Weddings are such a joyous occasion, many couples can attest to the many painstaking hours taken during the planning process to ensure a smooth sequence of events on the actual day. 

Just when you thought the selection of your bridesmaids was the most nerve-wrecking process, here comes the most challenging part, how do you choose a bridesmaid dress?  Here are some tips we hope would help you along in the selection process.

1)  Complementing Your Wedding Theme

What are your colour choices that were made for your flowers, invitation cards and décor of venue?  When there is a wedding theme, the bridesmaid dresses could be carefully selected to complement the theme.

 

 

 

 

 

2) Keep An Open Mind

Ask your bridesmaids for their input and feedback on their preferences of design or even colours to fit your wedding theme. Communicate to them your desired wedding theme in order to narrow down selections. Most bridesmaid entourages are made up of ladies in different sizes hence search for a style that would complement most body types. Choose a classy and elegant bridesmaid dress would make your wedding pictures turn out memorable.

3) Budget

Think about who pays for their bridesmaid dresses – would it be you or the ladies? Depending on different cultures and practices, this may vary. If you are paying for all your girlfriends, come up with a budget that you can afford and not overly expensive. If the ladies are paying for their own dresses, do not be fixated on a particular design or style that is above their budget. When that happens, perhaps you would like to think of topping up the difference.


4) Enjoy the Process
