As the bride, it's natural to want to look your best on your wedding day. After all, it's YOUR big day! You want to be the shining star and attract all the attention, so you might have some concerns about your bridesmaids, who will be standing right next to you at the altar. But don't worry, with a little bit of planning and coordination, you can make sure everyone looks beautiful and complements your overall look.
Find the right dresses
Choosing bridesmaids' dresses can be a tricky task, chances are everyone will be different shapes and sizes so finding one gown that looks good on everyone isn't the easiest. One way to get around this would be to let everyone choose a style that they know suits their body shape but get all of the dresses in the same colour so that they still look cohesive. You could start by looking at green shades at searchbycolors.com for example (or whatever colour you plan on choosing) and seeing what types of dresses they have in each colour section. Choose a style that compliments your dress but doesn't overshadow it- going with simple yet beautiful gowns is one way to go about this. The more elaborate your dress, the more embellishment the bridesmaids dresses can have without them taking over your look.
Choose jewellery
When it comes to jewellery, getting everyone a similar style can be a great way to keep your looks coordinated. If you decide to wear a necklace or dangling earrings for example, your bridesmaids could wear similar styles but not as dramatic. For example, instead of a 3-level earring like yours, they could wear a simple dangling earring or a 2-level earring. Choose a colour whether it's gold, silver or rose gold and all wear the same.
Consider hair and makeup
Having your bridesmaids hair and makeup different to your own is a good way to set them apart too. If you're having your hair in an undo, your bridesmaids could have theirs down, or half up half down for example. Having bridesmaids makeup done in a simple yet beautiful natural style will ensure that they look their best without competing with you as the bride, a good makeup artist will make sure that you all look stunning while still setting you apart. Be sure to attend hair and makeup trials in the run up to the big day so you can have them make any adjustments so you're all 100% happy on the day.
Remember, your bridesmaids are there to support you and make sure you look and feel your best on your wedding day. With a little bit of coordination, you can ensure everyone looks beautiful and complements your overall look.
