This day is about you and your dream, your vision of this special day. Your vote is the only vote that counts. It is gracious to listen to their opinions; we have all heard horror stories from the ‘maids’ perspective! Not every friendship can justify dancing all night in a dress that is cut down to “there” or smiling for pictures despite thighs that look bigger than the bride’s limo! Occasionally, bridesmaids have a valid point. After all, you will have pictures to remind you of these choices for the rest of your life. Be wise but true to yourself. Pick the colors and styles that you like and then adjust according to your bridesmaids’ figures and personalities. Each of your fabulous maids will be much happier for you if they trust that you had their feelings and their thighs in mind when picking the honored gowns.
