We hear it over and over, how to dress the bridesmaids? One is tall, one is short, one is thin, one is fluffy------- one likes green and one looks horrible in it, one has plenty of income the others do not. How in the world is a bride supposed to find a dress that complements the wedding, carries out the theme and the color, is not dog ugly, and flatters all of the bridesmaids PLUS their pocketbooks?
It is by many accounts nearly impossible and one of the hardest pieces to fit into the wedding day puzzle.
It all begins with open and honest dialogue--- begin with price point as that decision drives all of the others. How much can your attendants afford? Will you or your family be subsidizing their wedding wear? Once you have a dollar amount in mind you can better search for dresses in your range. Style is the next big decision on the list, will your ladies wear the same style or coordinating styles? Will the color be the same for all or will you opt for some different colors and/or prints?
Begin by searching online, the options are absolutely endless. Once you have an idea of what you want in a general sense, you can begin looking in your locale area. Bridal shops will be best able to help you narrow your search in their stores when you can tell them you are looking for gowns in such an such a style in whatever price range you have in mind.
