Two Birds dresses. What do you think?

So I've been planning on having Two Birds dresses for my bridesmaids. They come in the exact colour I want and can be worn loads of different ways, so each bridesmaid can wear hers however she wants. Which is particularly ideal, given that my bridesmaids range in age from 16 to 35.

The only thing is, they have become increasingly popular lately. I've seen them at 5 weddings in the past two years. Would this put you off? I don't want something that all of our guests will have seen loads of times before, but then, if they are worn differently, with different accessories, it's not really the same dress, is it?

I'm being daft, aren't I? It doesn't matter if our guests have seen very similar dresses on bridesmaids at other weddings, does it?

No, it does not matter one bit. What matters is whether you like them!

I love them! Thanks Bubble, I was pretty sure I was being silly. They will look lovely on my bridesmaids. And my bridesmaids all really like them.

It doesn't matter at all - choose whatever kind of bridesmaid dress you like. [how do you know how to wear them though - do they come with instructions??]

They do indeed come with instructions, oneowl. I'll be buying them from a bridal shop owned by a friend of my sister's, she always does two fittings. One to ascertain what size each of the bridesmaids need, and then one closer to the wedding date where she shows the bridesmaids how to wrap the dresses and has them practice on each other, so they can do them with ease on the morning of the wedding. Actually, thinking on it, the two fittings is an added bonus. One of my sisters travels a lot for work, so coordinating fittings with her schedule could be a nightmare. Only two fittings makes that much easier, and much less stressful for my sister!
