Bridesmaids- Who pays for hair?

To be fair, I have seen weddings with "clone" bridesmaids that did look lovely, but they were also all very similar in build, coloring, etc.

Also, I love the trend I've seen of the same dress - usually in black - with different colored shoes/bouquets. It's usually very vivid colors and they really pop!

oops, I'm hijacking. :-)

I'm not saying that you can't have "clones" (or that it can't look good), but the very definition of clone means that you'd have a duplicate or replica of an original. If all of your bridesmaids have the same build and hair, then it wouldn't be crazy to have them all wearing the same thing, and therefore, be "clone-like."

If, however, they're all different heights, different sizes, and have different styles/lengths of hair (like in Low C's post, for example), it would seem reasonable to consider how ALL of the bridesmaids would look in what you pick out, and possibly consider mixing things up to make everyone look good.

I like this, as well. I've also seen the bridesmaids dresses in white or off-white, as opposed to black. I think it looks sharp.

One of my sorority sisters actually had all of her bridesmaids in yellow, and they each had a different colored bouquet. It looked awesome. I'll see if I can track down a picture...

Found it! Love this pic and the color combo! My 4 sisters in the middle

Plus, you'll notice my sister to the right of the bride has on a different dress than the rest of them... because she was pregnant at the time. The dress that the other girls were wearing would not have worked, so the bride was smart enough to change things slightly.
