You are probably incredibly happy right now because you are getting married, and all your friends and family will be there. You’ve likely selected the venue for the reception, chosen colors, picked your bridesmaids and are now searching for dresses for you and those standing up with you. Toronto women tend to have specific fashions that they enjoy wearing and while they understand that this is your day, there are some helpful tips available that will allow you to get what you want and allow your bridesmaids to look chic and beautiful.
Friends
You choose your bridesmaids and a maid of honour to stand up with you is because they are very special people to you. Whether it is family or friends, you need to stay a true friend to them, even while this is your day and should be all about you. This means not ignoring them, but also means considering their styles and body types when selecting their dresses.
Toronto weddings can be exciting and interesting, but don’t use hideous colors or fashions that will make your friends look drab or ugly compared to you.
Feel
It is very important for the bride to choose her dress first. Then choose the bridesmaid dresses to compliment the fabric and style of your dress. Many brides also choose to use the same style neckline, such as a sweetheart or halter dress for the maids.
Sizes
Your friends will likely come in all shapes and sizes, along with all kinds of skin tones. Finding one dress that will fit their size, shape and skin tone often proves challenging. Instead, search for styles that will fit everyone well, such as empire waists and a-line skirts.
Don’t be afraid to select a different style for one of your bridesmaids if that will make her look and feel better. You can keep the color scheme the same and add sleeves for larger women that will feel embarrassed to wear a spaghetti-strap gown or whatever fits their styles.
Mixing and matching have become very popular in Toronto and elsewhere because everyone has a different opinion about what looks good on them. Appease everyone while still having the wedding of your dreams by choosing dresses, styles and colors that will accentuate your bridesmaids’ style, body type and personality.
