We all know that picking out the perfect bridesmaids gowns can be difficult. Not only do you have to find a dress that you find attractive, but it must look good on all your bridesmaids. It's hard to do because you may have one extremely short and one extremely tall bridesmaid, yet you need that one dress that they both love.
My best advice on bridesmaids dresses would be to take your bridesmaids into account. You need to think of their skintone, hair color and body type. Taking all this into account will be difficult and possibly stressful, but your bridesmaids will love you for picking out a dress that they could possibly wear after the wedding.
You don't necessarily need to ask your bridesmaids exactly which dress they want, because you could end up with 12 different answers. However, one way of finding out styles and colors your bridesmaids like is by looking at old pictures of them. If you look at pictures of them in previous cocktail dresses or nice tops, you may notice that many of them wear strapless often. Take that hint and run with it. That immediately can narrow your search, begin looking at strapless gowns that appeal to you. After you find a few dresses that you love, show your bridesmaids and get their final opinion.
Hopefully by doing this, you will be satisfying your bridesmaids, as well as, making them look their best. Here's a hint: keep in mind that your bridesmaids can get their long dresses cut into a cocktail length!!!! Good luck!
