Whether you’re going to be a Bridesmaid yourself or you’re a Bride looking for all the best ways to make your girls look and feel as confident as possible for the special day there are a number of things that you need to consider. From beautiful Bridesmaid dresses and accessories to the perfect hair and makeup to set off the look, here are all the Bridesmaid must-haves for a dreamy wedding day.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2124″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1497641218508{margin-top: 32px !important;margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1497641281819{margin-top: 32px !important;margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”]
The Perfect Dresses
Gone are the days of Bridesmaids having to live in fear over the terrible outfits they’re going to be forced into! No-one likes a frilly taffeta gown anymore, it’s all about looking sleek, chic and fabulous as you lead the Bride down the aisle.
One thing that is still a cause for concern for many Bridesmaids out there is that the dresses chosen for them, no matter how lovely, might not suit their individual shape or style. The best way around this is to either choose a colour scheme and let your girls choose, or find fabulous multi-way dresses so that Bridesmaids can be matching whilst also making it their own.
For higher budgets, Watters has some incredible choices in a variety of current colours that are well worth looking at. If you’re a little more limited, cost wise, M&S Wedding has some really gorgeous, affordable options including a variety of multi-ways.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1497642135567{margin-top: 32px !important;margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”]
Flawless Hair & Makeup
Bridesmaids have to look fabulous in those wedding photos too and having flawless hair and makeup really does make all the difference.
Many Bridesmaids are happy to do their own hair and makeup, although there’s no denying that there’s going to be an awful lot going on in the morning before the wedding, so it might be more stressful than they imagine.
If you know that your Bridesmaids are going to want their hair and makeup professionally done, make sure to let your Wedding Hair & Makeup Artist know well in advance so that assistants can be arranged and timings and costs can be taken into account.
The experience of having their hair and makeup beautifully applied is wonderful and makes the day all the more fun and memorable! Bring a button shirt or dressing gown to wear whilst getting your hair and makeup done so that you can get changed after without messing it all up.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2168″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1497641755878{margin-top: 32px !important;margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1498508495758{margin-top: 32px !important;margin-bottom: 32px !important;}”]
Flat Shoes
You’ll probably all be sporting heels for the main event, but bringing a pair of pretty, flat shoes for later in the day is a must if you want to be cutting shapes on the dancefloor without cutting up your feet!
New shoes are the worst for blisters and foot pain, so try to break your shoes in before the big day if possible. Arm yourself with silicone shoe pads and blister plasters too, just in case, but your best bet is to switch to pumps before the pain sets in, if you know it’s coming.
Bridesmaid Survival Kit
Don’t forget your Bridesmaid survival kit (and a cute handbag to put it all in)! This will be full of bits and pieces that might save the day for you Bridesmaids and the Bride too.
