Not every look suits every bridesmaid, but that doesn't have to make the process stressful! Here are a few simple tips to make your best friends look picture-perfect on your wedding day.
FOCUS ON FLATTERING SILHOUETTES
Dress shapes such as a modified A-line or shift are going to be key—think Jackie and Audrey. These cuts can be tailored to look just right on every bridesmaid and are fairly easy to find. Another universally flattering silhouette is the fit and flare. Grace Kelly always looked stunning in this style.
DON’T BE AFRAID TO GET YOUR BRIDESMAIDS INVOLVED
One way to take the guesswork out of finding the perfect style is to bring a few of your gal pals shopping with you. This way, you get an idea of how different dresses look on different body types. (Also means you don’t have to keep texting photos back and forth!).
CONSIDER A CUSTOM CHOICE
One of our very favorite ideas is to have custom dresses created. It ensures that each bride gets exactly what she wants, the bridesmaids look gorgeous and any potential fit issues can be addressed. Win-win!
BE OPEN TO SUGGESTION
Just like you, your bridesmaids know exactly what dress type flatters them and what does not. Be open their opinions and take what they say into consideration.

Each one comes with a silver lining!
White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity.

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
Why yes! This does come in pink! When it comes to choosing the perfect accent color for your bridal shower dress, pink is a gorgeous choice. Not only is pink a beautiful bridal party color, but it also adds an unexpected element to your stunning little white dress.
