Top Tips in Choosing Your Bridesmaids’ Dresses



All brides want to be the main head turner on the biggest day of their lives. But that does not mean that their bridesmaids’ dresses should be unappealing to the eyes so the spotlight can forever remain on the bride and her wedding dress. No bridesmaid would want to pay for a gown that they’ll never use or wear something that makes them feel uncomfortable. But over the years, bridesmaids’ fashion has drastically changed to having a lot of stylish options that look great and complement the brides’ beautiful wedding dress. 

Not yet done shopping for the dresses of your bridesmaids? Here are some tips to consider when choosing their dresses:

1. Their dress style should match yours.

First and foremost, you should choose bridesmaid dresses that would match the style of your wedding dress. If you are going for a vintage-designed wedding dress, it would not be a good idea to have your bridesmaids dressed in modern gowns with eccentric silhouettes. If your theme is trendy and bold, you can have them wear dresses with different cuts, fabric material, or textures.

2. Choose subdued colours. 

Choosing subdued colours will make the entire entourage look classier. Also, having the dresses in a neutral or soft colour, gives your bridesmaids the opportunity to wear that dress on other occasions in the future.

3. Keep fabrics and textures simple. 

Comfort over style. You wouldn’t want your bridesmaids itching through the entire event with very textured dress material. You also should keep in mind what the temperature is on your wedding day. No bridesmaid would want to go through the horror of wearing a sweat-stained satin dress in the heat of summer. If your wedding will be in winter, choose fabrics and dress styles that will keep them warm. Also, choose styles that can allow them to move comfortably since they’d want to participate in dancing the night away too!

4. Let your bridesmaids find their own dresses. 

Instead of you dictating the dress that they should wear, why not have them choose their own dress? This can lessen the stress and hassle in finding a dress that has to cater to the liking of all your bridesmaids. This also gives them the chance to look for dresses that can fit their budget and choose something that they can wear again. Just send a colour swatch to every bridesmaid plus some pictures of the general types of dresses that they should look for.

5. Use flowers or accessories to tie things together. 

If you’ve let your bridesmaids select their own styles of dresses, use similar looking bouquets or same accessories like headpieces to bring a sense of unity back into the picture. So no matter how mismatched their dresses are, everything still looks like it’s tied together.

6. Be practical, budget-wise.

Since most of the wedding set-ups have the bridesmaids paying for their own dresses, respect their budgets. Don’t choose dresses that are way too expensive. Not everyone can afford a few hundred-dollar dress that they will be possibly wearing only once in their life. 

7. No need to overthink! 

If bridesmaids dress shopping has caused you to be stressed, there’s no need to be! Don’t worry so much about their dress details that only you would likely notice. Your guests will not remember what cut or length the dresses are. What they will remember is your walk down the aisle, your wedding vows, the first dance, and how delicious the food was. Also, don’t be afraid to ask your maid of honour to be in charge of the bridesmaids dresses. She can be the one to present you with options and give you some advice. 

8. Remember, friendships are forever.

Your wedding might be the most important day of your life but it is only one day out of thousands. Don’t let your wedding day just be about you. Let it be a wonderful celebration of love with family and friends. Never let disagreements with your bridesmaids ruin your long-time friendship just because of a dress. Always be ready to listen to their inputs and try to find ways to put differences aside. Be thankful for the wonderful friendship you’ve had and counting.
