8 Tips on Choosing Bridesmaids Dresses

1. Choosing bridesmaids dresses that flatter all types of figures can be a challenge. If you want one dress style that will flatter your plus size best friend and your model figured sister, then go for an A-line cut. This is more fitted around the bust and gently eases out. An A-line dress with an Empire waist will also suit most figures.

2. If you don't mind not having the same style for each bridesmaid, then have your dresses made out of the same fabric, but change the style to suit each of your bridesmaid's figures best.

3. Make a statement - go for a complete mix and match with fabric and style, but have the same overall color scheme. Think about a navy and white theme for example. If you have 4 bridesmaids have one in navy and white stripes, one in dots, one in a navy dress with a white sash and another in a dress with a white top and a navy skirt.

4. If your wedding is more about the fun of the event that the formalities, then why not reflect this with beach bridesmaids dresses that captures spirit of summer. Choose a printed fabric or opt for a sundress style. Also keep in mind that shorter dresses tend to be less formal as well.

5. If you want a dress that will not only suit any figure, look fabulous, can be worn in a variety of styles and that your bridesmaids will absolutely love, then go for a multi-way wrap dress. You could choose a particular style that your bridesmaids would like for your wedding day or have each one of your bridesmaids wrap the dress in a different way that she feels best flatters her figure.
