Is It Okay For The Maid of Honor and the Bride to Both Wear Halter Tops?

| Permalink

Q. I'm the maid of honor (and only attendant) for an April wedding in Florida. Most of the dresses that I like have a halter-style bodice, which definitely flatters my figure. The bride's gown is also a halter-style, and neither of us is sure if my dress will complement hers, or if it will look strange for them to be so similar. She's in white, I'll be in black, her halter is smooth satin with some beading, mine would be more of gathered silk or ruched chiffon, and so the only similarity would be the basic shape. What do you think?

A. I think you'll be fine wearing the halter style. What would help distinguish them further is if your dress were cocktail length.
