And now as the day nears you have started the actual preparations, but as you, near the task of picking the bridesmaid dresses you don’t know what to do. One of the most crucial aspects to look into while picking your bridesmaid’s dresses is the right hue that won’t overshadow you on your big day nor will be a dampener to the entire look. 

Here are the colours you can choose from and what the colour would say about the bride:

Champagne or Gold: As a bride you want your besties to have an exceptional day as you walk down the aisle. The colours champagne and gold speak luxury, confidence and elegance.

Pink: As a bride you want to relive the childhood innocence with your friends one last time before starting a brand new life. The varied hues of light pink speaks of girls fun and carefreeness.

Lavender: As a bride you want to have a laid back approach during the very necessary wedding chaos. The colour lavender speaks about the rustic vibe of a field or a barn you want translated into the wedding.

The Long and Short of Bridesmaid Dresses |Length of the Dress

One of the most special things about a wedding is asking a close friend or a relative to play an important part in the wedding. I’ve been a bridesmaid for 3 weddings and trust me it is one of the best feelings helping the bride-to-be to plan one of the most important days of her life. However, when it came to my wedding it took me a while to figure out what exactly to do and to entrust my besties with tiny details. And it also took me a while to actually figure out shopping for my bridesmaid dresses, with a huge debate on whether to get short bridesmaid dresses or long ones.

In all the three weddings I was a bridesmaid, we did go back and forth about the length of the dress and the final decision rested depended on the season, location and theme of the wedding. So after a lot of discussions with my family and friends, I picked short bridesmaid dresses for my wedding from BMbridal, however, you can make some informed decisions with the pros and cons of each type I scribbled below:

Long Bridesmaid Dresses
~ A more elegant option, especially for formal weddings and black-tie affairs.
~ A popular choice for all body types, except very short girls.
~ A style that covers the feet hence can save on the footwear expenses.

Short Bridesmaid Dresses:
~ A more fun option, especially for informal and intimate gatherings. 
~ A popular choice for all body types, fun and sweet.
~ A style that allows flaunting beautifully coordinated footwear.

And if you are still undecided, let your bridesmaid pick for themselves as mismatched bridesmaid dresses are also gaining a lot of popularity these days. However with mismatched bridesmaid dresses, ensure that you already have two or three hues you know you’ll be using in the wedding, and work from there.
