Choosing your bridal party and planning your big day with your best girls should be fun, not stressful. Here are some simple do’s and dont’s to make sure everything runs smoothly when you’re choosing and dressing your bridesmaids.

 

 

Dos

 

Think before you speak
When you become engaged, it’s easy to be carried away. As a result, you may start asking your best friends to be your bridal party. This is a decision you shouldn’t take lightly. Take time to think before you ask. Know exactly whom you want to invite. If you include family, factor in both sides. As a result, this helps avoid excluding anyone. If you include friends, consider inviting some and not others. Moreover, you’ll know quickly who you want. In other cases, the choice is tougher. Explain your decision and they’ll understand. Tell people before they hear news elsewhere.

 

Try and be flexible
When it comes to choosing bridesmaid dresses, it’s always beneficial to be open-minded and flexible. You may be catering for a group of girls of different ages, shapes, and sizes. If you have a dream dress in mind, it might not suit everyone. It’s always best to try a few different styles and to ask your maids how they feel. You should go for a dress you love. But you should also make sure your party feels comfortable. If you have a large number of bridesmaids, going for different shapes and fits works well. You can tie in the theme with similar styles and colors. For ideas and inspiration, you may find sites like www.ourstart.com helpful.

 

 

Don’ts

 

Underestimate the importance of family
It’s up to you who you choose to include in your bridal party, but don’t underestimate the importance of family. Your family will be there for you through thick and thin, and a wedding is a great way of celebrating the love you all share for each other. You may have good friends but think carefully before you decide. Your core group of friends will probably be there forever. But very few people have a vast network of friends that will stand the test of time.

 

Buy without trying
When you’re shopping for dresses, avoid the temptation to buy without trying. Dresses look completely different on a hanger, and the style and shade may not suit everyone. If you do order online, for example, 
Check the returns policy first. If you fall in love with a dress that doesn’t suit everyone, consider mixing things up. You don’t have to have the same dress for everyone. Often, going for slightly different gowns can add a unique touch to your bridal party. Check out https://uk.pinterest.com/explore/bridesmaid-dresses/ for styling tips.
