Note to the Bride: "And the best part is that if you cut it off, you can totally wear it again." is not a quote your Bridesmaids want to hear. Mostly because that is just not always the case.
While uniformity is beautiful, traditions have changed, and the days of Bridesmaids wearing matching dresses, although lovely, is no longer required. There are ways to get the feel of uniformity while giving your friends the chance to have a dress they really can wear again. We have three suggestions to make your gals happy and match.
1. The Little Black Dress.
Always a classic choice and to give the appearance of uniformity set a specific style, fabric or length. Everyone will feel good and who doesn't need a little black dress.
2. Shades of Color.
The same dress often comes in a variety of colors. Use different colors or shades of the same color for a unique and elegant effect. This looks really nice with shades of brown (chocolate, mocha, tan, champagne, etc.)
3. Variety of styles.
Once you have your color palette set, allow your bridesmaids to choose their dresses based on a specific color scheme. You can either give them full choice or pick the dresses yourself and allow the gals to choose from your selections.
Bottom line...have fun and look good (matching or not)!

this is good advice. I have hated every Bridesmaid dress I have ever had to purchase. I think my girls would be appreciative of this advice.
