Most people know that the bridal party is an important piece of any wedding ceremony. Naturally, your bridal party is going to include your closest friends and family. That being said, as a bride, you’re going to want your bridesmaids to be comfortable while looking amazing on your big day. The Atlanta wedding photographers at Atlanta Artistic Weddings know this isn’t always easy, as you’ll have many styles and personalities in your bridal party that you’ll want to please. Here are a few simple things you can do to ensure your bridal party is happy and looks great on your wedding day!

Before picking the actual outfit, there are a few things you’ll want to do. As the bride, it’s a good idea to have your dress picked out first. This way you can coordinate your bridal party’s ensemble with any details on your dress so that they compliment each other. Also, keep in mind the overall setting and venue of your wedding. For example, a dress that’s perfect for a wedding in June on the beach may not work for a wedding in a church in December. While you should have the final say on the look of your wedding, it’s not a bad idea to talk to your bridesmaids before to settle on certain things, like budget, if they are buying the ensemble, color, or style. While you may want to ask what they would like or hope for, consider asking your friends what they don’t like or want, as those opinions will likely be more important to them. For instance, someone in your bridal party may prefer to wear a suit, or one friend might not feel comfortable in a strapless dress. Also, this will likely be a shorter list, so it will help you and your bridesmaids focus on what’s really important during your search. Once you have a game plan, then you can begin shopping.

When shopping for any kind of ensemble, the two key things most people look for is color and style. Most brides will obviously want to choose something that matches the color scheme of the wedding. However, you can never go wrong with a nice neutral color for your bridesmaids, such as tan, grey or black. These colors are very classy, look great with every skin tone, and will make the bridesmaids ensembles easier for your friends to wear again for other occasions. As far as style goes, you’ll want to pick something that flatters every body type. Consider dresses that can be altered to fit the bridesmaids comfort level, like a strapless dress that can have a sleeve added or a short dress where the skirt can be lengthened. I personally like bridal parties that have mismatched ensembles, where each bridesmaid chooses their own outfit in a certain color scheme set by the bride. This is quickly becoming a popular trend. It seems to make everyone feel more at ease on the big day and is the perfect way to let your friends show their personalities while staying on theme.

It is so important to be cohesive, but your bridesmaids all have their own personalities, styles and taste for you to think about. After all, they’re you’re your best friends and that’s why you love them! While this is usually an awesome thing, it can be overwhelming, especially when you are picking out something for them to wear to a big event. That being said, it is completely understandable if you prefer to go shopping by yourself, at least once, to form your own opinions before everyone else weighs in. Then, if you feel like you want to bring your crew along later, you can make it a girls day! As for the actual ensembles, there are plenty of ways to show your friends individuality without sacrificing cohesion. There is always mismatching ensembles as I mentioned before, which can be very fashionable. However, even if your crew wears the same dress, they can show their personal style through the shoes or jewelry they pair with it. All of these are things you can keep in mind to make choosing your bridesmaids dresses less stressful, along with the fact that the people in your bridal party love you and just want your big day to be a success!
