“I just want to see her cry” — People! Wtf!
Currently at one of the Big 3 Japanese banks (MUFG, Mizuho, SMBC) in debt capital markets and might have an opportunity to join the Capital Markets team at Wells Fargo (all in London). What are the thoughts reputationally on WF vs the Japanese banks in EMEA? Also if anyone has any insight into promotions (ability to go up the ranks faster in WF) and salary what would be super helpful! Wells Fargo Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.

I think it can be cute to have bridesmaids stay within a specific color pallet instead of wearing the same cut+color! I’ve seen some people also do a “theme” that I really thought turned out well.
BUT. Your day, your decision if you want them to stay within the same color/color family/cut or just completely match.
No, it can be whatever you want. The key word here is YOU. Don’t do something if you don’t want to. Also don’t care what other people think if you do something different. It is YOUR day.
As long as they don’t completely clash (think one wearing red and another green or something) and you are cool with it, I don’t see why you can’t. You can have people there supporting you wearing whatever you want. There are no rules!
They should be the same color (the shade can be a little different), otherwise the pictures will look weird.
Many brides specify a color (eg navy blue) and general style (eg cocktail) and then let their bridesmaids choose their own dress.
Bridesmaids appreciate the direction too. No one wants to mess up your day!
It really depends on the atmosphere you want to create at the wedding... It's true that it's your day and it's important that you're satisfied and that what you've been planning since the age of 16 comes to fruition, but there are other things to take into account... after all, the goal is for you to be satisfied and for them to like what you've chosen for... the first thing that's taken into account is The body structure of a thin girl will suit a certain design and a full girl will suit a certain design... After all, you didn't choose them according to there body shape...
this is where you become a bride who thinks about everything and considers each and every one... (trust me they will love you more). there are many ideas that can be combined and it is important to you that they will like what they wear...
so in my opinion yes to choose the color, the designs according to each one (you can always add something to the design that connect all of them) according to what flatters them. And don’t forget the hair style. that way everyone will be satisfied.
Pro
This is a your choice. just think about your pictures. Some people pick all rhe same dress. Some same dress varying colors....say various pastels . Some pick the color, but let the bridesmaids pick the dress. This is the most common variation from all the same that I see. Using JJHouse ( or similar) makes this easy. Fairly low cost dresses in lots colors with a great trybefore you buy policy. You can even order custom for not much more and save everyone alterations. ( typically the custom is less than a hem job).
