Bridesmaid Dresses - How Important Are They?

Bridesmaid Dresses
Are you currently planning a wedding and wondering how important the style and color of the bridesmaid dresses are in matching with the theme of your wedding?

Are bridesmaid dresses is truly important?
Yes, the bridesmaid is a person who shines the rest of your big day!

Bridesmaid dresses plays a very important role in marriage, just as soon as you possibly can after you've chosen your wedding gown. A well-chosen bridesmaid gown should contrast perfectly with the wedding dress, flowers and invitations as this definitely helps with setting the tone of your overall wedding. However, another major function of the bridesmaid dress is to contrast with the bride's gown in such a way that it makes the brides dress stand-out even more than it does on its own. Therefore, a bridesmaids dress is a means to really compliment the bride's gown in an elegant and eloquent manner.

There are several factors to consider when choosing the bridesmaid dresses.

For example:

- What is your theme?
- Who will be your bridesmaids?
- Are they grown adults, small children, or both?
- What are their sizes? (slim, full figure or petite)
- What color hair/skin have your bridesmaids?
- Is the wedding in the summer or winter?

This should be considered before you go looking for the perfect bridesmaid dresses as not all clothes that are not suitable for all people. Bridesmaid dresses for child may different for mature bridesmaid. Because of this, you need to choose two different styles of gowns, one for adults and another small child.

If your bridesmaids have different hair and skin coloring, and you want them all to be in the same color dress, then you must try and pick a 'neutral' color that will suit all hair color and skin types. As in the example above, a yellow dress would not necessarily suit a blond or a redhead, but would be more suited to a brunette. An alternative to this scenario is to have a 'rainbow' wedding. Have a different colored dress to suit the individual bridesmaids depending on the color of their hair and skin. I have seen this type of wedding many times before, and it always looks so bright and colorful.

Even if the wedding is in the Spring or Summer and you could go for an outdoor wedding, it still may be a good idea to purchase get some sort of wrap or material covering the shoulders of the bridesmaids as it still could be a little chilly. Unfortunately, one can never predict the weather on such occasions!

As a conclusion, bridesmaid dresses do play a very important role in your wedding as choosing the bride's dress. However, they should certainly not 'out-do' the bride and her wedding dress. The role of the bridesmaid dress is to compliment the bride in an eloquent manner, at the same time also blending in with the overall theme and color-scheme of the wedding.
