What about your Girls?

Bridesmaids' dresses have a bad reputation of being ugly and, unfortunately, some definitely live up to that expectation. I think this may have to do with the fact that the bride may pick a dress color and style that she thinks is pretty, but it doesn't fit the bridesmaid's body or skin tone; therefore, the dress looks very unattractive. I mean I don't think the bride intentionally went and picked out an ugly dress so that her bridesmaids wouldn't look good (but I guess you never know with some brides).
Here are some ways for a bride to avoid traumatizing a bridesmaid with a dress:

• Pick a color and let the bridesmaid pick the style in that color that best fits her body. Although this doesn't fit the skin tone matching it does allow a bridesmaid to pick something she will be comfortable in all night and not self-conscious.
• Pick a color and let the bridesmaid pick the tone or hue of that color. Your bridesmaids will still all match, they will just be in a more complimenting color of their skin tone.
• Let them know what color you want and they can pick a different style and hue of that color to have a dress style and color that fit them best.
• OR you could just tell them a theme you want to follow and they can find a dress for the theme! Ex. Country themed – they all pick out a cute little floral sundress and wear boots. They don’t have to match each other but they still definitely go with the wedding.

There are many options to help ensure that your bridesmaids are beautiful and comfortable in what they're wearing! Check them out!
