As the bride-to-be, you’re in charge of not just your bridal attire, but your wedding party’s as well. Choosing bridesmaid dresses can be stressful and difficult, especially if you have been planning the wedding with your best friends, who are likely to have different tastes and styles than you.
Here are five helpful tips that will make it easier to choose the perfect bridesmaid dresses and keep everyone happy at your wedding!
1) Set a Budget
It’s important to set a budget before shopping, so that you don’t spend more money than you can afford. This can be hard to do without trying on dresses, but here are five tips to help you find a good deal:
– Look at stores like ChicSew UK and ChicSew, which have chic and reasonably priced dresses in lilac color, royal blue color and burgundy color.
– Set a spending limit so that you don’t go over your budget.
– Make sure it’s not too early in the season when buying summer dresses. You can get better deals closer to summertime or late spring. For bridesmaid’s dresses, there is no such thing as too early because the wedding will take place year round. Be patient and wait for lower prices because of this lack of time constraint.
– Try department store websites like Macy’s
– Comparison shop between dress boutiques and department stores
– Shop around using price comparison sites like Google Shopping
– Get creative by borrowing some of your sister’s clothing items such as jewelry, shoes or purses
2) Consider Your Venue
You’ll want to consider your venue and how it will affect what colors you choose. For instance, if you’re planning on getting married at a beach or near water, a lilac color might not be the best choice for your bridesmaids. Likewise, royal blue would make more sense than burgundy if your wedding was being held in a historic building with dark wood floors. However, if you want to play up certain colors in your decor or florals, it may work better to go with those colors as opposed to neutrals like black and white.
You’ll want to make sure that whatever color you choose is flattering to all of your attendants.
The last thing you want is a room full of bridesmaids in dresses they absolutely hate or don’t look good in. Another consideration is the weather, if you have an outdoor wedding then darker colors may be better suited than lighter ones as they will go well with shades and tones of green and blue. However, if it’s a particularly hot day, a light-colored dress may be too much for one of your attendants. If there are any specific colors used in your decor or florals you could try selecting those colors to ensure that everyone stands out but doesn’t clash with anything else going on during your wedding day.
3) Choose a Color Scheme
You know that your wedding day is going to be a big deal, and you want to make sure that all of your bridesmaids are looking their best. So it’s essential to choose the perfect dresses for them. With so many options, it can be hard to decide which color will work best. To help you find an ideal dress color, we put together some tips on how to select a color scheme:
1) Select a Color Scheme – There are many different colors of bridesmaid dresses out there (lilac color of ChicSew UK, royal blue of ChicSew, burgundy color), so take some time to think about what you envision your wedding day feeling like.
2) Identify The Color Palette of Your Wedding – Every color has a different meaning, so when you’re picking bridesmaid dress colors, think about your wedding and what message you want to convey with your choice. The Lilac color of ChicSew UK is great if you want to give off an elegant vibe or the royal blue of ChicSew might be perfect if your theme is more playful. The Bordeaux color of ChicSew can convey a romantic message and the mint green of Chic Sew could set off a summer-inspired feel. While all colors can play important roles in weddings, they can also send mixed messages white, for instance, symbolizes purity but also death so keep that in mind when choosing bridesmaid dresses colors.
4) Select a Silhouette
Silhouettes are an important factor when selecting bridesmaid dresses. Keep in mind that different silhouettes can make all of your bridesmaids feel like they are on a level playing field with one another.
For example, a sheath dress will elongate the wearer’s figure while a fit-and-flare or trumpet silhouette will balance out any height or weight differences between bridesmaids. Choose colors that complement each other and that blend well together. You want to avoid having a clashing color among your group of girls. To do this, find out what colors you’re using for your wedding and see which of them work best as complementary colors to create stunning shades such as lilac and royal blue or burgundy and navy blue.
5) Have Your Maids Try On the Dresses
Choose a bridesmaid dress that will complement your wedding colors. It is usually best to stay away from lilac, royal blue, and burgundy colors because they tend to clash with white dresses. These three colors will work well with black dresses or other dark colored dresses. If you are looking for a different color though, there are many shades of purple that work well with white and can be more flattering than lilac if you have fair skin.
