Tips on Choosing Perfect Bridesmaid Dresses

When it comes to choosing bridesmaid dresses online, it is the bride's privilege to select the colour and type of fabric of the dresses. The bridesmaid dress should complement the bride's gown, but it should also be comfortable and attractive for the attendants. Consideration should be given to the bridesmaids' styles, colour preferences, their figure types as well as their budgets.

1. Make sure they look great
Despite what you may have heard, it is absolutely in your best interest to find gorgeous bridesmaids gowns. Your bridesmaids, and therefore, your wedding party will look fantastic. They'll also appreciate your making them look great, and will more likely have great attitudes in the lead up to, and during, the wedding. Don't even bother worrying if they'll outshine you- you'll be the natural centre of both visual and social attention on your big day!
2. Size and shape
It's easy to forget that your bridesmaids will most likely come in different shapes. If they're all wearing the same dress, ensure that the cut is universally fitting. Sweetheart necklines, A-line skirts and medium- tick straps tend to suit most women.

3. Keep their preferences in mind
A great idea is to devise a list of your bridesmaids' 'absolutes' and 'preferences'. An 'absolute' request could be nothing above the knee for a religious friend, for example, whilst a preference could be a cut which shows off her waist. Consolidating this information in one spot could enable you to find a cut which suits everyone’s tastes, which you love.
4. Stick to their budgets
If you are asking bridesmaids to pay for their own dresses, make sure you choose something that isn’t extortionately expensive. Glossy wedding magazines are full of designer bridesmaids dresses, but you can often find something similar for a fraction of the price.
