10 tips for choosing your Bridesmaids dresses

1. Don’t dress your friends in something hideous so you will look better by comparison, and try not to choose bridesmaid dresses that make your bridal party look heavy or sexless.
2. Don’t pick a style that evokes the same feel of your dress or look too similar- you don’t want your bridesmaid looking like a bride or competing for the camera shots either.
3. Don’t be inconsiderate – don’t ask your friends to buy a bridesmaids dress they absolutely wouldn’t be caught dead in ever again.
4. Don’t be a control freak and try to do everything on your own.
5. Don’t go over the top with lots of detail and accessories. Remember that simple, elegant designs make everybody happy.
6. Do choose a style that will compliment all your bridesmaids body shapes.
7. Do make sure that the bridesmaid dresses suites the theme of your wedding.
8. Do coordinate the bridesmaid dresses with the colours of your wedding.
9. Do choose a suitable length for the bridesmaid dresses. A formal ceremony calls for floor length dresses, while an informal or outdoor wedding allows for knee length dresses.
10. Do ask your bridesmaids to give you their correct measurements to ensure a perfect fit.
