The foremost concern for a bride is normally for her own dress, but it is important to remember the bridesmaids want to feel special too. Just like the bride, the bridesmaids will be in the spot light all day, and will be in everyone’s photo albums remembering the day. If you’re looking for inspiration when it comes to bridesmaid dress ideas, use the useful hints below to make the perfect choice for your girls.
A good starting point is to match your bridesmaid dresses to the colour scheme you have chosen for the rest of the wedding. This would be the colour, or colours, you have ordered your flowers in or table decorations. Coordinating colours will give a wedding consistency, and overall more aesthetically pleasing look.
It can be difficult to find appropriate dresses to wear to a wedding, especially when it comes to bridesmaids, because typically a bride will choose more than one friend to join in her special day. Crucial factors that you must consider can include age, size and differing tastes. If there is a wide age gap in your bridesmaids, for example a young cousin and an older aunt, certain lengths will not be age appropriate for both females. Women come in all shapes and sizes, and not all cuts will suit all the females involved- unless you are very lucky and they are all the same size!
Traditionally bridesmaids have all worn the same dress, but this one size fits all approach is no longer the case! It’s your wedding and you can dress your bridesmaids however you like. Remember it’s your big day! Why not go to a dress maker and ask them to produce a variety of styles to shape each individual bridesmaid? Just ensure you keep the colour the same and your lovely girls will look like beautiful bridesmaids.
