Picking dresses for your bridesmaids is probably the second fun thing to do after picking your wedding gown. While it's your day, you need to put your girls into consideration.
You mustn't try to make them dread their outfits. Luckily, the bridesmaid rules have changed and both the bride and her bridal train can explore more diverse styles.
- Make them shine too!
Yes, more beads, studs and sequins to add more sparkle to the train. Of course, the right colour and styling will prevent an extra flashy look on your bridesmaids. What's more is that with all these embellishments on the dresses, they wouldn't be needing any more jewellery.
- Lengths don't matter
Gone are the days where the bride has to give a specific measurement for lengths. Now, the bridesmaids can style their dresses with any length. However, it's important to keep the bride's gown as the one longest in length.
- Lace it up
Lace has always been reserved for the bride. However, the rules have changed. Now, bridesmaids can go for a lacey flower girl look. It gives your bridal train and overall dreamy and fantasy look.
- Mixed fabrics
Again, what matters is that the colours are uniform. In that case, it doesn't matter whether one of your bridesmaids is wearing lace or the other has a more silky dress. The more diverse the materials are, the more interesting your bridal train looks.
- Double them up
Blend two wholesome pieces to create a fine blend. It will also serve as a perfect dress for a date later on.
- The unity in variety
While all colours can be uniform, you don't have to subject your bridesmaids to making the same style. Make it a lot more diverse and allow them to work out perfect styles that suit their body types.
- Allow your bridesmaids choose
Sometimes, the stress of getting aso-ebi and dresses for your bridesmaids can be overwhelming. Instead, create a group and send them your colour code. Allow your bridesmaids to choose dresses based on the colour code you have given them. Another alternative is sending them Pinterest links with ideas on dresses.
- Whiten them up
Yes, your bridesmaids can now wear white. If you're a little concerned about the spotlight being taken away from you and your husband, choose an off-white or cream shade that gives your bridesmaids a chic look.
