Tips For Choosing The Perfect Bridesmaid Dress

• Know Your Budget - Decide what your budget is ahead of time so that you don't end up spending more money than you can afford.
• Research All The Bridesmaid Dresses Available - You don't want to settle for a bridesmaid dress until you've done all the research you can.  Once you find one that you and your bridesmaids really like, make sure there is none similar to it that is prettier or cheaper.  Search local dress shops and online before you settle for a dress.
• Order The Wedding Dress First - It may seem convenient to do all the shopping at once, but it is better to buy your wedding dress first.  That way you'll know what you want the bridesmaid dresses to look like and if they go well with your wedding dress.
• Decide What Color Dress You Want Them To Be - Once again, it is helpful if you order your wedding dress first, because then you can decide what color you want the bridesmaid dresses to be.  Also consider what your wedding color theme is.  Perhaps if your wedding color theme is orange, your bridesmaid could wear orange dresses.  When you choose the color you want ahead of time, you are not limiting the amount of bridesmaid dresses to choose from.  Bridesmaid dresses come in all different colors, so don't be afraid to choose the color you want ahead of time.
• Know The Size Of Your Bridesmaids - You don't want it to be the day of your wedding and one of your bridesmaids realizes her dress doesn't fit.  Of course, your bridesmaids will probably try on their dresses beforehand, but you get the point.  It is important to buy the right size dress.  Ask your bridesmaids what size dress they wear, and have them help pick out the dress.  If there isn't a dress in one of your bridesmaid's size, either opt for having them wear different colored dresses or find another dress that is in all their sizes.
• Let Your Bridesmaids Help Pick The Dress - If your wedding checklist is overwhelming you, give your bridesmaids the job of choosing there own dresses.  They'll probably be happy to do this task and will be able to find dresses in their size and taste. If you won't be with them while they do the shopping, you may want to let them know the color dresses and style you want them to wear.

Other Bridesmaid Accessories

• Shoes - While you may be mainly thinking about the bridesmaid dresses, it is important that you choose some accessories for your bridesmaids.  One of those must-have accessories is the shoes.  Whether it is heels or simple sandals, the shoes are going to be an important accessory to choose. However, make sure you give your bridesmaids the chance to choose the shoes they want.
• Bracelet - A bracelet is a pretty accessory to match up with a beautiful bridesmaid dress.  If you have been wanting to get your bridesmaids a gift, this is a great gift to give them.  Give it to them before the wedding so that they can wear it during the ceremony.
• Earrings - While not as important as other accessories, earrings are still important to choose.  Decide if you want all the earrings to match, or if you don't mind them all looking slightly different.
• Floral Crown - It is common for bridesmaids and sometimes the bride to wear a floral crown.  It is simply a circular crown made from flowers that you place on your head.  Floral crowns are very easy to make (get the full instruction guide by clicking here.)
• Other Hair Accessories - If your bridesmaids decide not to wear floral crowns, you'll need to decide what they will do with their hair.  Perhaps you all want to wear matching barrettes, or maybe you don't mind if one bridesmaid wears a hair tie and another wears a barrette.
