Bridesmaids

Dos And Don’ts

DO remember why you chose your bridesmaids in the first place (they are your closest friends, whom you love dearly and would never intentionally upset…). DON’T dress your friends in something hideous just so you’ll look better in comparison.

DO choose colors you like and think would look good on all of your friends (consider their complexions and hair colors). DON’T assume all colors will look great on everyone.

DO choose a style that flatters the different sizes and shapes of your bridesmaids. DON’T try to cram a tall, voluptuous bridesmaid into the exact same style as a petite, skinny brunette (that’s unfair to both girls).

DO think about everyone’s present financial situation. DON’T make the bridesmaids buy really expensive dresses unless they are all independently wealthy (a general price range for dresses is $100 to $300).
