Beautiful Bridesmaids

Your bridesmaids are the complement to you and your dress and everyone needs to
look their best. If you thought deciding on your bridal dress was tricky, the issue of
selecting dresses for bridesmaids can be a minefield. However, a few pointers can
help smooth the process...
Bridesmaids are generally expected to pay for their own dress, a gentle reminder about
this could be timely. Remember to take their budgets into account when choosing outfits.
Should your bridesmaids have a wide age range consider differing dress styles in the same
colour to suit. Another option is the same style dress in different shades of color.
If you select strapless, one shoulder or halter necky styles make sure everybody has a
suitable bra - stray bra straps aren’t something you want to see.
When ordering the dresses, ensure you allow enough time to have alterations done. A
few extra weeks before the date should be plenty of time but speak to the seamstress.
It is always better to get a large size and have it taken in than letting a smaller one out..
