Shopping with your bridesmaids and helping them pick out their dresses can be a lot of fun but it can also be a challenge. They can be quite expensive so it is important to keep their budgets in mind. If possible look for something that they can wear more than once, instead of living in their closet for the next five years. Be open-minded. What looks great on one of your friends may not be so flattering on all of them. When this happens try choosing one colour and fabric, and let them decide what silhouette best suits them. That way they get something that is not only flattering on them, but something that is uniquely theirs.
