If you\u2019re like us, you may not be a natural Gok Wan. Sure, you\u2019ve managed to figure out what looks well on your body, but how are you expected to style girls with all different shapes and sizes? Not to mention personal styles, skin tones, hairstyles\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Well fear not! Here are some basics to choosing your bridesmaid outfits.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s you\u2019re theme? Are you going for a rustic chic look? Maybe you\u2019re more of a timeless elegant kind of bride. Either way, your dresses should reflect your chosen style and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>With colour, if your girls go from bronzed beauties to porcelain doll in skin tone, then neutral colours or tonal versions of colours will work best. Greys, black, cream, nude are usually mutual winners here.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, there\u2019s no rule that says EVERY bridesmaid must wear the same dress. In fact mismatched dresses are more and more popular for this reason. Be open minded and make sure each dress has a common denominator. Either the same shade, fabric or style is ideal. Many stores carry \u2018multi-wear\u2019 dresses that allow you to style different dresses.<\/p>\n<p>Let your bridesmaids choose from a choice of preselected dresses put together in a Pinterest board. Each bridesmaid can comment when they\u2019ve picked out their dress.<\/p>\n<p>And remember accessories! Again, these need to complement the outfit and skin tone of your bridal party. But if you purchase neutral pieces that are identical, it will unify your bridesmaid look as a whole piece. Why not offer these as wedding favours to your favourite ladies? They\u2019ll be thrilled!<\/p>\n<p>Image via Etsy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to choosing your bridesmaid outfits, this can be quite a difficult task.
