23. First and foremost - Being a bridesmaid is hard work, make sure you thank your maids for everything they have done!

24. Remember to consider your bridesmaids' budgets. These are the most important women in your life - make sure they stay that way.

25. When choosing your bridesmaid style, keep in mind all the different body types you have in your party.

26. Just like your gown, have your bridesmaids professionally measured so the bridal salon can help you choose the best size. Sometimes dresses run smaller than you think.

27. Have a hard to fit bridesmaid? Separates may be the way to go. This will give you the most customized look and make your maids more comfortable.

28. Keep your bridesmaid dresses simple and complementary; it will help your dress be the center of attention!

29. Consider the weather! Shawls make excellent accessories for brisk weather weddings.

30. Color is still the best way to express style. Stick to one, two or three hues and carry them throughout your whole wedding story.

31. When choosing your bridesmaid color, consider the location of your ceremony and reception. The lovely lilac you had your heart set on may not go well with the deep red carpet in the church.

32. Don't be scared of trying something unique. Some brides choose to highlight their Maid of Honor in a special complementary color while other brides will do a color run of the same gown. Whatever you do, make sure the colors you have chosen work together.

33. A perfectly matching shoe completes the look of a colorful bridesmaid. If this isn’t possible or preferred, go one shade darker than the color of the dress or go with a nude, silver, or gold sandal.

34. Jewellry makes a great gift for your bridesmaids. Not only can they wear it on your big day, they have something special to remember it for a lifetime.

35. With the exception of your Maid of Honor, line your bridesmaids up from shortest to tallest.
