When shopping for the bridesmaid formal gown design, keep in mind that this is big expense for your maids and ask yourself if you would ever even consider wearing the dress that you are considering for them. If not, then you may want to keep looking.
Of course, most brides will say something like, "It is my wedding and I should make these decisions based on what I want." Yes, that is true, however sometimes these dresses are picked because the bride does not want to be outdone or over-shadowed by the formal dresses her attendants will be wearing.
When in reality if she wants her wedding to be as close to perfect as possible that means everyone needs to look good, including the bridesmaids. Additionally, if you are having a flower girl, then you should have fun deciding from the many adorable flower girl dresses available.
If at all possible try to find styles and colors that will complement your friend's skin tones and sizes when considering the bridesmaid lunadress. Of course, you will not be able to match everyone completely but something in a pastel is a good choice, as a soft color usually goes with any type of skin tone. Try to go easy on the ruffles and bow embellishments, especially for plus size dresses, unless you want a surly wedding party.
