Bridesmaid Dresses: 4 Tips for Choosing the Right Look

Remember that simple, elegant designs make every body happy. Don't go over 

the top with lots of details, embellishments, and accessories.

1.Poll Your Pals

Ask your bridesmaids to go dress shopping with you, but don't bring them all at 

once if you have more than four. It will be way to hard to formulate your own 

opinion. Instead, use our bridesmaid dress search and email info about 

bridesmaid dresses you like to your friends. Listen to their feedback.

2.Fill Their Closets

Be kind -- don't ask your friends to purchase a bridesmaid dress they absolutely 

wouldn't be caught dead in ever again. Think about what your maids could do 

with the dresses after the wedding (sweater sets and skirts, little black dresses, 

and dark-colored slip dresses are all totally reusable).

3.One Size Doesn't Fit All

Search for a style that flatters the different sizes and shapes of your 

bridesmaids. A-line skirts and empire waists tend to look good on all body types.

4.Color Them Beautiful

Look for colors you like and think would look good on all of your friends 

(consider their complexions and hair colors). Brighter colors are generally more 

flattering, while pastel hues might look great on girls with fair complexions, but 

can be too distracting on friends with a darker complexion.
