Every bridesmaid deserves to feel as beautiful and happy as the bride. These days, it is not uncommon for a bride to have as many as 10 or more attendants. This makes picking dresses a bit of a dilemma. Making sure everyone feels confident, comfortable and not in the least awkward is key. But most importantly, always talk with your bridesmaids.Discuss any concerns they might have. Most bridesmaids are happy to compromise on style or colour – it is the bride’s big day, after all. Keep your friends in the loop, maybe showing them pictures in magazines or colour swatches of fabric; any problems can then be dealt with at a much earlier stage. Always take your bridesmaids to try the dresses on. An online purchase may seem like a cheap and easy option, but sizes vary, as do bridesmaids.
