Where there is a wedding, there are bridesmaids. Guests of honor for the bride, bridesmaids are meant to stand out in their dresses and complement the style of the wedding. Like wedding dresses, there are numerous bridesmaid dresses to chose from. Here are some that we recommend.
Choosing a Bridesmaid Dress
Here are some things to consider:
- Length: Like any dress, bridesmaid dresses can come in any length. Some brides have even opted for more modern options such as two-piece dresses or jumpsuits. Before selecting bridesmaid dresses, you’ll have to consider what kind of wedding you’ll be having. Short dresses may be better for more laid-back or beach weddings, while long gowns may be better for formal or black-tie events.
- Location: The location of the wedding will have a big influence on the type of bridesmaid dresses picked. If the wedding is at the beach, you may opt for a short or flowy dress. If it’s in a church, you may pick long gowns with sleeves. The season you are marrying in will also factor into this decision.
- Material: Bridesmaid dresses can be made from many different types of material, including chiffon, satin, organza, or tulle. If your wedding is in the warmer seasons, you’ll want a lighter fabric that breathes. If it’s in a nice resort or hotel, a more expensive option like silk may be appropriate.
