| 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.
