Choosing Your Bridesmaids Dresses

You've selected the perfect dress for your wedding, the party is put together, and now your bridesmaids are clamoring for their dresses. So, it is time to give it to them!

Making the Right Dress Choices for Your Bridesmaids

Although your wedding is your special day, your bridesmaids are in it with you. Therefore, keeping them happy is important, too. After all, you don't want glum expressions in those photos. So, involve your bridesmaids in the decision - get their help and they'll repay you by enhancing the overall merriment-level of your wedding.

At the same time, while you want your bridesmaids to be happy, you don't want to let yourself be outshined by your friends. After all, you're the center of attention here. At the same time, you should make sure to make certain considerations when choosing dresses for your bridesmaids. Some of the factors you should consider include:

  • The Bridesmaid's Figures
  • Their Hair Colors
  • The Bridesmaid's Complexions

If you take the time to find out what colors and design work with your girls, they'll thank you later.

Helping Your Bridesmaids Stay Comfortable

It is also important for you to be a courteous bride and make sure your bridesmaids' dresses are comfortable. Thinking of their needs will definitely keep morale high and they'll be more willing to help you with your wedding planning.

If you've ever been a bridesmaid, you probably also know how important the cost of a dress is. Don't saddle your friends with gowns they can't afford. In fact, you might want to discuss prices with them before you and make a decision about the dresses you want on your wedding day. Find out how much your friends are willing to spend and be reasonable with your expectations.

Keeping Careful Records

You might want to consider keeping a notebook on hand in order to record all your bridesmaids' information. In the chaos of the other planning, you might forget sizes and alteration notes. So, play it safe by writing it all down. And, don't forget about the fittings. Find out how many fittings will be needed for each of your friends and the costs of such. Write down the dates of those appointments and your bridesmaids will thank you.

Now that you've chosen the dresses, you only have a few more considerations to make when it comes to your bridesmaids. Now, it is shoe-choosing time. You will first decide on flats versus pumps. Then, choose the color you want and make sure your choice is enforced with your bridesmaids. At the same time, respect the women you've chosen to stand with you on your special day by including them in these decisions and you're certain to have a group of happy friends and a batch of wonderful memories.
