Tips for hair styling your bridesmaids Every bride wants her bridesmaids' dress style to emulate their own gown in some way, and for them to be in keeping with the overall theme of the wedding. I have a rule of thumb for this : if the bride is in a lace dress or has a dress with texture, then keep the bridesmaids in a plain fabric like satin or taffeta, and vice versa. Bridesmaids are there to complement the bride, not look exactly like her. The other tricky part is choosing a colour; some brides can over think along with scheme for their bridesmaids' dresses. I was once asked which dress colour would go with a certain carpet in a venue! The key is to pick your wedding style and colours, then make sure that your bridesmaids complement this with a colour that works fitted as well as the venue.

You might have a 5ft 9 inch girl who is a size 16, and a 5ft 2 inch size 8 bridesmaid. There is no question that these girls will not suit the same dress, so don’t force it.
