Choose Clothes for the Bridesmaids – Ideas for Wedding
Allow plenty of time for clothes to be made to take account of late fittings and any adjustments, particularly if any young bridesmaids are still growing. Younger bridesmaids may not take a very active part in decision-making and their mothers will get involved instead.
□ Liaise with the bridesmaids and/or their mothers to ensure color and style co-ordination
□ Discuss whether their outfits will be purchased, hired or specially made and who will pay
□ Agree a suitable style, taking into account the personality, proportions, height and figure of each one (accentuate good points and minimize the rest)
• length and shape of dress
• sleeves (depending on the time of year)
• trimmings and decoration
• fabric (depending on the time of year)
□ Agree on the color, taking into account the color of hair and complexion of each bridesmaid
Headdress
□ Choose an appropriate style to complement the dresses and any decorative features, and to suit the proposed hairstyle of each bridesmaid on the wedding day
• circlet of fresh or silk flowers • a single bloom • cluster of flowers • ribbons trimmed with flowers • a hat
