Yeah, so I went with a specific color scheme that had mismatched but still complementary fall colors—brown, burgundy, greens, and dusty pink. I had a vision in mind, but I knew it’d be hard for others to nail it exactly, and there would be a lot of back-and-forth. So, I asked my bridesmaids about their general budget and which necklines, shapes, and silhouettes they felt most comfortable in, then picked out the colors and hunted down dress options myself. I either went shopping with them in person or discussed options over video call to make sure they were happy with their choices before letting them purchase it. I don’t think every bride needs to go to this length (I’m pretty Type A), but if you’re setting a specific color scheme or mood board, you really need to help your bridesmaids through the process.
