Shop appropriately
Decide whether you want to be shopping alone or with others. Having your bride squad with you or not can be a blast and can be stressful. It’s important to decide between the two to make your shopping experience better.
Money honey!
If you’ve been a bridesmaid before you know that you pay for your own bridesmaid dress. It’s a good idea to keep in mind your bridesmaid’s life circumstances when searching for dresses. An option to have on the table is offering the bridesmaids to pick out their own dresses; you would just let them know what color you selected, this allows a more comfortable situation for bridesmaids to pick a dress at their own price range.
Color
Whether it’s going off of your color palette for your wedding or a compliment to those colors. Go on the other end of the spectrum! Picking out different shades of bridesmaid dresses is the rage right now. It’s a fun way to change things up in a unique way.
Timely Manner
Schedule things out! Leave room for error, having a 5-8 month time slot for ordering the dresses along with time for alternations to be done. This buys you more time for even after fittings your bridesmaids may still need more alterations done, so there will still be time!
Intimates
Ladies, we all know the right bra makes or breaks certain outfits; especially dresses! Making sure your bridesmaids get the right kind of intimates that go accordingly with the type of dress is super important. This can be a new bra, strapless or not, a new type of undergarment or Spanx!
