Same or Different? (PIP)

SIL asked me to make her, MIL, and her FMIL all a tote for her upcoming wedding. She wanted them pink and black and has little "Mother of Bride/Groom" and "Bride" pins for them. I finished the 2 mother's totes (see pic below) but am wondering if I should make her's different since she is the bride. What do you think? If I should do something different, what should I do?

Re: Same or Different? (PIP)

  • Personally, I think that white and pink would be cute for the bride.  But, if she specifically asked for black and pink, I would not go that route without consulting her.  I probably would ask if she would like hers a little different.

  • I would ask her what she wants, since she made the request in the first place. (If it was just me, I would do them all the same.)

  • I think something as simple as just making the flower detail for the bride's bag white would be cute and stand out as different.

  • I'd ask her if she has a preference, but my vote is different. She is the Bride after all!

  • What about making hers a little larger? I know I carried the biggest bag I could find the day of my wedding. :)

  • I vote a little different, but check with her first. I love the idea of the white/pink for her.

    Also, I can't see your picture. :(
