Since most brides have never had to choose bridesmaids dresses before, it’s hard to know the DOs and DON’Ts for the process. Here are some pointers collected by
Sposa Dress for choosing amazing dresses that your bridesmaids will love, and you’ll be excited about.
Choose your colour. Ask yourself a few questions before you go out shopping. Do you want all of your bridesmaids to have the same colour dress? Or will your maid-of-honour be in a different colour? Do you want your girls to match the men, if so you may have to think about going with a company like Sposadress who has a partnership with Moores.
Choose the right style. Short? Long? Straps? Halter? It is important to match the bridesmaid dress with the location and theme of your wedding. Long chic bridesmaid dresses work nicely for an elegant wedding, but not so much at a cottage wedding. Make sure the style of the dress compliments your girls. A lot of companies out there offer the same dress with different neck line to flatter any body type.
Find the comfortable material. Chiffon? Silk? Cotton? I, myself, had a hard time with this decision. In fact, what I would recommend is not to choose anything until you have your girls try on the dresses. Just keep your wedding location and theme in mind. I am getting married at a beautiful Orchard. I have the ability to mix the elegant and country look. However, if I was getting married on a beach I probably wouldn’t choose silk.
Keep an open mind. When making this decision, keep in mind that every girl looks different in the same dress, and some bridesmaid dresses may not flatter all your girls. Keep an open mind. As previously mentioned, a lot of companies offer the same dress, same colour, same material, but with different styles that compliment different body types.
