How to find the right bridesmaid dresses for your wedding!

What kind of bridesmaid dresses your bridal attendants should should wear depends on the type of wedding you end up having.

You should select bridesmaid dresses that are not only complementary to your wedding dress ...

... but you also need to consider whether your choice of dress is also affordable for your bridesmaids, who often don't have the same budget as you do for your dress.

Bridesmaid dresses for a large wedding?

If you have a large wedding party, you might want to select different dresses for your attendants other than the maid/matron of honor. Then you can come up with a special dress for your maid of honor that has extra-special touches to let her shine.

Secondly, keep in mind what will look best on your bridesmaids as you make your selection. Slightly overweight bridesmaids will feel uncomfortable in tight bridesmaid dresses that don't complement their figures — and your tomboyish friends won't want to wear ruffles and frills.

Shoes should be selected based on their style and comfort level. And bridesmaids can also be asked to choose shoes to suit their tastes in an appropriate color if you'd like — taking the pressure off of you to choose for them.

SHOPPING TIP: You can find a wide range of bridesmaid dresses online, but I recommend that all shoe purchases are made in person by the bridesmaids themselves.
