When picking bridesmaids' dresses, the goal is to find styles that your friends will love while ensuring they complement your wedding vision. Here are some ideas and tips to achieve this balance:
Mix-and-Match Dresses
Let your bridesmaids pick different styles in the same colour or colour family. This allows each person to choose a dress that flatters their body type and reflects their personal style.
Example: Shades of blush, navy, or emerald with varied necklines or silhouettes.
Perfect if you have bridesmaids in different shapes and sizes, each bridesmaids can pick a dress to flatter her shape
Choose a Comfortable Fabric
Chose lightweight, breathable materials like chiffon, crepe, or jersey, especially for outdoor or summer weddings.
Velvet or satin can work beautifully for winter or formal weddings by introducing a luxurious fabric to the wedding theme
Neutral Tones
Neutral colours like champagne, taupe, and blush are elegant and easy to accessorize.
Subtle floral prints or ombre designs can add a unique touch while keeping the vibe cohesive.
Think about the flowers you want and match them to the bridesmaids dresses, and to the Groomsmen’s ties/cravats
Flattering Silhouettes
A-line dresses or wrap styles tend to flatter most body types.
Avoid extreme trends and opt for classic cuts with adjustable elements, like corset backs or elastic waists.
Some bridesmaids will want their arms covered while others prefer a high neck dress
Accessorize with Style
Allow bridesmaids to personalize their look with accessories like statement earrings, shoes, or shawls. Most bridesmaids dresses are floor length so shoes wont be seen and this allows the bridesmaids to be comfortable on the day
