How to Choose Bridesmaids Dresses for ALL Shapes and Sizes.


You’ve found “the dress” and now it’s time to find dresses for your best girlfriends standing by your side - your Bridesmaids! Your ladies should feel confident standing next to you, so how do you find one that looks amazing on everyone?

Consider these options:

Choose a color palette instead of one particular hue.

Want all your bridesmaids to wear the same dress? There are universal styles to flatter all body types, so let your bridal consultant know this is what you want and they’ll be more than happy to show you those options.

Some sites to help you get started: BHLDN, David’s Bridal, Lulus

For my own wedding, I went the route of letting them choose their own dresses with photo examples & a guide regarding: color, length, and overall style. My bridesmaids were so excited to start shopping and to show me pictures of what they found! On wedding day, they looked gorgeous and complemented each other so well!

Whatever you decide, remember to enjoy the process!
