Patterned bridesmaid dresses

kittylin: said this on Wednesday 20 July 2011, 01:26 PM; My wedding is in October at Jonah's at Whale Beach, so an outdoor, beachside ceremony.

I have 3 bridesmaids - my sis lives in London, my godsister is 16 and lives in Brissy and a close friend who is fortunately in Sydney.

I was dreading bridesmaid dress shopping as to put it nicely, all my bridesmaids are quite chubby and my godsister has extremely large breasts.

I went with my friend yesterday and we tried on a lot of dresses and it was quite difficult. I did find one dress that looked lovely and it was nice and bright which is what I want. It is patterned tho and my mum has this thing in her head that having a patterned dress x 3 will be too much and detract from the bride. I disagree (besides my mum is driving me mad sticking her nose in all the time).

What do you think?
And what about this dresses for my sis:

We don't see why a lovely patterned dress wouldn't work for bridesmaids - especially as it's an outdoor beach wedding, where it's more acceptable to be a bit more 'casual' than formal. Prints are also great for all body shapes when chosen well! At the end of the day, it's YOUR big day and it's totally YOUR choice so go with what you feel you love most. PS. There's NO chance anyone will outshine you!

Best of luck! xx

What sort of dresses are they? Are the colours bright or more toned down? What's your dress like?
Congratulations babe!!! Hope it's all going smoothly :) x

Congratulations, you will look stunning and the bridemaids will look great too x
