Your bridesmaids are the most special
ladies in your life – and regardless of where they may live, you will surely
want them to enjoy your wedding. How to choose a dress for out-of-town
bridesmaids, though? Here are some tips you should keep in mind:
· Ask for their opinion. You want them to look beautiful and feel comfortable in the dresses you select for them. This means you should ask them what they might like to wear. Email them photos of the options you have in mind and keep an open mind when you receive their feedback. With proper communication, you can all find a solution that everyone loves.
· Make sure they send in the correct measurements. In order to get the best fit, ask your girls to have a professional seamstress measure them – just to make sure everything is truly accurate. There may be a nominal fee involved if they are not purchasing a dress with the store that measures them (As of this writing, Suzanne's Bridal Boutique charges $10), but it will be worth it when the correct size dress arrives.
· Order all of the dresses at once. If you want your bridesmaids’ dresses to belong to the same dye lot and if you want to avoid having bridesmaids get upset because their dresses did not reach them, order them all at the same time. This will also save you some trouble, as you will not have to place multiple orders with different boutiques.
