If you have 1 Bridesmaid or 10 Bridesmaids, finding a dress that pleases both you and the maids', can be a difficult task. While it is great to ask for all of your maids' advice, make the final choice yourself.... it is after all, your wedding!
Here are some suggestions to help you on the journey to the perfect Bridesmaid dress.
For a modern, but still cohesive look - you could always choose the designer, color, fabric and length you want, but allow the maids' to choose their own style. With all the girls in the same shade and length, it still feels put together, but can allow each girl to find a shape that is most flattering to them. This is also helpful if you have varying sizes in your bridal party.
If you are planning to keep everyone in the same dress, sometimes it helps to start shopping with only 1 or 2 of your maids'. Maybe bring the one who has the most similar shape to everyone, or the one who will be the hardest to fit. This way when you bring the whole group in, you will have an idea of what works best.
Lastly, don't forget about the accessories! Make sure you communicate to your bridesmaids what color or style of shoe you would like them to wear, and what type of jewelry you would like them to wear.
