Bridesmaid Dress Tips

Sometimes finding dresses for your bridesmaids can be more stressful than finding your wedding dress! We at POSH have came up with few tips for brides when choosing bridesmaid dresses:

1. Try to find a dress that is suitable for all body types. Some dresses are made for smaller frames while others are meant for a more curvy figure. A dress that flatters all the bridesmaids will leave them happier.
   
2. Pick a dress that has something in common with with your wedding dress. Try going with a theme that echoes your gown, whether its fabrics or silhouette style. Your wedding party will look more chic, elegant, and, of course, cohesive.
3. Seasons play a big part in choosing bridesmaid dresses. In the winter, full-length gowns heavier fabrics such as velvet, crepe silk, and satin can be worn to keep bridesmaids warm in the cooler weather. Whereas in the summer, cocktail dresses and lighter fabrics chiffon and taffeta can ensure bridesmaids don't get too hot and show sweat stains in the warmer weather.
   
4. Find a dress that can be worn after the wedding is over. Pick styles that your bridesmaids can be wear for different occasions, such as dinner parties and elegant outings. Your bridesmaids will appreciate the versatility of the dress even more.
5. No one wants to spend an arm-and-a-leg when buying gowns, especially in this economy. For the thrifty bride on the search for bridesmaid gowns, look for dresses at the beginning and end of seasons. These are popular times for clearances of bridesmaid dresses, as new styles come in and old styles go out.
