Everyone has the "27 Dresses" memory of the hideous bridesmaid dress they were forced to wear at a good friend's wedding. Bridesmaid dresses can be extremely over-the-top, geared to show the bride at her best and the bridesmaid not so well. When you look for bridesmaid dresses, look for elegant, classic, simple lines that are timeless, fashionable, and still say "special." These types of dresses never go out of style, which means your bridesmaid can wear the dress again, and that's something she'll thank you for.

The Right Fabric

For elegant results, choose a rich, supple fabric for your dress, like silk, satin, or chiffon, that is regal and elegant, and comes in a variety of rich colors to match your wedding color theme. 

Price Does Matter

It's best to choose a moderately-priced gown if your bridesmaids are buying their own gowns, to take it easy on their pocketbooks and protect your friendship! Remember, they have to buy shoes, jewelry, makeup, and hair styling for the big day, too, so help them out with a budget-conscious bridesmaids dress.

Go Shopping! Remember, everyone isn't the same size or height, so take that into consideration when you choose your perfect bridesmaids dress.
