Tip 1

Bridesmaid shopping can be difficult when it comes to working with various shapes and sizes, girls’ losing or gaining weight, getting pregnant and little ones growing up. 

We recommend you begin an early start to your search, and try looking at least 18 months before your wedding day and also make a decision around 9 months before due to lead times with manufacturers. 

Also, it is worth booking a slot with a reputable seamstress 6 weeks before your wedding for the bridesmaid final fittings to make sure that everything is perfect.

Tip 2

It’s a good idea for the Bride to have a solid idea on silhouette and colour before taking the girls on a shopping trip.  It can be quite awkward when your bridesmaids have a difference of opinions, especially in the middle of a boutique.

Tip 3

Many brides come in with a specific colour in mind for bridesmaid dresses and then leave with something else in mind.  Try and have a colour palette of at least 4 colours on hand so you have secured options when looking. 

Tip 4

To round up, we recommend going for a brand that can offer similar silhouettes but with various necklines to complement your girl’s different shapes and styles.

Well there you have it, stick to these 4 pieces of solid advice, and you and your leading ladies should be smiling from the engagement all the way to the aisle!
