1.Be Nice
Have no fear- you will be the most beautiful person at your wedding. So there’s no reason to make your ladies suffer with atrocious cuts or colors. Pick a hue that is complimentary to your color scheme but also to your friends’ complexions. Your choice will trump theirs every time but make sure they feel happy with the selection. Don’t choose a heavy fabric for a summer wedding; don’t choose the most expensive dress you can find. Also, consider the girls in your crew- is anyone on the heavier side? Is anyone really tall?
Nothing can ruin somebody’s good time like wearing the wrong outfit for her body type. There are plenty of designs that are good for everyone (think empire waists or A-line cuts). Of course you want your wedding photos to look amazing but you want your friends to have a lot of fun too.
2 . Cohesion
A recent trend is to have bridesmaids wear different dresses for the wedding- different cuts, different fabrics, even different colors! This can alleviate a lot of stress for your friends and help ensure that they feel great about how they look. However, this is by no means an excuse for a free for all. Every bridesmaid should not go out and buy a dress on her own. This can make for some really awkward photos! Rather, talk about it together. Figure out which shades of color will complement each other as well as the setting of the ceremony. Let each woman decide the neckline that she feels most comfortable with but agree upon a hem length. This is a simple yet effective way to create a cohesive, photographic look. And at the end of the day, it’s the photo that this struggle is really for, right?
3 .Don’t Wait
Don’t make this task the last on your to do list. It going to take a significant amount of time just to decide on what dress to wear- especially if you have a lot of bridesmaids – and that is just the first step in the process. The dresses need to be ordered, fittings need to be scheduled, matching shoes and accessories need to be found. It could take several weeks, if not months, to completely attire your bridesmaids. Be proactive and get this job out of the way so you and your friends can focus on more important decisions – like what cake to have and which wine to drink.
Most likely, your bridesmaids are the ladies nearest and dearest to you. This day is a big day for them too. Remember to keep calm and work together to sort out any issues. That way all the memories you have of your wedding are happy ones.
