A themed wedding
If you are having a wedding theme then you should choose your bridesmaid dresses in accordance with that theme. For instance a medieval theme could call for more costume style dresses in a maiden or peasant girl style, or a 1930’s glamour theme could see them in elegant floor length silk gowns.
Budget bridesmaid dresses
Your bridesmaid dresses not only need to fit with the style or theme of your wedding but they also need to be within budget. When you began your wedding planning you should have set aside a portion of your budget for bridesmaid dresses & accessories (if you are paying for them). Or you will need to take into consideration what your bridesmaids can afford if they are paying for the dresses themselves. However, if they cannot afford a dress in the same price range as the other bridesmaid’s choices then you should offer to pay for it or share the cost.
Bridesmaid dresses for a large wedding?
If you are having a large wedding you may want to look at dressing your bridesmaids in different but coordinating dresses, which is a key trend at the moment, or dress the bridesmaids in a different dress to the maid of honor.
Large bridesmaids?
If some of your bridesmaids are plus size, then you may have to be extra considerate with your choice of dress. Bridesmaid dress designers & manufacturers are becoming more appreciative of plus size girls & are producing ranges that will either go in to plus sizes or designs specifically designed for plus sizes. Try to ensure that all your bridesmaids are happy & comfortable with your choices.
Shoes to match your bridesmaid dresses
Shoes can be a very personal choice. Some are more comfortable in flats whilst others love high heels. Whilst you may crave a fully coordinated look for your bridesmaids, they may not thank you for making wear excruciatingly painful shoes all day long.
Many bridal shoe manufacturers offer dyeable shoes in a range of styles - flats to heels, mules to sandals, so your bridesmaids can choose the style of shoe which suits them best & have them died to match their dresses.
