A Guide to Bridesmaids Dresses

By John Jones


Inviting the special women in your life to be your bridesmaids; your sisters, your lifelong friends, your cousins and special family friends; is a way to seal important friendships during this very special time in your life. Choosing the bridesmaids dress, whether you do it yourself or together with your bridesmaids, is an integral part of the tradition.Naturally, it's the bride who will be the focus of attention on her wedding day, but it's important for the bridesmaids to look gorgeous too. Choose something simple and not overdecorated or detailed, but which will make your bridesmaids look elegant, sophisticated and feminine.

When it comes to color matching bridesmaid dresses, one should not only focus on color, but also the texture and the luster of the fabric. In this article let's look at four fun color matches, which could give you some fresh ideas for your wedding:

First of all, such a dress should be modest. What it should do is to compliment your bridal gown and emphasize its features and not distract guests. This becomes especially important when your bridal party consists of more than one or two brides. When there are many people before the altar it is very easy to lose focus and forget who deserves the biggest attention on that day. Therefore, you should avoid flashy and vivid colors, controversial dresses, or original and controversial designs. A straight, simple dress covering the knees is always a good choice. You should not add any accessories as well. Every bridesmaid will probably wear her own jewelry so there is absolutely no need for gilding up a lily. Therefore, the first feature of a perfect bridesmaid dress is modesty.

Another thing you ought to remember is that its color should match the bridal gown. As it was already mentioned, this dress should emphasize the dress of a bride, so that is why you need it to be in a matching color. One will probably say that every color matches white, but that is not the case with a wedding dress. Every color matches white but not every color compliments white. Therefore, the colors you are looking for are silver or gray. No matter how large your bridal party is, gray or silver dresses will never distract the guests or divert their attention, no matter how numerous they are. If you do not want to risk spoiling the ceremony by choosing wrong colors for your bridesmaid dresses, pick gray or silver. They are always a safe bet.

Any kind of formal gown, semi-formal or evening dress can be chosen as a bridesmaids gown, so you have literally thousands of options. Satin, organza, chiffon, georgette, tulle, lace, brocades, and crepe are all classic fabrics for bridesmaid dresses. Whether you choose real silks and imported laces, or more economical alternatives will depend on your budget.
