I think it will look nice. Lots of people seem to be doing this :)

Sounds lovely. Nothing wrong with two of them in the same colour although I would suggest that they don't stand together in photographs if possible or it may make a 'colour block' which would draw people's eye.

No, I have seen this done before. Could they have a slightly different style?

I have seen it done so every bridesmaid had a different colour dress and the bride's flowers had all the colours in it was lovely

I have 2 flower girls wearing the same and 2 bridesmaids wearing the same dress? Don't see anything wrong with it?

Sorry I don't get it - bridesmaids normally wear the same colour! Do you mean that the others will be wearing a different colour?

Your choice if you like the way it looks. I've got 4 adults in the same dress but my younger bridesmaid will be in something different as she is only 10 not sure what yet though.

I thought having bridesmaids in the same style and colour dresses was the norm tbh! Not sure why you'd think it would look silly

There are 7 bridesmaids and the girl is asking about 2 of them matching when i assume the others are all different. Personally i wouldnt do it. My bridesmaids are all having the same skirt but different colours. They picked their colours but i had to ask if some would change. I have 8 bridesmaids and 4 had picked different shades of pink and the other 4 random colours. I told them from the start my theme was mismatched. They understood. We have gone with a bright pink and a pale pink and the other 2 chose different. I didnt want all the same colour or different shades of the same colour as i didnt want to see colour blocks. Just because thats not what is in my head when i picture it x

If you want them in different colours, maybe split them so have 3 in one colour and 4 in another colour :). I'm having all mine (3) in the same dress, but if I had more I'd probably mix it up!

My 3 bridesmaids are in Cadbury purple. My maid of honour in a different shade of purple and my female usher in a smokey grey colour. All the dresses are the same and all
the colours match the colours in the men's kilts. They'll be wearing Cadbury purple ties.

I had 2 adult bridesmaids - both in some dress and same colour. Our 8 year old son & hubby's best man wore a tie and pocket square in the matching colour :-)

The bouquets for the all the bridesmaids can tie it all together , as well as the themed colour for the jewellery !
