A trend that has come to us from the west is gaining momentum: dress bridesmaids in the same dresses. In addition to the obvious advantages, you can find the other side of the coin.
Of course, bridesmaids in identical dresses look very beautiful and impressive in photos. In addition, they favorably set off the personality and dress of the bride, match the general style and color scheme of the wedding. Recently, variations have been popular: dresses of the same style, but in different colors or shades - from light to dark.
In fact, this is far from a new trend; even in ancient Rome, the bride's “entourage” was dressed in the same dresses, though also wedding dresses. But it had a symbolic meaning, and was not done for the sake of a photo on Instagram.
After looking at beautiful photos, you need to assess the situation for your wedding. Firstly, these are additional financial costs. Are the guests ready to pay for the tailoring or purchase of the dress? In Europe, it is customary that the bride bears all or part of the costs.
Secondly, not all girls have an ideal figure: someone may not suit a style or color. But here you can find a compromise if the dresses are designed in the same color scheme, but they can be of any style and shade.
Thirdly, not all girls will enjoy being a "background" for photographs and a kind of decorative element. After all, a real woman wants to feel like an individuality even at someone else's wedding, and for someone a bad dream is to meet the same dress at a party.
In addition, many already consider this trend unoriginal and boring.
In any case, you should not put your girlfriends in front of the fact and oblige to dress the way you want. For a start, it's better to ask if they like this idea and discuss the financial side of the issue. Then everyone will feel comfortable at the wedding.
