Things You'll Need:
- Swatches of your wedding colors
- Hairstyle magazines
-
Step 1
All three of these dresses would flatter different body types without losing the theme.Pick a common color. Instead of choosing a standard dress, choose a color that you require all dresses to be. For example, if your colors are rose, peach and cream, then you may wish to require all bridesmaids to wear peach or rose. If you want more variety, you can allow them to choose the color for themselves, but this can lead to a lack of uniformity if you do not have even numbers of each color.
-
Step 2
Give each bridesmaid a swatch of the color you want their dress to be. This will help them shop for a dress. Another benefit of this method is that they will buy their dresses much more willingly because they will be a size and style that each bridesmaid enjoys. Many bridal gown stores carry bridesmaids dresses in matching colors but different styles, so you may decide to just take everyone with you to the same store and get the dresses together. This will insure that all of the dress colors match exactly, which is particularly important when the styles are not all the same.
-
Step 3
Select 2 or 3 hairstyles for the bridesmaids to choose from. If you have bridesmaids with different lengths of hair, be sure that you pick hairstyles that accommodate these practical differences.
-
Step 4
Common hairstyles, jewelry and bouquets unite these bridesmaids even though their dresses are not even the same color.Give each bridesmaid her jewelry as a gift. This way, you can be sure that everyone is wearing the same jewelry, which will tie them together in a united theme. Furthermore, this also takes care of your bridesmaids gifts.
