Brides: 5 Tips to Pick the Best Bridesmaid Dress



With all the prices, colors, shapes, and styles of bridesmaid dresses nowadays you must be ready to go out shopping and make the best most affordable choice according to your likes, and most importantly on point with your bridesmaids’ budget.
These tips will help you overcome the 5 most common issues that tend to overwhelm brides when choosing the dress they want for their bridesmaids.

1.       First of all, set a budget.
And the dress should not, under any circumstances exceed that price.
Your bridesmaids might already be doing a great effort by pay over $100 for a dress that they will only wear one time.

2.       Make sure you pick the dress.
Unless you will allow the bridesmaids to pick the style, you should not allow them to take control over the decision of which dress you want in your wedding.

3.       Be gentle with the body types and the styles.
Although the bridesmaids might wear anything you like best just for you on your big day, you should also consider having mercy for that friend of yours whose boobs look like they want to pop out of that tiny sweetheart you saw on perfectbridesmaid.com. I bet a sheer shawl won’t look too bad on your photos. And there are plenty of other ideas that will help you accommodate your bridesmaids without sabotaging your dream wedding.

4.         Be careful with the total cost. Do all the research!
One of the issues that have had bridesmaids quit is the fact they didn’t know that the dress was $100, plus $80 for alterations. Make sure you do your research on how much the alteration charges would be, just in case they need to alter the dress.

5.       Make a decision in a timely matter.
Both the bride and the bridesmaids need time. If you’re planning to have them order their dresses, you should allow at least 6 months. This is, in case they will do any alterations, and of course, to be ready for the expenses.

Hope the tips helped!

Your Bridesmaid Duties

Owning a shop has allowed me to see what some brides expect from their bridesmaids. Some are very easy going, even allowing the bridesmaids to choose the dress and sometimes the color of their dress, and some to the extreme expecting their bridesmaids to pay for everything from the dress to their flowers. Some have even provided the bridesmaid with a contract.

In my personal opinion, some brides just go too far. They think that because their friend agreed to be a bridesmaid, that gives them full authority over their finances and time.

The roll of a bridesmaid is to help the bride along with planning where she needs it. Bridesmaids usually go bridal gown shopping with the bride and help pick out the brides perfect dress. The Bridesmaid will also help plan the bacholerrete party along with the other bridesmaids and maid of honor.

If you are asked to be a bridesmaid, be sure you understand what the bride expects from you and the costs that you will incur. If you are a bride, be sure to give your potential bridesmaid what is expected of them. Bridesmaids usually pay for their Bridesmaid dress and shoes. Their hair, Flowers and makeup are usually covered by the bride. If the bride cannot afford the hair and makeup (it can be expensive), then the bridesmaids are given the choice to pay for them or do their own hair and makeup.
