Alright, so you’re tellin’ me you gotta figure out these bridesmaid dresses, huh? And you’re thinkin’ black and white? Well, let me tell ya, that can be fancy or plain, depends on what you’re lookin’ for.
First off, you gotta think about the weddin’. Is it a big fancy-pants thing in a church or somethin’? Or is it more like a backyard barbecue kinda deal? If it’s fancy, you might want somethin’ long and flowy, ya know, like those satin dresses I seen in the store window once. They had them shiny ones with the slit up the side, kinda like what those movie stars wear. Real pretty, but probably not somethin’ you’d wear to a picnic.
Now, if it’s a more casual thing, you can go with somethin’ shorter and simpler. Maybe somethin’ cotton or… what’s that other stuff… chiffon, yeah, that’s it. Chiffon’s nice and breezy, good for a summer weddin’. I seen some dresses that are black on top and white on the bottom, or the other way around. Or maybe just a black dress with a white sash, or white flowers on it. Lots of different ways to do it.
And don’t forget about the girls themselves! You gotta think about what looks good on each of ’em. Not everyone can wear the same thing, you know. Some girls look good in long sleeves, some look better in short sleeves or no sleeves at all. Some girls got bigger hips, some got bigger… well, you know. You gotta find somethin’ that flatters everyone, or as close to it as you can get. It ain’t easy, lemme tell ya.
I heard tell of places where you can get dresses made just for your girls, that’s what they call “ made-to-order”, I think. That way, you can pick the exact style and fabric you want, and make sure it fits everyone just right. But that can be expensive, so you gotta think about your budget too. Money don’t grow on trees, ya know.
And speakin’ of money, you can always look online. There’s all sorts of websites where you can buy dresses, and sometimes they have sales. I even heard of places where you get the dresses delivered the next day, “ next day delivery” they called it. But you gotta be careful, you know. Sometimes things look different online than they do in person. And you gotta make sure you order the right size, or you’ll be sendin’ it back and forth till the cows come home.
- Think about the wedding style: Fancy or casual?
- Consider the fabric: Satin, cotton, chiffon?
- Flatter each bridesmaid: Different styles for different body types
- Set a budget: Made-to-order or off-the-rack?
- Shop around: Online or in stores?
Now, some folks say black ain’t a good color for a weddin’. Says it’s too sad or somethin’. But I think it can be real elegant, especially with white. It’s all how you do it, you know? And black sure does make those flowers pop, I tell ya. And if you add some sparkly jewelry, well, then you got somethin’ special.
And another thing, some folks get all riled up about what’s proper and what’s not. Like in some places, wearin’ black to a weddin’ is a big no-no. But times are changin’, and folks do things different now. You just gotta do what feels right for you and your girls. It’s your weddin’, after all.
So, there you have it. Just a few things to think about when you’re pickin’ out them bridesmaid dresses. It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t always easy neither. Just take your time, do your research, and you’ll find somethin’ that looks just right. And remember, the most important thing is that the girls feel comfortable and happy. Cause a happy bridesmaid makes for a happy bride, and that’s what it’s all about.
One last thing, make sure you give yourself plenty of time. Don’t go waitin’ till the last minute, or you’ll be stuck with whatever you can find, and nobody wants that. Start lookin’ early, and you’ll have plenty of options to choose from.
