Most
people think that when it comes to a wedding day only the bridesmaid dress
matters. In reality the bridesmaids play a significant role in a wedding and
their fashion statement also requires attention. You don’t want to give an
impression that all of the dresses were brought from a cheap clearance sale.
At the same time you do not want to overpower the bridal dress giving it a
inferior feeling.
Common mistake that we usually do
Almost most of the focus is on the bride and her dress as she is
the queen of this event. The bridesmaid dress ends up as a secondary.
Planning sometimes is not good enough and you end up just selecting a colour
or pattern which ends up looking odd and does not really match with the
brides dress. You need to understand that as bridesmaids you are a vital part
of this ceremony.
DO’s and DON’T’s
- Some bridesmaid dresses end up looking more like a rug and less
of a dress. Choose a smooth and silky material. It should not be too
stiff. - Colour is another important criteria. Choose colour such as red,
purple, black , light pink if the bridesmaid dress is white . If she has
pursued some other colour and strayed away from the traditional white then
you need to do a little bit of experimentation. If she has chosen a brighter
colour its better if the bridesmaid choose a lighter one and vice
versa. - Frocks and gowns are very attractive. But you got to choose which
one is better for you. If the average no of people in the group are short
it’s better to go with the frock as they would look too short in gowns. If
tall then gowns are better. - Experiment a little bit with designs such as knots and a few
flower designs or petal designs at the edges.
