckline, but if they want the dress to fit in properly or make it short to give it a nice look, you should give them permission to do it, with the condition that they don't go beyond limits to make the dress too short or too tight. Talk to your friends before making any alterations and make it a joint task to get every bridesmaid dress just perfect for the particular bridesmaid wearing it.
Remember that just because you're asking your bridesmaids to wear the same dresses doesn't mean you have to tell them to wear the same shoes or jewelry. Some women feel better in ballet flats while others can't live without their high heels, so why not let your friends wear the shoes they feel most comfortable in? It won't be a great idea if you ask them to wear similar color shoes or tell them to wear a heel of height they are not comfortable with. This will ensure that your bridesmaid is comfortable and will carry a different look. And as for the jewelry, let the girls express themselves through it the way they do on a daily basis, putting on delicate necklaces, chunky bracelets or funky earrings, whatever they like best.
In the end the most important thing is that nobody else is wearing a white wedding gown but you. And just like you wouldn't want anyone to rain on your parade with a white outfit or a same cut dress, you should understand that your bridesmaids don't want to be seen only for their identical bridesmaid dresses. So, they should be permitted to beautify themselves as they wish, let them carry varied color bouquets, add colored belts, scarves or small jackets and don't meddle with the hair. It would be worth noting that if you give your bridesmaid some liberty and that will give you a wedding album full of great looks beautiful smiles.
