Boy/man and I had a bit of trouble deciding who to have in our bridal party. Mostly because he has a HUGE group of friends that have all known each other since they were 5. And I don't have that many friends. Just a few close ones. And they don't even all know each other!
Oh, and we also wanted our siblings to be part of that group - he has two sisters and I have one brother. So in the end, he picked his two closest friends and a best man, plus my brother and I picked my two best friends (one of whom will be my 'matron' of honor... I seriously hate that word) and his two sisters.
Then came time to decide what we want them to wear. I was almost certain I didn't want the whole matching bridesmaids look, but I hadn't really seen it done. And I really like gray, but again, I hadn't seen it done. (Mind you, this was WAY before I started obsessively checking wedding blogs daily. I have now come to realize that the whole unmatching gray thing is pretty popular these days. Figures.)
So I researched and put together a nice little collage of unmatching gray bridesmaids. I'll be sending these out to my lovely ladies (some of whom are still a bit skeptical of the whole concept).
Seriously? How can you be skeptical about this?

J.Crew dresses are all over these inspiration pics. That's fine for Canada. But what about my UK ladies? What to do for them?
And, also, how can I convince boy/man that his groomsboys should have mismatched gray suits?
Anyone have good pics I can show him?
