Planning Your Wedding 101: Choosing the Right Dress for Bridesmaids
Since the junior bridesmaid role falls between flower girl and bridesmaid, the girls tend to favor a more grown-up style than dresses for young flower girls. Junior bridesmaids should choose a classic and elegant but age-appropriate gown. High slits and low necklines will not suit for the dress but classic elegance always charms the wedding guests.No fashion possesses a ‘wow’ factor like the dramatic black dress. Whether a black bubble gown, black satin A-line, or black organza, nothing says ‘classic’ more than an elegant black junior bridesmaid dress. A black bubble dress with beaded shoulder straps is an example of black at its best.
Some cuts like Empire dresses can flatter many different body shapes. If the bridesmaids really can’t agree with you on the cut, you can still offer them to choose an individual dress style each, but in the same color and material – note that this is only possible if you are getting custom-made dresses. You give general directions, like for example how long the Mermaid Wedding Dresses should be, if you want it strapless or not, and they will be happy to choose the perfect style for themselves.You can also consider the fact that your maids will probably want to wear the outfit later again, so you might decide to go for a separate. They will at least be able to re-use the top.
Everybody knows it’s your day and nobody wants to take the attention away from you. That is why it is very important to find the right outfit for your girls. If you choose well, there is a chance that people will not even think about the dresses, but just truly enjoy them. If not, they will be remembered for the wrong reasons. That’s where you should be open to the opinion of your bridesmaids.
A rule of thumb that you can follow is to choose dresses for the bridesmaids which are coordinated, but not uniform. Using the example above, you can have a tall maid of honor and a petite bridesmaid. They would have different body types so instead of insisting that they both wear the exact same dress, you can have one wear a strapless bridesmaids dress while the other one could have a dress with a different style. Where you can coordinate their looks is by choosing the same material for the dress.
There’s no need for your entourage to look like robots who are all wearing the exact same garment. You can have them wear varying styles of bridesmaids dresses based on their body type, but still have that coordinated look by selecting the same material for the dress. Your bridesmaids would even thank you later on because you did not insist on having them wear the exact same garment on your big day.
