Bridesmaid Dresses 

While the bride certainly has enough on her shoulders trying to plan, picking out bridesmaid dresses can be stressful when you have several ladies to think about.  Below you will find what the bride and her maids will have to face and questions that need to be thought about.

“This will not look good on me!”

Your bridesmaid group will probably be all physically different. Each of them has wardrobe issues that they deal with every time they go shopping. Finding a dress that is flattering on every figure it not always easy.  But some sites have the perfect option to pick a color and fabric and each bridesmaid can choose their own style. 

If you want the bridesmaid dresses to be the same, have your bridesmaids try on the style to see how they feel in it.  You want them comfortable on your day as well.  There are so many styles that flatter all figures.

“The dress you chose for me costs how much?”

Set an agreed-upon budget. Find a dress that is reasonable for all your ladies. Alterations may be out of their financial budget so keep that cost in mind when choosing styles.  Some sites like Azazie, let you order based on measurements which is always helpful to receive a dress that fits perfectly.  

Keep in mind that every place has an order process that may take longer than you think.  Keep a timeframe in mind so you have dresses in plenty of time before your wedding.  Ordering all the dresses at the same time will ensure the dye lot is the same.  Some fabrics will have different hues if they are ordered separately.     

“What else do we have to pay for?”

Typically bridesmaids pay for their own hair and makeup along with their dress.  They also have shoes and jewelry to consider as well.  Some of them may need to travel to your wedding and extra expenses are involved.  Consider each one of their financial obligations before you ask them to be a bridesmaid.  

“What else do you want?”

How do you want their hairstyles?  Do you want them all the have similar styles or do you care?  Do you want their shoes to be in a similar color?  What about jewelry?  So many things to consider.  

There are so many things that matter to some brides and others don’t really care about it.  Think about how you want them to look in your photos and go from there.  You are asking some of the best people to stand by your side and celebrate with you.  Most of them will be so excited to dive right in and do everything to make your day as flawless as possible.  Your closest friends will stand by your side.
