Impression Bridal has a great selection in colors and styles. From one pieces to separates, you will find something to suit even the finickiest of bridesmaids.

We have given information on how to select the best bridesmaids for you. Now we want to flip it and discuss the role the bride plays for the attendants. Granted, it is an honor to be asked to be in your wedding but extreme consideration must be given to the people offering their time and support.

• Do not expect your bridesmaids to want to hear every last detail. This is an exciting time for everyone but do not bombard their email or voicemail with things that may only be relevant to you and your hubby.
• They had lives before you got engaged. Your bridesmaids will still have other obligations so be mindful of their schedules and give advanced notice when you need to meet for the major events: dress fitting, accessories shopping, rehearsal, hair and nails, etc.
• Come to the table with all of the facts. It is a good idea to approach your bridesmaids with a solid agenda. If you are still working out logistics, wait to speak with them until you have everything ready. This will prevent frustration and too many outside opinions.
• Ugly is ugly and it will reflect on the entire event. We have had brides with the attitude that their bridesmaid’s dresses should be… um, less than attractive, so they will not outshine them. However, we were able to get them to take into consideration those selections will live on forever in photos and video. You should want your attendants to look and feel beautiful so they can comfortably take part in your day.
• Budget fairly. It is not fair to select Vera Wang if you know all of your bridesmaids will not be able to afford the dress. No one should have to choose between feeding themselves or purchasing something for your wedding.
• Clearly communicate what you want for your bridal shower in advance. If you are a tea and crumpets kind of bride, let that be known before your friends start booking the kind of entertainment that comes with a thong.
