Ok, ladies. It’s time we tackled the hard truth about bridesmaid dresses.
Well, we hate to break it to you, but despite the stress you may be feeling over a looming bridesmaid attire decision, there’s not really a defined set of rules. You know why? Because there are no real rules. Because you rule, queen bee.
And as the gracious queen that you are, you should always keep your “ladies in waiting” close to your heart and in the forefront of your mind. Be thoughtful of your ladies and what you ask them to wear. Be aware of their varying styles and personalities. They may not all be comfortable in a plunging neckline or backless dress. Be aware of surroundings. If you’re getting married outside in January, you and your girls are braver than most, but a short, strapless, silk gown may not be your best bet.
Other than that, it’s all up to you, girlfriend. It’s something you just have to really embrace. But we know that’s vague, so we created a list of questions that will help you decide how to dress your leading ladies. Read on.
