A Bold Accessory With a Neutral Dress

Want to win the Most Considerate Bride Award? Dress your bridesmaids in an easy-to-wear neutral. We understand that what reads as “classic” and “understated” in real life can seem too drab if you (and your wedding) have lots of style and personality, so we suggest adding a pop of color in the form of a bright accessory. You can’t go wrong with a statement necklace, but also consider a brooch, vibrant shoes, or a colorful belt (rather than the standard contrasting satin sash). And bully for you if the bridesmaids can wear the accessory again later, but since you’re the one requiring them to have it, do the right thing and foot the bill yourself. You’ll be a shoo-in for that award…

One Style, Different Colors

If you’ve selected a dress style you love, don’t feel limited to choosing just one color. Your bridesmaids can wear the same dress in (preferably two) complementary hues. Then your attendants have very different coloring—for example, one’s brunette with olive skin and another’s blonde with fair skin—this works like a dream. Make sure you see the colors side by side—in person—before finalizing your choices.

One Color Palette, Any Style or Hue

Allowing your bridesmaids to choose their own dresses guarantees they’ll feel beautiful and comfortable. You have two options: Ask them to choose dresses in the exact same color, or in varying shades of that color. Set some ground rules, though: Provide them with fabric swatches—or even paint chips from the hardware store—to illustrate the range of colors you want to achieve. For maximum clarity, specify a dress length and fabric type (for example, tea-length, in cotton) to keep the looks consistent.

Patterns or Prints

Patterned dresses—florals, stripes, polka dots, plaids, and the like—bring a lively explosion of color to your photos, and to the wedding as a whole. They also bring a particularly whimsical feel to more casual, laid-back weddings, and tend to photograph extremely well in outdoor settings. Best of all, they’re among the most wear-again-able styles around.

Some Suggestions About Choosing Bridesmaid Dresses

FILED IN Bridesmaid Dresses No Comments

Bridesmaid, the maid of honor, is the next important to the bride herself. She not only stands next to the bride but also carries her flower basket and takes care of all the needs of the bride. So choosing bridesmaid dresses is as important as wedding dress.
There are several things that should be thought of when choosing bridesmaid dresses.
1. Color – the rule of thumb for buying a bridesmaid dress is that it should complement the bride’s dress. The bride is the focal point of the wedding, so it should not be distracted by anything flashy on the bridesmaid dress. You can choose soft pastel colours like cream, baby pink, soft sea blue, lilac are much in vogue.
2. Fabric- this aspect of the dress is very important. Fabric should be smooth and comfortable on your body. You should be able to carry it off. Choosing fabric should also depend on weather, the time of the year when the ceremony is to be held. Summers call for lighter fabric, while for winters heavier is good.
3. Place of wedding- nowadays, when couples are experimenting with new places to get married like underwater or sky, this aspect holds great importance. For a ballroom wedding, dress can be flowy, but on the contrary for a beach wedding, length of the dress needs to be cut short and fabric drip free.
4. Length of dress – you can choose between floor length or tea length dress. Now this decision rests primarily upon two factors – (a) Age of Bridesmaid – A very young girl, may not be able to carry floor length dress and trip over to create a pandemonium on the final day. (b) For a beach location wedding, a tea length bridesmaid dress is the best. Decide on the length keeping these factors to avoid any embarrassing situation.
5. Style – The key point when choose a right style is based on the bridesmaids’ body type. You should choose one that can enhance their strengths and cover the weaknesses.
6. Accessories- in the anxiety to buy the perfect bridesmaid dress, we usually tend to forget the accessories.
(a) Jewelry – keep them simple. A pearl set looks classy or you can simply try danglers to dramatize the look.
(b) Flowers – match the colour of your dress with flowers. It will greatly accentuate the complete look.
(c) Shoes – comfortable shoes of the right height is the key to a good dress. A biting shoe might force you to sit through the dance party and that for sure will be utterly miserable.

Things You Should Consider Before Choosing Birdesmaid Dresses

FILED IN Bridesmaid Dresses No Comments

Before selecting the bridesmaid dresses, it is important to consider the overall theme and feeling of the wedding itself. Is the wedding formal? What will be the setting of the location and the reception? Also, are there colors established for the wedding?
And you should also think about the bridesmaids. Although the day is certainly to highlight the bride, you would not wish to choose a dress that may make a bridesmaid feel uncomfortable due to fit concerns.
The most commonly used method of selecting a bridesmaid dress is to go to a bridal shop and view its selection, make a choice and ask your bridesmaids to try one theses dresses. The advantages to this are that you have the expertise of wedding professionals as well as a selection of dresses that match and come in a variety of colors.
A new option many brides are choosing at bridal boutiques is to offer the same color dress in different styles. For example, one bridesmaid can choose a halter top design while another who prefers strapless can purchase this style. The benefit of this is that your bridesmaids are able to choose what best flatters their figures, yet the bridesmaids are still able to look uniform.

Several Places To Find Cheap Bridesmaid Dresses

FILED IN Bridesmaid Dresses No Comments

A bride has two major considerations when choosing bridesmaid dresses. The first, of course, is style. The second is cost. Bridesmaid dresses should be affordable. If one or all members of the bridal party can’t afford the cost of a designer dress, your best bet is to find cheap bridesmaid dresses. Here are several places to find cheap bridesmaid dresses.
1. Rentals
Rental shops offer dresses in current styles at about half the price of a new dress. In addition, all of the cleaning and steaming is done for you. But it might be difficult to find sizes in a single style to fit everyone. Alterations may be an issue too. You can’t always alter rental dresses.
2. Cheap Bridesmaid Dress Consignment
A consignment store, especially one specializing in wedding wear, is a great place to shop for cheap bridesmaid dresses. If the dress has been previously worn, it will cost less than its original price tag. Consignment shops are an excellent source for designer dresses too, especially if the shop is in an upscale area. As with rental shops, you may not find dresses to outfit every member of your bridal party and alterations may be an issue. Most wedding consignment shops don’t usually have this problem though.
3. Department Stores
Just check out their formalwear or dressy dress section. Since department stores stock many different sizes, you have a good chance of being able to outfit your entire bridal party. Most department stores usually have an alterations expert on the premises, but if the dress doesn’t fit properly it can also be taken to a seamstress.
4. Bridal Shops
Bridal Shops may offer a discount on styles that aren’t best sellers or that are from a previous year’s line. Contact the bridal shop first to see if they have a clearance section. You may even purchase the dresses off the rack. Remember, when you’re browsing clearance items, you may not find a dress in sizes to fit your entire bridal party. If you must, you can always go up a size or two and have the dress taken in.
5. Online
Finally, you can shop over the internet. Many online shops will help you find cheap bridesmaid dresses in your price range and they must have plenty of inexpensive options. The only problem with ordering a dress online is that you can’t try it on to see how it looks. Some discount outlets won’t let you return the dress either.
Finding a cheap bridesmaid dress may take a little time, but it’s definitely worth it!

Choose Pretty Bridesmaid Dresses

FILED IN Bridesmaid Dresses No Comments

Your bridesmaids will most likely come in a variety of shapes and sizes and you want to find bridesmaids dresses that you like and that all the girls will feel comfortable and pretty.
It is important to be open minded rather than have a specific idea of what the dresses have to look like. If you are open minded, you are more likely to find a great dress that will be flattering on everyone and affordable. Take a couple of the girls with you to the dress stores. You can get an idea which styles are more flattering than others by seeing them on one of your bridesmaids.
Where to shop? Check out the department stores in your area along with other boutiques and shops that may have nice formal wear. When you find the right bridesmaids dress, you will be able to order it in pretty much any size, plus if you get your wedding gown there, the bridesmaids will get discounts on their dresses if they are all ordered at the same time.
A great cut that flatters most bodies is an A-line, empire waist halter-top with the option of a shawl. Another great option that formal wear stores have available is an A-line skirt, with a variety of tops that the bridesmaids can choose from, called “Mix and Match”. They will all have the same color and basic style, with a different top.
Another option is taking the bridesmaids to the store or website and the color the dress has to be, and then they can pick out their dress and all have a different dress, but in the exact same color. A different dress for each bridesmaid is a neat way to let each girl still be individual but still match or coordinate in the wedding.
Even though it’s your wedding and you want everything a certain way to be perfect, try to be accommodating so that your bridesmaids will be in dresses that will actually look good and be flattering. Don’t be too picky!
