Bridal Made: How to Choose Bridesmaid Dresses for the Women You Love Most

Bridesmaids

Your bridesmaids’ dresses are crucial to the aesthetic of your wedding day. Your bridesmaids need to look good to make you look good! Choosing bridesmaids’ dresses has never been easier. 

Check out this guide on how to choose bridesmaid dresses for your girls.

Remember These Things When Deciding How to Choose Bridesmaid Dresses

When choosing bridesmaids dresses, you need to consider a few things. 

The venue and the weather should be factors in determining the material and style of the dresses that you pick. You don’t want your girls sweating in heavy materials during summer or freezing in light materials in the dead of winter.

Additionally, your bridesmaid’s dresses need to complement yours. Make sure that the design that you pick for your girls doesn’t clash with the design of your dress.

Give Your Girls Some Options

Make sure that while you give them options, you also set some boundaries so that you don’t end up with stripes and polka dots accenting your floral-themed wedding.

You can pick one specific color and pattern and let your girls have free reign of the dress style. Or you can go with a specific style of dress and let them choose from a color scheme of your choosing.

Get their input. Figure out what they like and incorporate it into the theme that you have in mind for your big day.

Order your bridesmaid dresses with plenty of time for ordering, receiving, and altering their dresses. Once you order your dress, you need to get the ball rolling on bridesmaids’ dresses. 

Find the Right Fit for Every Woman in Your Bridal Party

Make sure your girls will be comfortable in their own skin on your big day. You want to make sure that they are in dresses that will flatter their bodies.

It’s important to pick the right dress size. You might want to have them order a bigger size so that they can have it altered to fit their specific body type. If they order it in their size and need alterations, they may need to buy a whole new dress before they get to stand next to you on your wedding day. 

Keep It Affordable

Set a price range and make sure that it is something that all your girlfriends can afford before you seal the deal. The last thing you want to do is make your bridesmaids buy an expensive dress that they might only wear once. 

You also don’t want one of your girls wearing something off the rack while another is wearing a designer gown. It’ll make them stick out like a sore thumb and take attention away from the bride on her wedding day. 

Wedding Day Ready

Now that you know how to choose bridesmaid dresses, you’ll be one step closer to your big day in no time at all!
