Always a bridesmaid…

When choosing a bridesmaid dress for your girls you may want to think outside the box a bit. Every bride wants to believe that she has picked a dress that “they could definitely wear again”, but be realistic. Most bridesmaid dresses will be pushed to the back of a dark closet or given to good will. To try and avoid this let your bridesmaids and wedding party have a hand in choosing their attire. One way to go is to let them have complete freedom which would almost guarantee a gripe-free zone the morning of the wedding as they slip into the dress that they feel most comfortable in. If you are not as adventurous as all that, and few are; you have other alternatives; limit their options while still allowing them a variety. You can narrow down by style and fabric and let them pick the color, or choose a color and length and then let them go to town with the style. Many designer websites even let you narrow your choices by the above mentioned options and more so you can let your party know to go to the particular website and by the restrictions given it will show that they still have a multitude of choices. Remember that a happy bridesmaid will aid in being a happy bride!
