- Track the Trends. What’s hot now? Hemlines with a little pop of sequins for that glam effect.
- Be Flexible. Why not pick the color you want and then let your maids choose their own style?
- Search for Inspiration. Surf the web. Even if you don’t spot your dream dress, you may find other ideas.
- Shop Early. Get your girls together to scope out silhouettes that everyone can agree on.
- Make Black-Tie Optional. Floor length gowns in seersucker or chiffon fabrics feel less formal.
- Ace the Accessories. Cool-toned dresses go with silver; for warm hues, try gold.
- Tap into Old Hollywood. A rhinestone belt, ruffle collar and knee length hem are so Grace Kelly.
- Do Your Homework. Study up on shapes that flatter all figures, like V-necks and A-lines.
- Find the Right Price. Consider cost when selecting a dress.
- Get a Tailor. Find affordable alterations around your area and make sure the dresses fit to a tee to ensure everyone looking their best!
