Allowing bridesmaids freedom of choice with limitations?
I searched around and did not see a post like this, so I apologize if there is one and I missed it. I have six bridesmaids, all of whom are all different sizes, from a petite 5' girl to larger 5'10" one. I want everyone to feel comfortable and look good, and was considering allowing them to choose their own dress as long as it is the right color and length. However, I have certain bridesmaids who I feel may go over-the-top with cleavage, etc. Is it appropriate to allow them to have freedom of choice, but place certain limitations on them, such as little/no cleavage? Could I accompany them dress shopping and in this way supervise what they are considering, or is this very rude? I am not sure that limiting their choices to a few patterns or styles would work, since they are literally each completely different in body type. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Not only could you accompany them on the shopping trip, you should. There are a few styles of dress that look well on many body types, including an a-line. Visit your local bridal salon and ask the salesperson to help you select 3 or 4 styles from which they can choose. I would suggest selecting the colors, unless you want a rainbow effect.

Thank you so much! I do plan on telling them to go with a certain color. Sorry I didn't notice the other post!

It may sound controlling and bridezilla-like, but it's really a way to allow the ladies to select something that suits them while controlling the look and feel you're planning.
If this is a vow renewal, and not a wedding, then there would be no bridesmaids. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
