Be nice when choosing your bridesmaid dresses
You have chosen your dream dress, you and your future husband
have decided on the wedding party and the bridesmaids are anxious
to see what their dresses are going to look like. When choosing
your bridesmaid dresses, don't forget to keep their emotions and
tastes in mind!
Remember that although this is your big day, your bridesmaids
have decided to share in your joy and help you make lasting
memories. And one of the biggest ways that you can include them in
the merriment is to ask them to help you with the decision. In
other words, in addition to your own ideas, find out what their
likes and dislikes are. After all, if they're not happy with your
choice and they feel uncomfortable, it will show in your wedding
photos.
Compliment your bridesmaids' figures, hair colour and
complexions when choosing their dresses. You can still be the
centre of attention while allowing your wedding party to glow and
shine behind you. Be sure to have your bridesmaids try on several
styles and colours and let them choose one or two of their
favourites to help you make your decision.
As important as comfort is for you, it is just as important for
your girls. So, when choosing the bridesmaids dresses, look for
comfort in the fit and the style. If you are a courteous bride,
thinking of their needs while tending to your own, it will be
appreciated by your wedding party and they will be more willing to
help you.
If you've ever been bridesmaid yourself, then you likely
understand how important it is to consider cost when choosing the
bridesmaid dresses. While you may be working on a wedding budget,
keep in mind that your wedding party also may be hoping for
affordable attire. Talk to your bridesmaids and ask them how much
they are willing to spend.
Be sure while choosing bridesmaids dresses you record everything
in a notebook so that you won't forget or lose the valuable
information. Through the chaos of planning the rest of the wedding,
it could be all too easy to forget sizes, styles, alteration
decisions, and how much is owed on the dresses. Keeping everything
in a notebook will help you stay organized and feel less
stress.
After the bridesmaids dresses have been decided on, don't forget
to ask about fittings. Find out how many fitting will be needed for
each girl and exactly what the cost is for each one of them. Write
down times and dates to help your wedding party remember and if
possible, let the bridesmaids schedule the appointments themselves
to ensure it is a good time for them.
Now you have chosen the bridesmaids dresses, they are happy
about the colour, style and fit. Don't forget the shoes! Remember
to tell your bridesmaids whether they are to wear flats or pumps.
And if you want them dyed to match the dresses, let them know and
give them time to prepare. As long as you use respect and common
courtesy, you will most likely have a happy wedding party thus
giving you a beautiful, happy day to remember.
