At Wonderland, we love working with bridesmaids and wedding party members almost as much as we love working with our brides. Picking out the color and style of your bridesmaid dresses is almost as difficult as picking out your wedding dress. That’s where we come in. With every bridesmaid appointment, we try to dig into your inner psyche to dissect exactly what you’re looking for. It’s important you organize your thoughts and figure out a little bit of everything you’re looking for when it comes to your dream bridesmaid dresses.
Wedding themes change seasonally, so the easiest part of this process is choosing your color scheme. The colors of your bridesmaid dresses should correspond with one of the colors being incorporating into the entire wedding. From there, the style of the dress trickles into place. More times than not, a bride will immediately know if she wants her girls in a short dress or a long dress. Insider tip: long dresses usually symbolize a black tie or black tie optional wedding, while short dresses portray a wedding that encourages more of a casual/cocktail attire. Once the colors and length are decided, you can figure out the style of dress you’re looking for.
Listen to your bridesmaids. We know how hard it is to take outside opinions during the wedding planning process when you have your heart set on certain details, but you want your girls to look and feel their best when they are up there supporting you. Gone are the days of the stuffy bridesmaid dresses. We are happy to report that we’ve never worked with a bride that wants her bridesmaids to look significantly worse than her. Those times have passed.
Choose a style that flatters each individual bridesmaid. Chances are, each and every one of your girls have very different body types, which is why we love the fact that different dress styles are so popular right now. If you’re still not sold on the different styles, pick one unifying look that brings all of the dresses together. Pick at least one aspect of your bridesmaids’ look, be it the color, neckline, or fabric—that unifies the entire group.
You may be wondering, what types of styles and designers we carry in bridesmaid dresses at Wonderland Bridal? We’re happy to carry Sorella Vita, designed to bring the hottest runway styles and the latest red carpet trends to the aisles of the most fashion-forward weddings. Often times, our brides always come back to Wonderland to shop and secure their bridesmaid dresses.
Do you have bridesmaids who live out of town? We have that covered! Have them send us their measurements and we will take the hassle out of them having to look for the dress on their own. Also, having all of your bridesmaids order from the same store ensures that the dresses will be cut from the same dye-lot. That means, everyone’s dress will be the exact same shade of the color you chose.
Let Wonderland Bridal help you choose the perfect bridesmaids dresses for your wedding! Call us today to schedule your appointment!
