Bridesmaids Dresses - Free Wedding Planner for Brides on a Budget

It is important that your bridesmaids feel confident and beautiful as they walk down the aisle and celebrate at the reception! Help everyone enjoy your wedding and your wedding will be more fun for everyone! Just follow a few simple guidelines. Your bridesmaids will be paying for their gowns and all your friends will be at the wedding so they want to look good too!

There are so many beautiful gowns for bridesmaids, but before you select one, you should consider the features of the women in your bridal party. Your tall, lean friends may look gorgeous in that slim pale-lime green silk gown. But how will the rest of your bridal party look? Remember those with the great shapes will look good in almost anything. Try to select the dress style based on the figure with the most to hide.

Here are some tips to help everyone look and feel they're best and help keep the total wedding party happy and looking good!

1. Ask for help!
	Ask your bridesmaids to look through bridal magazines or web sites to find three of four dresses they might be comfortable wearing. They'll appreciate you giving them the chance to provide input. Consider a girl's afternoon trying on gowns with you treating everyone for lunch.
2. Mix & Match
	If you have short, tall, wide, lots of different body shapes in your bridal party, consider allowing them to each wear a different style dress. Some of the new lines allow you to mix and match various styles of tops and skirts! This is a great option when shapes differ.
3. Go for the Largest
	If you want your bridesmaids to wear the same style, consider selecting the gown that will most flatter the heavier-set person
4. Figure flaws
	Think about figure flaws that aren't always obvious or that your friends have talked about. Perhaps someone is self-conscious about flabby upper-arms or big hips. Take these expressed feelings into consideration.

When your bridal party feels as great as you do on your wedding day it will be reflected in your photos and videos. When we feel good about how we look we just have more fun and when people have fun they will talk about your wedding for months and years to come.
