Choosing Your Bridesmaids

I haven’t quite collected 27 dresses, but I’ve certainly been in my fair share of weddings, experienced complete chaos, witnessed maids of honor quit abruptly, and watched normal women turn into complete monsters.

Bridemaid Dresses

Admit it. When your best friend asked you to be one of her bridesmaids, you told her you’d love to and couldn’t wait to go dress shopping. Later, you cringed as you pictured yourself in some sort of poufy, multi-layered creation, “gracefully” making your way down the aisle, dragging somewhere close to 50 yards of tulle and organza. But it doesn’t have to be this way for bridesmaids anymore.

How To Choose Your Chicks

When it’s time to line up your pretty maids all in a row, there are more than a few factors to consider. Putting some thought into your decision on the front end will eliminate potential problems down the road. After all, no one wants their wedding to end up looking like an episode of “Bridezilla.”
