Shopping for your bridesmaid dresses is almost as important as choosing the right bridal gown for yourself. Choosing the right dress for your bridesmaids is important for 2 reasons –
1. You do not want to be * that friend * everyone talks about and cringes when they recall the dress you insured they wear.
2. They are a big part of you day, they will be close to you in a LOT of photos your friends and their dresses are a big part of you day, when you look back you do not want to be shaking your head and saying * what WAS I thinking?! *
You do not want your bridesmaids and their dresses to fade into the background, but you do not want them too over the top – if you keep a few simple things in mind, choosing the right bridesmaids dresses will not be a chore – Egypt a disaster.
Keep it simple – when you are considering bridesmaid dresses look for a simple dress that is elegant and timeless, with simple lines that is still very fashionable while still saying * special *. This type of dress will never go out of style and this means your friends can wear the dresses again and again. Often a bridesmaid dress ends up in the back of a wardrobe never to see the light of day again, and that's a lot of money to spend on a * one time * dress. A simple, off-the-shoulder, V-neck or strapless dress in a soft color can be worn to other formal events, cocktail parties etc and it will not end up stored away never to be worn again.
Choose a good fabric – if you want elegant looking bridesmaids look for a simple but rich fabric for the bridesmaid dresses – such as silk, chiffon or satin, these are elegant materials that come in a wide range of colors allowing you to pick the right color theme for your wedding. Fabrics like these do not go out of style, they are great to look at and drape well which means your bridesmaids can wear them to other functions later on.
Price matters – while you may have your heart set on high-priced designer dresses – think about your bridesmaids, they may not be able to afford a high-priced gown, even if they can wear it again. If your bridesmaids are buying their own gowns look for more moderately priced dresses. Do not forget they still have to buy shoes and jewelery and pay for hair and makeup so do not forget to help them out by considering the price of their dresses.
Try and keep your dress choice simple, elegant and stylish but budget friendly. It's a great way to keep your bridesmaids happy while still having a stunning wedding party.
