My wedding colors are pink and brown; brown being the more dominant color. When I first decided to get married I was not a very knowledgeable bride. I made a decision to allow the bridesmaids to choose their own dresses in truffle color. Two bridesmaids chose long dresses while the other two chose tea length. The problem is that the wedding is now 6 days away and I don't like the tea length dress on the MOH. It looks plain and frumpy. So, we went looking yesterday and found a longer pink dress and the price was unbeatable. Is it okay for the MOH wear a pink dress (short in front, longer in back) while the bridesmaids wear long and tea length dresses?

Dear Pamelasue,

It isn't as uncommon these days for all of the ladies to wear different dresses that blend as long as the wedding is informal. Attire for men is still fairly rigid though.

Yes, she can wear a different color.

Best wishes,
