How To Make Bridesmaids Happy With Their Bridesmaid Dresses

Leave a comment

It’s your wedding. Although it was an exhausting week, you’re happy. But if you look carefully at your bridesmaids, they are not exulting. It’s your big day and you think they at least should be happy for you, right? Well, they may be happy for you, but not with the bridesmaid dresses you picked. What went wrong?

The Bridesmaids Matter

It’s your wedding all right, but that doesn’t mean that you’re the only one who should look beautiful. Your bridesmaids play a big role in the ceremony and they should look fantastic, confident, and oozing with poise. A lot of this depends on the bridesmaid dresses you picked.

Choosing the right bridesmaid dresses is even more important than choosing the wedding photographer and the florist. You’re buying or renting dresses for your bridesmaid who are your bosom friends. When the bride loses sight of the importance of the bridesmaids’ gowns or dresses, things are sure to boomerang on the wedding day.

Well, the bride may delay giving the bridesmaids clear instructions about the purchase of the dresses until her own wedding dress and everything in-between is settled. When the date nears her wedding day, she panics, picks out a design she likes best without consulting the bridesmaids, and sends it all out to them.

When the bridesmaids try them on, the measurements are all wrong and there’s nothing much she can do but rush it to the bridal shop for some alterations. The agony the bridesmaids have to go through just to assemble themselves for the wedding day can be mind boggling and if they have to wear lumpy dresses – that would be too much.

Of course, they’ll put on a smile, but your wedding won’t be as pleasantly memorable to them as it is to you. They’ll recoil at the thought of what they had to endure. You should remember that your choice of bridesmaid dresses may not necessarily actually look good on your bridesmaids. That’s precisely why you shop for the dresses with your bridesmaids so they can put in their two cents worth.

Make Your Bridesmaids Happy With the Right Dress

If you want to make your bridesmaids as happy as you are on the big day, you should get them bridesmaid dresses that would bring out the best in them. Here are some friendly tips to get you through:

* Allow them to pick a few designs they like and have them all try on the same dress. Then choose narrow down your choices to at least three.

* Tell them what you have in mind, but don’t forget to ask them about their thoughts or ideas on the dresses. Ask them what they like and what they’re comfortable with. And with their help, choose a dress that looks good on all of them. This is not always possible, though, if you’re working around a budget.

Women have different bodies and skin tones. In this case, the best thing to do (that is if your budget allows you to) is to reach a compromise. A great way to do this is by getting each bridesmaid a dress of their choice. Just pick out a material of the same color that can be used on all dresses so that they look coordinated and choose a color scheme that will complement their skin tones.

This way, the bridesmaid dresses will serve the wearers while still blending perfectly with your motif. In the end, everybody is happy – the bridesmaids with their dresses and yourself for the job well done.

Beach Wedding – 4 Tips for Buying Bridesmaid Dress

Leave a comment

Beach weddings often indicate an occasion that is less glamorous compared to the traditional weddings. This does not mean though that the bride and the bridesmaids need not get glammed up. They have to – just not over the top – because it wouldn’t look good in the laid back setting of the ocean behind them.

1. For beach wedding bridesmaid dresses, just make sure that the length of the gowns do not touch the sand. Ideally, the length is up to the calf. Bridesmaids must still look elegant but they should also be wearing dresses that allow them to easily walk on the beach.

These dresses can either be with sleeves or strapless but these should also match with the gown or the dress of the bride. Whatever style the bride’s beach wedding dress is, it should be complemented by the beach wedding bridesmaid dresses.

2. The bride’s beach wedding dress and the beach wedding bridesmaid dresses should also have matching hem lengths. For example, if the bride is wearing a gown that is of full length, then the bridesmaids should wear dresses or gowns of any length.

However, if the bride’s beach wedding dress is shorter than the traditional gown, then the beach wedding dresses must also be short.

3. If the beach wedding bridesmaid dresses are strapless or are backless, then the bride must order wraps for them. Remember that the weather on the beach is so unpredictable. There is a possibility that the wedding day may be windy or cloudy.

Therefore, when the bride is buying beach wedding bridesmaid dresses, she should also look for designs that already have matching wraps. If not, then she must go to bridal shop or a formal wear shop that sells these items. She just has to set the wraps and the beach wedding bridesmaid dresses side by side to check that these match.

4. Also note that it is hard to walk on the sand so there is no point to wear stocking and heels. Dressier dresses require strappy sandals with short heels. If it is a more casual design, then one can just opt for flip flops with stylish decorations. Go for a bare look.

How To Avoid Ending Up With Dreaded Bridesmaid Dresses

Leave a comment

When one is singled out as a bridesmaid, the nightmare begins. Bridesmaids have to buy the bridesmaid dresses they’ll have to wear only once and on duress. Thankfully, this is going out of style and bridesmaids are getting to enjoy their fashionable dresses without spending a dime.

The Dreaded Dresses are Passe

Ask the sorority of ex-bridesmaids about their experiences with their bridesmaid dresses, and you’ll have an earful of embarrassing stories of having to wear dresses colorful as Easter eggs, or dresses that revealed their wide rears, broad shoulders, and flabby arms.

The dreaded dresses were usually look-alike ensembles of unmentionable colors and prints. The point was bridesmaids were extensions of the wedding theme and therefore, their dresses had to be identical in cut, color, and design; hence, having different shapes for each of the bridesmaid was unheard of. The bridesmaid could not complain, even if they had to pay for the bridesmaid dresses or monstrosities they would never wear again, much less think about.

But the dreaded dresses are on the way out. Brides are realizing the folly of coercing their bridesmaids to spend for dresses they never want to see again. Luckily for everybody, designers have come up with fashionable bridal outfits and have incorporated new trends, unusual but lovely colors, color coordinates, and the combination of elegant fabrics.

Going out of style are the bridesmaid dresses with wallpaper patterns, gothic colors, shiny and shimmering fabrics that accentuated body flaws, and those oh so puffy sleeves and other quaint artifacts of another age that sent young women to murderous rages.

Shopping For Bridesmaid Dresses

Brides are surprised that shopping for the dresses for the girls can be as critical as buying the bridal gown. Shopping for the dresses can be fun yet exhausting, so before you set out, make a checklist of the details and make sure that everybody’s choices are clearly specified.

These tips will help you avoid ending up with unsuitable dresses:

* Together with your friends, check out the latest wedding fashion magazines.
* You can choose the color and length of the dress, but let them choose the style.
* Have all the girls fit the gowns before making an order and let them choose the dresses.
* Check out the fabrics and the design of the dresses, especially if these come with big discounts.
* Before making a final order, make sure that all measurements are accurate.
* If gowns are to be rented, personally check each piece of clothing for any stains or defect prior to delivery, so there won’t be any arguments or misunderstandings later on.

To gauge how well you’ve done with the bridesmaid dresses, answer this question honestly – would you like to wear the dress again? If you’ve answered yes, you’ve selected an outfit they’ll be proud to wear anywhere.

Your bridesmaids will feel the same way if you’ve given them the flexibility to choose a color, cut, or style that would balance their figures and complexion and emphasize their individuality.

Friends First and Bridesmaids Next

Friends will go to lengths to please you, so go the extra mile to choose the bridesmaid dresses that wouldn’t put your friendships to the test. Your friends will be there for you and jump through hoops to make your wedding a memorable one.
