Bride Wants Bridesmaids To Wear Dresses With Different Necklines | Say Yes To The Dress Bridesmaids 

This episode is clearly at LEAST 10 years old. What you are doing is fairly standard now. I did different dresses in the same color and fabric (chiffon) and it looked very cohesive and everyone looked beautiful.

Right. I also did different necklines so my friends had a dress they all loved in my wedding 4 years ago. My best friend did that in her wedding 17 years ago. We were classy and it looked good. I’m surprised this is even an issue. Lol

Do you comment the same always? I’ve seen this exact comment on another video.😅

That’s the one thing I’m letting my bridesmaids chose because I’m particular about everything else (chiffon, long, no strapless, my color scheme) but I have a couple of friends who are body conscious and I want them comfortable as possible and having them be part of my day means a lot!

Honey no If I'm getting married every one of my bridesmaids will wear the same dress my wedding I could do what the fuck I want it's more bout supporting ur friend that's the bride to celebrate her day her happiness don't urs duh

Exactly! I had 5 bridesmaids and they all got to choose their dress as long as they were long and in the color Celadon! It was beautiful and I received many compliments on it! It comes out waaaay better if they all are comfortable in their dress and that it suits their body types better!

@@dl144lynch4 yeah! I had 3 bridesmaids, all in long sleeve velvet, but different colors. Fall themed, it was so pretty!

Agreed! It is nearly impossible find one dress style that is going to flatter the figures of several different ladies at the same time, not to mention honor any of their personal religious or cultural customs of modesty. But, if you choose a color, a particular type.of fabric, and the length of the dress, and allow each lady to choose a silhouette and neckline that best suits her, everyone will look lovely and cohesive.

I soooo agree when i was younger my class teacher got married and she showed us her wedding pictures. And the bridesmaids dresses where absolutely amazing even though they were different styles the colours matched and that was amazing

Nice ❤️ I like that idea

I agree. The length and dye lot should be the same. It is great that the styles are different. It's more complimentary to each body type.

The colour helped a lot, too. I think it needs to be a classic one to make this match in different style.

Definitely. I think the fact that they all had similar length as well really helped tie it in together. I would have liked it less if the dresses didnt have similar bottoms.

I’d add same fabric

The necklines being different isn’t a issue it’s more that they even in the same color they can look weird if it’s different fabric and from different designers instead of them looking like bridesmaids they look like people who just showed up with a color code

It just has to have some cohesion. Same color, fabric, designer. Then you vary the neckline.

It helps if it's the same fabric, colour and length

It's not up to mum at all, and Lori who is always for the bride, should absolutely not be talking compromise. It's about the bride and the girls wearing it.

The mom probably didn’t want her daughter to make a mistake

If the bride really cares about mom's opinion then YES there must be a compromise

I agree. If I were a mom, I'd feel happy my daughter wanted me to be a part of it at all. The mom got to choose what she wanted for her wedding, and now it's time to feel happy for her daughter at her wedding. And who's looking that close anyway? It's not a pageant with judges😭

Thank you for that huh why’d I not think about like that :)

And if they're the same fabric and designer too

I'm getting married soon and the ladies are picking whatever they want in the same color. None of their body types are the same. I even have 1 girl that wanted a short dress and the others are floor length. Will totally not distract from my dress!

What if it's the color and not the style that doesn't feel comfortable on you/bridesmaid? Are you the type of person who would rather pay for something affordable/have the best deal 'material' wise,be able to resell,remake/repurpose/recycle,donate(singularly or together with other bridesmaids as a set so future party's have affordable matching color items). Or really actually try for something you want to keep/wear again?

well the wedding isn't about you, so you shouldn't worry so much about looking good in the first place

@@user-gv5hm8po6b disagree, I wouldn't want my bridesmaids to look frumpy right next to me. I love them, and if I put so much effort into my venue lookin good, why should the people standing who supported me fall short! Let's get it straight, I'm the bride in white with the perfect dress, hair, makeup and jewelery at the alter I'll make sure that nobody can compete with me, you just worry about keeping up!

@@jaycookie2912 no that’s not what i’m saying. it’s just that the bridesmaids shouldn’t be obsessed over looking good when it’s not their day.

Her mom's name is actually Karen 😂 I think the point in this particular situation was that she called her by her name and not "mom", but it totally works both ways 🤣

yeah, this was before 2013, there was no such thing as a "Karen"

ain’t no way ur serious… this has to be a joke right?

This episode aired in 2012....

Even though her mom's name is Karen, the whole thing just aged like fine wine.

I completely agree!

It helped they were all like flowy at the bottom

Honestly I thought it was weird nun wear.

​@@oil_painted_dessertBut it was possible to find dresses in the 80s that were on trend for the time, but were still beautiful. There were so many better options in the 80s than what Mom picked.

It was different fashion style.

It's been out for 7 hours (on RU-vid)and is already aging bad😂

wedding was in 2013

They ARE related after all..

@@ang5798 ok

Lori always saves the day.

Yes Lori always saves the day I love her

Lots of brides just tell bridesmaids to go find a blue dress. Some give fabric preferences

My daughter and I are frothers, but she is an adult. When they are kids, I agree with you - you have to be the parent.

@@katwil89, it's wonderful to be friends with your mom when you are an adult. Brandon is quite harsh in saying you shouldn't be. As adults, you should be able to get along and be friends with your parents. Keeping the parent/child relationship can be damaging. As a child, I agree with you, it's mother and daughter and you can't always be friends when you have to be the parent first and foremost.

Was the mom's name Karen or was she referring to her mother as "a Karen"? I think this episode was way before the "Karen" terminology came about though. I agree that it seems quite rude to call your mom by her first name. I couldn't. It would feel so awkward. But to each her own, I suppose. Reminds me of the little guy who made "listen, Linda" a thing. And that was just a little boy!

@@heather_smallwood her name was Karen.

@@heather_smallwood her name is actually karen lmao

In my country we don’t have bridesmaids. I imagine this to be a challenge in a group of girlfriends to pick one maid of honor? Don’t the rest feel like 2nd class friends? I am just curious about this tradition.

@@realbutstillanonym3532 yeah a lot of times the other bridesmaids do feel like 2nd class friends. But I like to think that if there is respect and communication among everyone hopefully there will be no drama.

@@realbutstillanonym3532 usually the Maid of Honor (or Matron of Honor if they are married) is a very close sister but usually your very closest friend. Very rarely does it cause conflict between the ladies because everyone usually knows who your best friend is. That friend that not only is there during the great times but would be there during your lowest lows. Hope that helps!

@@sbkhider thanks for taking the time to explain 👍🏼

@@realbutstillanonym3532 Sometimes people have 2 maids of honor if they can't pick or have lots of friends. But the maid of honor usually coordinates and is in charge of planning the bachelorette party and is more involved with helping with wedding plans. She usually gives a speech/toast at the wedding reception too. (Bridesmaids it is optional). She has a lot more responsibility than the other girls. Not all the bridesmaids can or want as much responsibility. And if you have a lot of friends it can be hard for everyone to agree. I think it makes things easier when 1 or 2 girls are more in charge (under the bride of course). Even if people might be jealous. Although for me it was easy to choose. I don't have any sisters, and few friends. So my best friend that I talk to often is my maid of honor.

Reminds me of the Tv show Recess, there were 5 Ashleys 🤣🤣🤣

At my brother's wedding, the bride chose matching gowns for all - suited 2 tall, slender bride's friend & sister, but looked terrible on my sister & me (short & not slender). At my sister's wedding, her only instruction was "pastel" (we all wore short dresses that we already had or chose to buy).

Length is a huge issue too, tho. I look HORRIBLE in dresses that aren't super long or short. Any mid-size gown makes me look like a hobbit because I'm short with big calves, it erases my curves. Length is a huge factor for different body types.

I mean he could as long as he stuck to the guidelines 😂

@@sarasthoughts Most brides will choose floor length gowns as a guideline when they allow the bridesmaids to wear different styles or even different colors because it still provides that cohesion. I don’t really see brides choosing to mismatch a short or mid length dress unless they had the bridesmaids wear different colors in the same exact style. Otherwise there would be no way to guarantee any sort of cohesion.

I’ve always called my parents by their nicknames. No big deal.

No it doesn’t? I feel kind of bad for Karens honestly. The Karens I know in real life are very opposite to the stereotype.

Think this title totally fits this mom

Though anything "in" today will look dated no matter what.
