New Jersey Wedding Planner - Choosing the Best Dress for Your Bridesmaids

Bridesmaid dresses do not have a good reputation. Images of overly puffy sleeves, blinding colors and hideous hats often come to mind when the phrase is mentioned. Luckily, the reality is that we’ve made some huge strides in the dress department. Here are some tips to making sure you pick the best bridesmaid dresses for the special girls in your life.


First, choose a dress in a color you love that also complements the theme and décor of the rest of your wedding. Try to pick a dress that complements your gown as well. You can ask your bridal store consultant with help on this one.

Secondly, don’t pick a dress that costs an arm and a leg. You may be willing to spend a fortune on your own dress, but please don’t expect your bridesmaids to do the same. If you have your heart absolutely set on a specific dress that you think may be out of your friends’ budgets, consider helping them out financially.

Also, try to keep each of your bridesmaids in mind when picking the style of the dress. A-line dresses are generally flattering on nearly every body shape, and aren’t too revealing. The last thing you want is for someone who worked so hard to make your day so special feeling entirely uncomfortable during the whole celebration.


Lastly, try thinking outside the box. A lot of brides are now choosing only a color and fabric, and allowing their bridesmaids to each pick the dress style they want to wear. This allows them to feel like you’re not completely controlling them, while still giving you some say over how everything looks in the end.
