Now more and more attention at weddings is paid to the role of bridesmaids. Therefore, choosing the right outfits for them is a matter of honor for the bride.
The nuances of choosing a dress for bridesmaids
If you have already decided that the bridesmaids will be dressed in similar dresses, when choosing dresses, take into account the following nuances:
- Start by choosing the length - short or long options. The long version is more solemn and elegant, but, of course, more expensive. Short models create the effect of lightness, but they look more democratic.
- Now think about the style. There are a lot of options, so you should carefully study each of them.
- Do not strive to use identical dresses for all girlfriends. Do not forget, each has its own peculiarities of the figure, its own strengths and weaknesses. Dressing everyone the same way, you can emphasize the charms of one, but focus on the shortcomings of the other girlfriend. It is unlikely that she will thank you for this. Let your friends define a style that fits their shapes perfectly.
- The issue of shade is far from last. Delicate colors are suitable for summer or late spring. If the wedding is planned for autumn or winter, then girlfriends are better to dress in dresses of darker shades.
Same color
This option is considered quite categorical and strict, but will provide wonderful photos.
And even in the case of the same dress color for everyone, each girlfriend can stand out and look individually if:
- the girls will have dresses with the same length, but each will have a different top;
- All dresses will be of different styles.
Different shades of the same color.
Girlfriends dressed in dresses of different shades of the same color look pretty pretty. This option will help to simultaneously distinguish friends from other guests and unite them, but at the same time highlight each girl individually.
If the dresses will be in different colors, you can combine girlfriends by offering them outfits in one style. For example, the shade of the dresses will be different, and the texture of the fabric and the length of the dresses will be the same.
Multi-colored with a pattern
Colorful outfits of girlfriends will be an excellent choice for an event that includes prints in its style. The fantasy in choosing such outfits is not limited to anything - girls can dress up in a cage, polka dots, dresses with flowers and other patterns.
If different styles and materials were chosen for the dresses of girlfriends, then you can combine the girls with the help of the same belts, bracelets, bouquets and similar nuances.
To the floor
These dresses are suitable for traditional celebrations in the restaurant. When choosing long dresses for bridesmaids, it is important to pay attention to style. A good choice would be the A-silhouette. If you choose outfits with a full skirt, this will help to hide the flaws of the figures of girls.
Short
If outfits for girlfriends are short and curvaceous, they will look at ease and fun. For a strict classic wedding, short dresses for girlfriends are best done in a straight cut. Dresses with a length slightly below the knee have a very elegant look.
You should not choose too narrow and short outfits for girlfriends, let the dresses be comfortable and do not interfere with dancing. A very deep neckline is also not welcome, but the cutout on the back can turn into a highlight of outfits.

Choosing this color for outfits of girlfriends is quite bold, because it can confuse others (it will be more difficult for them to select a bride).
So that the white dresses of the girlfriends do not compete with the wedding outfit, for these outfits choose a different texture of the fabric, a different shade, and also often a short length. A good solution is to dress all the girlfriends in exactly the same dresses, then the bride will be easy to find among the guests.

And finally, a selection of colorful dresses for bridesmaids. It looks impressive too, doesn't it?
How I like this trend - girlfriends in almost identical dresses! Only accessories and other wedding little things need to be made in the same color. Then everything will be perfect.
I believe that the fabric can be chosen the same, but let each girlfriend choose the style herself, otherwise some will be flawed, and the comparison will not be in their favor.
