As the bride, you have the duty and right to pick out the bridesmaid dresses for them. You may feel worried, and there surely some points need to be kept in mind.
- Avoid over-budget
If there is no limit of your budget, then you could consider to buy the bridesmaid dresses for your friends. But if you do need them all to by the dresses themselves, you should definitely consider the feelings of the women standing up in your wedding, and avoid go for anything you know will break someone’s budget. That’s not cool. Perhaps most of your friends can afford it but if one is struggling, offer to help her pay for it (privately – no need to embarrass).
- Avoid self-assertion
Now if you are buying them the dresses, you have a little more leeway, but you still shouldn’t buy anything that you yourself would feel uncomfortable in. I assume you want to continue your relationship with these women after your wedding!
When you start to pick the bridesmaid dresses, the first step you can do is to communicate and seek advice from your bridesmaids. Telling them your wedding color theme, and picking out the dresses to commensurate your wedding dress, especially in the color. When you are in a red dress, the bridesmaids should not choose a green or purple dress. In addition, the bridesmaid’s dress should also be adjusted according to the wedding theme.
It is easy for you to decide the dress color, but it is hard for you to choose the right dress for your bridesmaids because of their different body shape. At some weddings, the bride’ bridesmaids are more than one. When the bridesmaids are in great disparity, they should pay attention to whether the dress can satisfy everyone’s needs. The same color of different styles of dress is the best choice, not only reflects the bridesmaid uniform dress, but it also adapts to the requirements of different bridesmaids.
Fabrics cannot be ignored, high-grade fabrics will make the dress more comfortable.
If possible, you can give them an opportunity to come with you about shopping the bridesmaid dresses. Or it is hard for all of you gathered, you can show them pictures and ask if each dress was okay or if it was unsuitable for some reason. You didn’t want them wearing something they wouldn’t feel comfortable in for a few hours, and in photos forever, isn’t it?
- Avoid too gorgeous or too complex
Avoid anything overly complex or up-to-the-minute trendy. Simple is always the most elegant, also generally the most figure friendly.
The wedding day is the home of the newcomer, and the bridesmaid is just a foil, so the bridesmaid’s dress should not be too bright, and the design should not be too complicated.
- Avoid black, white, and multi-color
(1) Wedding is a formal event, black is usually not acceptable. As the bridesmaids for your best friend, it is best not to wear back, especially not to wear black mesh socks.
(2) At the wedding, the color of the bridesmaid dress is preferably slightly lighter than the bride’s dress, and the color is mainly warm.
(3) Do not wear a pure white dress to debut, so as not to take the lead.
(4) Be careful not to have too many colors on your body.
- Avoid too short or too revealing
Too short or too revealing dress style is not suitable for a wedding. As the bridesmaids, they need to company with the bride all the time, it is necessary for them to obey the wedding dress code.
- Avoid too late
Although you need focus on shopping your wedding dresses, you should also leave enough time for your bridesmaid getting their dresses. Never be too late. Or everything will be in hurry. You could call your friends and share your good news once you set the wedding theme.
It is impossible for you to please every of your bridesmaids, but at least you can try your best to understand each of them. Consider their feelings, body shape, and budget. They are also your guests, and they will witness your love and happiness. It’s not about the dress. It’s about everyone valuing everyone’s comfort and happiness, and everyone being willing to compromise a bit to find something that works for all. Please remember, the actual purpose of the wedding: coming together to celebrate.
