So all my best friends will end up wearing an outfit they truly love on my wedding day, I gave them the liberty of choosing their preferred styles by buying their own dresses. I call this BYOD--Buy Your Own Dress. I am currently meeting with each of my friends to hand out their dress money. I, together with my fiance, want to make the wedding as hassle-free as possible for all the guests, and so I don't want my bridesmaids to spend for their dresses. Their company--which are priceless--during the wedding are all I ask from them.
I only have two requests for the dress: length is above the knee and color is any shade of
cream--off-white, ecru, flesh, dirty white--but not white.
Of course, I will be the only one in white. On
the fabric, anything goes. I just reminded them that it will be a garden wedding; therefore, no air-conditioning. Any footwear will do, too.
Making your bridesmaids buy their own dresses is practical and a good alternative to the can-be-too-tacky matching attires that we are used to. It also serves as a souvenir that will probably end up being kept and used again.
It is very good to share the experience of shopping their bridesmaid dress. This post might be useful for other engaged people. When they are going for shopping their wedding dress. The wedding planner iPad app is useful to find the best dress vendors near your area.
