Be Kind to Your Bridesmaids
They'll Love You for It! |
Okay, so you may have one bridesmaid who is a perfect
size 4, but what about the others? You want your bridesmaids to
feel confident and beautiful as they walk down the aisle, too!
There are so many beautiful gowns for bridesmaids, but before you
select one, you should consider the features of the women in your
bridal party. Let's be honest, your tall and lean younger sister
may look drop-dead gorgeous in that slim pale-yellow silk gown.
But how will the rest of your friends look in it?
Here are some tips to help everyone look and feel their best!
|
|
1. Get Online! |
Ask your bridesmaids to go online
and look through bridal magazines to find something they might be
comfortable wearing. They'll appreciate you giving them the chance
to provide input.
|
|
2. To Each Her Own!
|
Consider allowing them to each wear a different style
dress. Chances are, you can still get all the dresses in similar
(or the same) colors. Many of the new lines allow you to mix and
match various styles of tops and skirts! |
|
3. Go for the
Fullest Figure
|
If you have a wide-range of figure types in your bridal
party and you want them to all wear the same gown, consider selecting
the style that will most flatter the heavier-set person. |
|
4. Isn't it Obvious? |
Think about figure flaws that aren't
always obvious. Perhaps someone is self-conscious about flabby upper-arms
that are accentuated by long gloves. Be sensitive to the issues
your bridesmaids may be self-conscious about. |

|
You want your bridal party to feel great on your
wedding day. It will reflect in the mood of your event, it will
show in your photos, and the positive energy will make you feel
great too!
Here are some good resources to use to help you get started. |
