Just as bridesmaids complement the bride, similarly, the bridesmaid dresses should complement the wedding dress. As a group, bridesmaids can have a substantial impact on the color scheme and style of your ceremony.
Following are a few suggestions on beautiful bridesmaid dresses, for not just a happy you but also a happy and giggly entourage:

Consult your bridesmaids

It is advisable to have a few words with you bridesmaids on their preferred designs and comfort instead of going head-on with your choice. Most women know what cut and style suit them the most. You could leaf through various magazines, wedding catalogues and online wedding sites with your bridesmaids. You could either let them discuss a style and cut which would click for the whole group or you may let them wear separate designs individually, at the same time, converging as a group. For example, you could pick a range of colors in a particular design and fabric and let each bridesmaid have her pick within those parameters. At the same time, you could tie their looks together through accessories or shoes in a uniform color.

Color

While deciding the color of bridesmaid dress, the golden rule is to follow the wedding theme. Now, that does not mean you end up camouflaging your bridesmaids with the wedding fixtures! The color of the bridesmaid attire must complement the wedding motif.

Season or wedding theme

Summer 2010 brings with it light or neutral colors like beige, to pastels like yellow or lavender. Light and breezy fabrics are highly appealing, for both the skin and the eyes, especially in a sultry summer wedding. Strapless or halter styles, with an elegant string of pearl necklace, give the look of classic romance, with a peppy twist. These dresses that do not scream "bridesmaid" are bound to be a hit, making their way even to the mainstream closet of your bridesmaids. You could decide on the length of bridesmaid dress, that is, whether knee length or full length dresses, depending on how formal you want the entire setting to be. You could either let them discuss a style and cut which would click for the whole group or you may let them wear separate designs individually, at the same time, converging as a group. For example, you could pick a range of colors in a particular design and fabric and let each bridesmaid have her pick within those parameters. At the same time, you could tie their looks together through accessories or shoes in a uniform color.

Keep your bridesmaids in mind

Remember that while it is not essential that the bridesmaid dresses should be identical, it must on the whole complement your wedding gown and wedding theme. Ensure that the dress design complements your entourage with varying skin tones, sizes, height and features.

Pocket friendly

It is not necessary for you to break the bank for fancy dresses for the bridesmaids. It is possible for your bridesmaids to look good, keeping your budget intact, at the same time not ending up as preposterous, frumpy-looking clones.
