How to choose bridesmaid dresses

When planning a wedding, one of the biggest decisions to make is what your bridesmaids will wear. Finding the perfect dresses for your bridesmaids can be a fun task, but it can also be quite stressful. With so many styles, colours, and fabrics to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. 

Fortunately for you, NADINE MERABI can guide you through the process of how to choose bridesmaid dresses that will complement your wedding theme, flatter your bridesmaids' figures, and make your bridal party look and feel their best. Whether you're looking for classic, elegant dresses or something more modern, we've got you covered.

How to choose the colour of your bridesmaid dresses

Quite possibly the most important aspect of choosing your bridesmaid dresses is the colour. Of course, the style and fit are very important, but the colour is the key aspect you have to decide on. Typically, the colour of the bridesmaid dress is determined by the colour theme of your wedding.

Here are some tips on how to choose your bridesmaid dresses’ colour:

• Find your inspiration - Have a look at wedding magazines and websites like Pinterest and Instagram to find some inspiration. You never know, there could be a colour you hadn’t previously thought of that just jumps out at you. It’s always good to look at past examples to get some inspiration for your own wedding.

• Venue of location - The actual location of your wedding is important when deciding on your bridesmaid dresses. If you’re planning on having outdoor pictures, or even an outdoor ceremony, make sure that the dresses match the location.

• Be mindful of skin tones - The skin tones of your bridesmaids is something else to consider when working out how to choose bridesmaid dresses. Consider this when choosing the colour.

• Consider the season - Similar to your venue, the season may determine the colour of your bridesmaid dresses. For a summer wedding, think about brighter colours like yellow, light blue and pink.

• Multiple dress colours - You may even consider something alternative and step away from the traditional style. Think about potentially mixing it up a little and choosing different colours. This would be a real statement look as your bridesmaids walk down the aisle ahead of you.
