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!

3 Things To Look For In A Bridesmaid Dress

Your beautiful bridal gown is the most important fashion item you will need to pick out for your wedding day, but once you've made that decision, it's time to start thinking about your bridal party. We offer some of the most exquisite bridesmaid dresses in South Florida. There are lots and lots of gorgeous gowns to choose from in our shop, so today Angelus Bridal & Formals has a few things to keep in mind when you begin the search. 

Style
While you don't want your bridesmaids wearing the exact same style you'll be walking down the aisle in, it does look nice to find something similar for them to wear. Your wedding party will look their best as a whole when the fashions compliment each other. 

Decide if you prefer the ladies to wear the exact same dress or different styles that tie into each other somehow. Bridesmaids not matching exactly is a very popular look, and it's a wonderful way to make sure that everyone finds a style that is most flattering on their particular body type. The key is to have at least one element of the dress that brings them all together into one cohesive look, such as picking gowns that are different complimentary colors but all the same length, or possibly all dresses that are strapless. 

Comfort
Comfort is a very important factor to look for in a bridesmaid dress. Your lovely ladies will be wearing this particular gown for a very long time on your wedding day, and if their dress is uncomfortable, it will be difficult to look their best in all of those wedding photos. They will need to be able to move around easily in them too, to help you with tasks throughout the day and dance the night away at the reception. 

Price
The sky may be the limit when it comes to your wedding dress, but this is your special day, so spending a little more than you normally would on a gown is most likely in your budget. Your bridesmaids, on the other hand, may not all have the funds to spend a lot on their dresses. It would be terrible if one of your friends had to say no to being a bridesmaid because it cost too much. 

Be mindful of what you are asking everyone to spend, remembering that they also have to buy the accessories to go with it, plus wedding and shower gifts too. They can still look amazing without spending a fortune! We have many affordable bridesmaid dresses at our Pompano Beach bridal boutique in a variety of styles and colors. 

After you let Angelus Bridal & Formals help you find the wedding dress of your dreams, make an appointment to bring in all of your bridesmaids to try on gorgeous gowns to wear next to you on the wedding day. Our goal is to make sure that everyone looks their beautiful best. While your group is here, every one of them will have the consultant's undivided attention during the appointment, and they will use their knowledge and talent to help you find something absolutely perfect for everyone.

How To Shop For Bridesmaid Dresses You Will All Love

Finding the perfect bridesmaid dresses can be a difficult task. The more women that you have in your wedding party, the more body shapes you are trying to fit and the more personal styles you are trying to match. We not only carry the most beautiful bridesmaid dresses in South Florida, but we also have a few tips to offer so that you and your bridesmaids are more likely to agree on which dresses are the best. Keep these in mind when you plan your shopping trip to Angelus Bridal & Formals.

Matching Dresses - Yes or No? 
You need to decide if you want all of your bridesmaids to wear the same gowns, or if you would prefer to use more than one dress style for your wedding party. Matching dresses will require a style that can be flattering to the different body types that will be wearing them. If you plan to let your girls wear different gowns, make sure that each one has some type of unifying element to tie them all together. This can be different shades of the same color, or possibly a certain length with different necklines.   

Decide What You (The Bride) Like
This is your wedding, so the dresses that will be standing next to you at the altar should be something that you like. Finding gowns that are similar in style to your wedding dress, without looking exactly like it, is a good place to begin the search. This can give your entire bridal party a very unified overall look. 

Do keep in mind, though, that you aren't the one that has to wear the dress. Something you absolutely love may not be a favorite of someone else. A great idea is to take your maid or matron of honor shopping with you first to pick out a few different gowns that you both like. This way, your bridesmaids will have choices to pick from when you all shop together, but all of the choices will be something you have already pre-approved.  

Trust Your Bridesmaids
If someone is in your bridal party, they should be a good friend or close family member. This means that they love you and have your best interests in mind, so they won't pick a dress that they know you do not like. Since they will be the one wearing the gown all day and having to pose for tons of photos in it, take their opinions into consideration when you make the final bridesmaid dress decision.  

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 gown orders to come in and any necessary alterations to be scheduled and completed. 

A Few Things To Consider
Before you make any final decisions on which dresses your bridesmaids will wear at your wedding, keep the following things in mind. 

• Pricing
  You may be willing to spend a lot on your wedding, but your friends may not be able to. Be considerate of the amount you are asking them to spend, especially if the bridesmaid dress isn't the only cost they will have on your big day.
• Comfort
  This gown will need to be worn for a long time on the wedding day, and hopefully lots and lots of dancing will be done it it! You'll want to pick out something that will remain comfortable until late into the evening. During the shopping appointment, have your girls stand up, sit down, walk around, and even bust a few moves to see if that particular dress can last them all day and night long. 
• The Season and Time of Day
  For example, if you're planning a beach wedding in mid-July, skip the long sleeves and long skirts. Match the dress style to the season you are getting married in. Also consider the time of day for formality, and if it will be cooler in the evening or your reception is indoors in air conditioning, you might want to add a jacket to the bridesmaids' wedding day look.  
• One Very Important Question...
  If you were a bridesmaid in your wedding, would you want to wear the dress you picked out? The gown shouldn't just match the overall wedding look, but it should match the lovely ladies that will be wearing them. If you wouldn't want to be seen in it, don't make them wear it. 

Angelus Bridal & Formals has a rainbow of colors and wide range of different styles to choose from when it comes to our bridesmaid dress collections. When you're ready to bring your bridal party in to find the perfect bridesmaid gowns, give our South Florida bridal boutique a call at 954-943-7768 to make an appointment. That way we can give you and all of your gorgeous girls every bit of our undivided attention during your dress search. 

Another thing to keep in mind is our incredible "Love At First Sight" promotion. If you fall in love with your dream wedding dress on your first visit to our store and purchase it right then, you will be given 20% off the purchase of your veil and headpiece. Your bridesmaids benefit too, because as an added bonus, they will each be eligible for $30 off of their bridesmaid gown purchase on dresses priced $159.95 or more. If their gowns are priced below that, they will still be offered a 10% discount. When you shop at Angelus Bridal, everyone ends up with wedding fashions that they love, and you all get great pricing too!
