How To Find Bridesmaid Dresses You & Your Bridal Party Will Love

The most important dress to find when you are getting married is, of course, your wedding dress, but there are a few other ladies that will need to look their best too. After you've discovered your own dream bridal gown, it's time to start the search for the best bridesmaid dresses in South Florida.

Since everyone has their own personal style, it can sometimes be difficult to find a gown that everyone in the group is happy with. The following tips from Angelus Bridal & Formals will help to make the process a little easier for all of you.

The Bride Picks First
It's always best for the bride to have her wedding gown picked out first. That way you can look for styles that complement it for the bridesmaids to wear. After that, we suggest that you, along with your maid of honor, do some preliminary searching for the bridesmaid dresses. If you have a very small bridal party this may not be necessary, but for larger ones, this can eliminate a lot of varying opinions and possible arguments.

It is easier for a bride to convey the look she is going for to just one bridesmaid rather than an entire group of them. Keep the price that your bridesmaids can afford in mind when you start making selections. You can narrow down the choices to 3 or 4 dresses for the group to pick from. This allows you to let your friends pick their favorite, but from a group of gowns that you have already pre-approved.

Trust Your Bridesmaids
Once you bring the whole bridal party together to make final decisions, trust them to have your best interests at heart. These are women that you feel close to if you have asked them to be a part of your special day, so they should be people that you trust to make a good decision. After all, even though it is your wedding, they are the ones that have to wear the dress.

You want them to look and feel comfortable on your wedding day. If there is a tie for the winning gown, you can be the tiebreaker. Instead of everyone wearing matching dresses, another option is to give your bridesmaids a few choices of gowns that work well together and let each woman pick a different one.

Start Shopping Early
It's never too early to begin the bridesmaid gown search. Start out by flipping through wedding magazines together or sharing your favorite looks with each other online. This is a great way to get everyone excited, plus a wonderful way to figure out the styles that are most popular with your group.

The bridesmaid dresses will need to be ordered at least 6 months before the wedding date. This will allow enough time for the orders to come in and any necessary alterations to be scheduled and completed.

Angelus Bridal & Formals has a rainbow of colors and a wide range of different styles for you to choose from, and don't forget about our "Love At First Sight" promotion. When you, the bride, fall in love with your wedding dress and purchase it on your first visit to our South Florida bridal salon, your bridesmaids will automatically be eligible for $30 off of their bridesmaid dress purchase for your wedding. (If the gown they choose is priced under $159.95, they will receive a 10% discount instead.) Once everything is said and done, we will have you and your wedding party looking like the best dressed bridal party ever!

Help Your Bridesmaids Find the Most Amazing Dresses For Your Wedding

You want the women standing next to you at your wedding to look amazing, so knowing where to shop for the best bridesmaid dresses in South Florida is pretty important. Getting everyone to decide on which gown is the best can be tricky. Use these tips from Angelus Bridal & Formals to make the decision easier for everyone.

Start the dress search early.

You will want to have the bridesmaid dresses ordered at least 6 months before the wedding so that there is enough time for fittings and alterations after they come in. The sooner you find a gown that everyone likes, the easier it will be to move on to other wedding-related tasks.

Use your wedding dress as inspiration for the style of the bridesmaid dresses. Enjoy flipping through bridal magazines together and sharing wedding fashions that you find online. Hopefully a dress style will emerge from everyone's favorite picks.

Keep an open mind.

Trust that the women you have chosen to be your bridesmaids have your best interests at heart. They are not purposefully going to pick out something hideous and ruin your wedding. They are the ones that have to wear the dress all day long for numerous photos, so take their opinions into consideration and really listen to what they do and do not like.

Narrow down the choices for them.

That being said, this is your special day, so you do get to have your own opinion about what the bridesmaids will wear. Instead of asking them to choose from every dress available in our South Florida Bridal Salon, narrow down the options to a few of your favorites. Take your maid of honor along for input, and once you have found a few different ones that you both like, bring in the rest of the group for the final decision.

Take the season & time of day into consideration.

The expected temperature on the day of the wedding will play a large part in your fashion choices, as will the time of day of the ceremony and reception. Afternoon weddings are usually more casual, while evening celebrations tend to lean toward a more formal feel.

To match or not to match...

Do you want all of your bridesmaids to wear the exact same thing, or will you let them vary the styles? Both choices are perfectly acceptable. If you do have them wear different dresses, make sure that each gown has some type of unifying element to pull them together, like different shades of the same color or having all gowns with a similar element such as the same length or neckline.

Pay attention to pricing.

The sky may be the limit for you with your own wedding, but that may not be the case for your friends. You would hate for someone to have to turn down being one of your bridesmaids because it was too expensive. Be aware of what everyone can afford and do your best to stay within an appropriate price range for them.

Move around in that gown.

Bridesmaids will be doing a lot of walking, bending, reaching, and more while they assist the bride before the wedding, and once the reception dancing starts, they should be out on the dance floor jumping, twisting, and having the time of their lives. When you all find a bridesmaid gown you love, move around in it to make sure it will be comfortable and stay in place during all of the wedding day activities.

A wonderful thought to keep in mind is that if you wouldn't wear a particular dress, don't expect your girls to. The wide array of gorgeous bridesmaid dresses that you will find in our Pompano Beach wedding dress store offers so many choices that you are sure to find the perfect gown that everyone will love.

Don't forget about our "Love at First Sight" promo too. If you purchase a wedding gown on your first visit to Angelus Bridal & Formals, your bridesmaids will be eligible for $30 off of their dresses if the price is $159.95 or more. If you find their gowns for less than that, we will still give your bridesmaids 10% off of their purchase. We not only love our brides, but their wonderful friends too!

7 Tasks to Tackle When You Agree to Be a Bridesmaid

We usually use our blog to speak directly to the bride, but this one is all about the bridesmaids. It is full of things that can be done to help the bride both before and during the wedding. Please share these tips from Angelus Bridal & Formals with all of your bridesmaids.

Purchase a Bridesmaid Dress

One of the first things to be done is to find and purchase something stunning to wear. Our South Florida bridal boutique carries a large variety of the most fashionable bridesmaid dresses from many amazing designers. You will want to begin budgeting for the dress and accessories as soon as you say yes to being a bridesmaid.

Most of the bridesmaid gowns that you see on our website can be found in stock in our Pompano Beach wedding dress store, so you will be able to try on lots of different styles when you come in. We feature fabulous fashions from Allure Bridals, Bella Bridesmaids by Venus Bridal, Bill Levkoff, and Mori Lee by Madeline Gardner.

We also have an extra-special bonus available every day. If the bride buys a wedding dress on her first visit to Angelus Bridal & Formals, each bridesmaid dress will be given a $30 discount. (Discount applies to gowns priced $159.95 or more. If the price is less than that, a 10% discount will be offered.)

Be the Bride's Personal Assistant

Wedding planning involves lots and lots of decisions and errands, which can be both time-consuming and stressful. Let the bride know that you are available to assist her when she needs it. Run errands, help with DIY projects, give input on her dress (if she asks for it), and generally offer to be there when it all gets to be too much for her to handle alone.

Offer Emotional Support

You are a bridesmaid because you are a very close friend or family member, and the bride loves and trusts you. One of your most important jobs will be simply to listen. Whether the bride is gushing about wedding details, complaining about the things that aren't going right, or de-stressing with an emotional crying session, you simply smile, nod, and offer comfort. This is a once in a lifetime event with a roller coaster of emotions attached. Give her the support she needs to get through it.

Plan Pre-Wedding Parties

A bridal shower and the bachelorette party are both events that are not planned by the bride or groom, so the bridesmaids take these tasks over. She can give you a guest list, but the theme, activities, and all the other decisions are up to you guys.

Attend Wedding Related Events

As a member of the wedding party, if your schedule allows, you are expected to attend any wedding related events before the big day. This includes engagement parties, multiple showers, and bridal luncheons. Please note, even if you attend every bridal shower, only one gift is expected. You will need to make time to attend the wedding rehearsal too, so that there are no surprises on the wedding day.

Take Care of the Bride

You have been providing support during the planning process, but on the big day, your job's not over yet. You will be there to help the bride get ready before the ceremony. Make sure she eats and stays hydrated throughout the day, keep track of her cell phone and other items, help to bustle her dress, and even assist her when she needs to use the restroom. (That's a difficult task to tackle alone in a full skirt!) You do the worrying and thinking for the bride and just let her enjoy the day.

Play Co-Host

You have the inside scoop, so you can help to make sure guests know when they should be someplace and where to go. Be ready to give a toast to the happy couple if asked. Also, it is your job, along with the groomsmen, to make sure everyone gets out on that dance floor and keeps the party going all night long.

There are lots of things that you can do to help the bride enjoy this very special time in her life. When you are helping someone that you care deeply for, it's not work, but a pleasure and an honor to help in any way.

That's how we feel about the women that shop at our Pompano Beach wedding gown store. We care deeply about each and every one of you. When you come into Angelus Bridal & Formals, we will take the time to put you in a dress that makes you look and feel like the magnificent woman you are.

7 Tips to Find the Perfect Bridesmaid Dresses

Finding the perfect bridesmaid dress in South Florida is a very important task on your wedding to-do list. After all, those dresses will be standing up front with you while you are saying I do, and they will be prominent in most of your wedding photos. Plus, they will be worn by some of the most special people in your life. Angelus Bridal & Formals has a few tips to help you find bridesmaid dresses for your girls that all of you will love.

1. Determine the style.

You will want your bridesmaid's dresses to fit into the general style and feel of your wedding, whether it be romantic, eclectic, rustic, etc... Use your own wedding dress as inspiration. Styles that are similar to what you have chosen to wear always look nice standing alongside you at the altar.

2. Be mindful of the season.

If you are having on outdoor wedding in the middle of July, don't put your bridesmaids in a heavy material. Same idea, don't pick short, thin dresses for a winter wedding unless you are getting married in a tropical climate. The time of year that you are getting married in should be a major factor in the styles that you choose from. The time of day is important too. Afternoon weddings are generally less formal than evening weddings.

3. Remember comfort.

Your wedding day is going to be a long one. Everyone will want to be in something that isn't painful or annoying an hour into the festivities. There are numerous bridesmaid gowns available that are both stunning and easy to wear.

4 Don't break the bank.

Keep in mind that the cost of the bridesmaid dress is not the only expense that your girls will have. There will also be shoes, jewelry, wedding gifts, and possibly alterations and hotel stays, just to name a few. These women are a part of your special day because they care deeply for you, just as you do for them. Be mindful of the price for them so that no one has to be put in an uncomfortable situation because of finances.

5. Start shopping early.

The dresses will have to be ordered once you decide on them, and it is very likely that they will need an alteration here or there. The earlier you begin shopping, the less chance you'll have of the dresses not being ready in time for the wedding.

6. Trust your girls' opinions.

These are some of the most important people in your life, otherwise, you wouldn't have asked them to be in your wedding. Most likely, they are all different sizes and shapes, and bridesmaid dresses are not "one size fits all." Work together to find gowns that are flattering on everyone. If you are having a difficult time doing that, consider different dresses for each girl in a matching color or complimentary shades. Choose a few options that you love before your girls go shopping with you and narrow down their choices with your picks.

7. Ask yourself one important question...

Would you want to wear that dress? If it's not something that you would want to put on, then don't make your bridesmaids do it. Put yourself in their shoes, literally. If they have problems with a dress that you like, try it on yourself. You may see their point of view a little better.

Bottom line, be a good friend. Work together as a team with your bridesmaids to find a look that you all can love. Begin your search at the best bridesmaid dress store in South Florida where we will take special care with each and every one of you.

As a bonus, if you buy your wedding dress at Angelus Bridal & Formals on your first visit to our store, each of your bridesmaids will get $30 off of her dress when she is ready to buy it. With the amazing bridal fashions that we have for you, everyone will look their very best in all of those wedding photos that you will be enjoying for years to come.
