How should I have my bridesmaids do their hair? ›

Should all bridesmaids have the same hairstyle? ›

No rule says your bridesmaids have to rock an identical look, although that's one of the options available to you (and is more traditional).

However, when it comes to deciding the hairstyle and makeup, should a bride decide or should she let her bridesmaids make their own decision? This is a very personal question and one that only you as the bride can decide.
