Do your bridesmaid dresses 'match' your dress?

Nope, they don't need to match. My were long like mine but had strap whereas mine had a covered area at the top. Completely different but funnily enough looked great together! It will never even cross your mind on the day and other people won't think so either!

I doubt my bridesmaids will have the same design dress let alone the same as me (they will match colour, but not cut etc), so I really wouldn't worry

Nah, mine don't 'match' in any way and it doesn't bother me at all - my dress is dupipon silk, and BMs are wearing liquid satin - one in a pencil dress and one in very wide flowy trousers and bustier type top.

If you love those BM dresses I think chiffon would look great with satin - your dress will 'pop' more because of the matt flaoty ness of the chiffon!

Well I don't know if they should match, but I have a satin wedding dress in ivory, and my BMs are in aqua blue chiffon dresses. So we don't match, other than all being strapless. Even to the back detail, my dress is zip up, but they all preferred their dresses with a lace up back, so we are very different, and I'm sure no-one will really care.

Mine don't match and I don't particularly care :-) bms are in strapless a line dresses in a raw silk kind of material and mine although is still strapless is nothing like their dresses but they will look fine. I don't like things that exactly match anyway really.

My wedding dress was satin & BM's satin & chiffon. I'd always thought it was the neck/bust line that 'traditionally' was the same or similar to the bride. (both strapless, both sweetheart, both with spagetti straps etc)

I personally dont think people will notice or care.

I have a satin dress and orginally wanted my Adult BMs in chiffon but when they tried it on it didn't look right on some of them so they now have satin in Petrol Blue. (this colour is the worest in the world to match!). My little BM's are in Ivory Satin BHS dresses. As we are only having a Civil Ceremony thought this would be too much satin, but all the girls love there dresses and are comfortable and that is what is important. Adults are in Lace up backs mine is a zip. I really don't think it matters as long as it is what you want.

Hi there,

I've done weddings where the bridesmaids have all different styles of dresses so really its personal taste......?

Mine don't match my dress at all - different shape, different necklines, different materials. Doesn't bother me at all.
