Not many Brides want their Bridesmaids in the traditional hideous, puffy generally ugly dresses that many bridesmaids of the past were subjected to. Most brides ,I have worked with, don't want anything ugly at their wedding and want their bridesmaids to look almost as good as them (I did say almost!!).
The choice of different styles of dresses is vast, dresses can be sort, long mid length, strapless, cap sleeves, sleeveless and they can be produced in any colour under the sun! The task of finding the perfect dre
sses to complement your dress, suit your friends ( who are always different height and shapes) and slides into your theme perfectly can be quite a daunting one!
You will probably have a very good idea of what you want, an idea of colour, length, style. However, in most cases, it is the bridesmaids themselves who are paying for the dresses so you do have to take their opinions into consideration. The one thing you can insist on is the co
lour, but you may have to comprise on the style and you may even have to consider letting your bridesmaids have different style dresses. If your bridesmaids are in different style dresses make sure you order them from the same company and check that they are going to be made in the same material so they all match.
This decision has to be a collaboration, I would suggest that you and your bridesmaids sit down with a pile of brides magazines and cut out all the dresses that catch your eye. You can then all, hopefully come up with a short list of the styles and the dresses you like. I would then suggest that you go to your local dress shop and try on dresses similar to the ones on your short list. From this you all can make a decision and then you can use the web to find the best deal!! And all will be happy!!
If you have an idea in mind and it does not matter what your bridesmaids think, I would suggest that you get ready to pay for them, as you can't ask your friends to pay for a dress they may hate! There are a couple of great sites for nice dresses and more importantly they are cheap!! Light in the Box is a great one.
