bridesmaids dresses

[les12]

Well, I finally found a wedding dress that I love, and I already know which bridesmaids dresses I want. The only thing I''m a little hesitant about is the fact that my dress is silk (like a stiff silk) and the bridesmaids dresses are silk chiffon. My wedding is in early May so I think they will be perfect for the weather, but the style is different than my dress. The color is PERFECT, it is the exact color I wanted, and the price is great. Let me know what you all think??

For reference...
I would allow my girls to choose from these dresses, color is light shell:

Just fixing your links. I personally like the second bridesmaid dress the best, but they''re both lovely! I don''t think there should be an issue in the fabric differences as long as all the bridesmaids are in the same material.

I think those dresses, esp. the second one, would go great with your dress. They don''t scream chiffon to me from the pics. I think they''re great.

Just my opinion...your dress is gorgeous and somewhat formal for lack of a better word. However, the bridesmaid
dresses dont look like they match the formality of your wedding dress. The second dress would be favorite of
the two.

i echo tyty333. the dress seems less formal than your gown BUT i don''t see a reason to change it because of the formal/informal clash. i love the 2nd dress!!!

I like the second dress, too! It seems to go more with the formality your dress.

Thanks for all the comments! I''m still thinking about it, I''ve ordered a fabric swatch from the bridesmaids dresses so I think I''ll take it with me to try my dress on again and bring pictures of the dresses too. I thought about maybe getting some antique brooches for the bridesmaids to wear which might help tie our dresses together a little more. I still have some time so I guess I''ll keep thinking about it! Thanks again for the opinions, keep them coming!
