Bridesmaid Dresses
Some words of wisedom from Frocks www.frocks.ca on choosing your bridesmaid dresses:
- Do you have any recommendations for selecting bridesmaids' dresses when my bridesmaids are very different heights and sizes?
This is very common and there are several options. You may select a single style that flatters most body types (such as an empire waist with a-line skirt), or you may select a fabric and colour from one designer and then allow your bridesmaids to select the style that suits them best from that designer. This is a popular trend and allows the bridesmaids some individuality while still ensuring their style reflects the theme you envisioned.
-
Should I bring all of my bridesmaids to my appointment?
This is entirely up to you. We will ensure you and your bridesmaids have a great time selecting their dresses, but we also know that more people generally equals more opinions. The fewer opinions, the faster you will reach a decision! You may wish to narrow down your choices by looking through our website and then make an appointment to come into our store with your bridesmaids and try on a few of your favourite styles.

I know that bridesmaids typically all wear the same colour, but I was considering allowing my bridesmaids to select from a range of colours. Will this look mis-matched in my wedding photos?
A uniform look for bridesmaids is timeless and can have great impact, but we also recommend trying different colour combinations for your bridal party. While you may not want to give your bridesmaids complete control when selecting their dress colours, you could pre-select several tones of one colour (or a combination of several colours that work well together) and then allow your bridesmaids to choose from your selected colors for their dress and trims (flowers, sashes etc.). This can produce a very beautiful result in wedding photos! Don't have a great eye for color? We would be happy to help you choose colors that work well together!
