7 Fashion Tips for Bridesmaids
Old: The maid of honour must wear the same color as the other bridesmaids.
New: The colour of her dress may either match or compliment the other attendants.
Old: Every attendant’s dress has to be the same colour.
New: One style in various colours will flatter differing complexions.
Old: The attendants dresses must be the same length as the bridal gown.
New: While dresses should be similar in the degree of formality, they may be the same length or shorter. Hems should fall at the same length for each attendant.
Old: Attendants must wear flowers in their hair.
New: Attendants may choose flowers, wreaths, headpieces, bows, or other accents. Or they may choose to wear none of the above. They should all coordinate their options.
Old: Accessories are up to individual choices.
New: To create a harmonious affect, earrings, necklaces, gloves and hose should be the same for everyone. These make lovely bridesmaids gifts.
Old: Bridesmaids must all wear the same shoes.
New: Most of the time matching shoes complete the look. Some attendants choose shoes with different heel heights to reduce the difference between tall women and short ones. To be sure all the shoes are the same colour have them all dyed at the same time.
