How Do I Choose What My Bridesmaids Should Wear?

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

Bride and BridesmaidsWhen deciding what your bridesmaids and maid of honor will wear at your wedding, you need to take several factors into consideration.

The Sensitive Issue of Price

It’s best to choose styles that fall into a price range that would be comfortable for everyone. Remember, they also have to pay for their shoes, contribute to your wedding shower, buy gifts and so forth.

Styles For Everyone

Unless you have a collection of cookie-cutter bridesmaids, chances are you’re going to have people who will vary greatly in height and shape. Therefore, you should either go with a simple A-line design that’s flattering on virtually everyone or choose a designer or manufacturer who has a line of dresses that can be ordered in the same fabric. Another option would be to choose a selection of separates so your bridesmaids can choose pieces that suit her body best.

Colors For Anyone

You may have your heart set on a lime green, neon orange or another unusual shade as your wedding color but many shades don’t suit all skin types. Instead, select a neutral shade for the bridal attendant dresses and accent them with your chosen wedding colors on accessories such as bridesmaids bags, flowers or jewelry.
