Your bridesmaids will be doing a lot of legwork during your wedding. They have a long list of responsibilities to fulfill. Therefore, choose dress styles and fabrics that are comfortable for them and easy to move around in.
(2) Strive for a coherent color palette.
Whether you’re going for a monochromatic color palette for your bridesmaids or a mix-and-match look, make sure all the hues go well with your entire wedding theme.

(4) Mind their budgets.
If your bridesmaids are pitching in for their own dresses, mind their budgets. Choose dresses that fit their budgets or ask them first if you’re eyeing dresses that are a little over the budget.

(5) Be mindful of their body types.
Your bridesmaids have different kinds of bodies so think of styles that will highlight each girl’s assets. You can also ask them what style they think best suits their bodies.

(6) Watch out for the weather and location.
Are you getting married in a garden venue or at the beach? Take these into consideration when picking the dresses. Going back to the first point, remember to pick garments that will be comfortable given the time of day, location, and weather.

(7) Strike a balance between flexibility and conformity.
Your girls have different personalities. If you’re open, allow them the flexibility to keep their personalities with their dress styles. If you’re going for the same dress style for everyone, think of what will best work for everyone.
