Tips to Help You Choose the Perfect Bridesmaid Dresses

Regardless of the colors, fabrics, or silhouettes you choose for your bridesmaids, their dresses play a significant role in showcasing the unique character of your wedding. For a stunning outdoor venue like Green Gables Farm, it's essential to select attire that harmonizes with the natural surroundings and complements your wedding theme. Think about how different fabrics and colors will interact with the outdoor light and lush landscape. When you know what to consider, choosing the perfect bridesmaid dresses can become a fun and rewarding part of your planning process, ensuring that every detail enhances the overall atmosphere of your special day.

Here are a few tips that will help you during the process:

Take your wedding gown style into consideration. Even though you will be the one to stand out, it still looks great when your look coordinates with your girls. If you have a lot of details on your dress, keep your bridesmaid dresses simple.  The same thing applies to necklines – make sure that they aren’t exactly the same.

Consider skin tones and body type. You want your bridesmaids to look and feel beautiful on the day too, so choose a color that works well with their skin tones and body shapes.  You may even want to throw hair color into the mix when deciding on a color.

Keep the season in mind. Before you decide on a look, take the season and the venue that you will be getting married into consideration. It’s fine to choose long dresses in an outdoor venue in Charlotte in summer or short-sleeve dresses in fall, but make sure that your ladies are comfortable.

Start shopping early. You never know how long it will take you to find the perfect bridesmaid dresses so don’t start shopping too late. Plus, you may need to order your dresses and delivery could take a while, so keep this in mind.

Price matters. If you will not be buying your bridesmaid dresses, it’s really important to keep price in mind. Your bridesmaids are investing quite a bit of time and money in your big day so make sure that the dresses you choose are actually affordable.

Get their opinions. Your bridesmaids will really appreciate having a say in their dresses so ask them if they had any ideas about what they would like to wear.  You should, of course, still have the final say, but it’s great to include them in the process too.

Speaking of roping your bridesmaids in. If you want to reduce some of your wedding planning responsibilities and stress, get your maid of honor to research dresses and prices for you.

The ideal bridesmaid dresses are within reach, and finding them will be a breeze if you follow these straightforward tips. When choosing dresses for an outdoor wedding venue, consider how the styles, colors, and fabrics will complement the natural beauty and setting of the farm. Keeping these details in mind will help you select attire that not only aligns with your vision but also enhances the overall ambiance of your special day.
