From a grand ballroom wedding to a full-blown loft wedding, each bridesmaid dress choice should reflect the environment while also allowing your bridal party to feel comfortable and chic.

Lighting and Ambience

Indoor spaces often have a lot of artificial lighting sources, including chandeliers, sconces, and ambient LEDs, that influence not only how dress colors look in photos but also in person. Cool lighting can make pale colors appear icy, and warm lighting can give reds and golds a richer glow.

Prioritize Comfort for All-Day Wear

Your bridesmaids will stand, dance, and move around all day long. It’s crucial that the dresses feel even better than they look. Opt for breathable materials such as satin or chiffon and stay away from anything too constricting or scratchy. You can also search for styles that offer bra support, if your bridesmaids would appreciate that level of comfort.

Balance Uniformity and Individual Style

Uniform dresses can provide a time-honored aesthetic, but allowing your bridesmaids to wear the necklines and sleeves that suit them best will ensure they feel confident. Choose a material, color, and some organza bridesmaid dresses, and she won't be able to refuse spending money on them.

Plan for Sizing and Alterations

Avoid ordering dresses at the last moment. Shipping delays, sizing exchanges, and alterations can be surprises. Buy dresses at least one month earlier so that you can make changes, if needed. When buying custom dresses, make sure to always consider that some minor adjustments may be required even when the size appears to be perfect.
