Do bridesmaids really have to spend a lot on a dress they may only wear once?
The great news for bridesmaids is that the trend in bridesmaids has moved towards versatile gowns that can be worn again for any special occasion. Many designers offer simple clean lines, classic looks that are not as dated as the bridesmaids gowns of the past. The hottest trend is separates, two-piece dresses, and many you can take the bridesmaid top and wear it with a cute short skirt or pair of dress pants, or you can wear the bridesmaid skirt with a fun top. Other options also include, choosing a specific color and have 2-3 different gowns for your girls to choose from (this works great with separates) This way you get the color and gown you want, and they get the shape of gown that they feel the most flattered and comfortable in. You should definitely listen to your bridesmaids, but at the same time don’t loose sight of your overall picture.
