Finding the perfect dress for your bridesmaids can be a daunting task. Depending on how many girls you have you need to choose a gown that best compliments all of them. Look for dresses that flatter the different shapes and sizes of your bridesmaids. Empire waists and A-line or princess skirts will tend to suit most.
Everyone has different financial situations so when looking for gowns try to select ones that are reasonably priced. You will get a sense from the girls if the cost is too high. Make note of the gowns they tried on and the cost. This way you can sit down with them and ask what is their budget. These girls are most likely your sisters or very close friends so it should not be awkward to discuss with them. Most will pay for their own dress but many bride’s do like to cover the cost of the jewellery, shoes or hair and make-up as their gift to the girls.
Once you have decided on your own theme and color then you can start looking for the bridesmaid dresses that would compliment and enhance your wedding dress as well. Long, short, off shoulder, v-neck, we are seeing all different styles on the wedding scene. The monochromatic look is still popular but the dresses are being accented with bold accessories such as coloured shoes, bulkier jewelery and unique bouquets. Now, you are even seeing more of each bridesmaid wearing a different style and color.
Take the girls shopping or go through wedding magazine while sitting around your home one evening and see what they all like and can agree on. The last thing you want is for them to purchase a dress they dislike but most importantly, feel very uncomfortable in. Be conscientious of everyone’s feelings so the end result will be a happy one.
