1) Color
Do you want every girl to be in the same exact shade? Do you want them to be in slightly random shades of the same color? Or how about an ombre look? Or even let each girl have a completely different color? Choosing your color palette first will help immensely!! Not every dress will be available in every color and every girl won't love/be flattered by every color. Some designers don't make every dress in every color so knowing that you want emerald green or rosy pink or midnight blue will help make sure that you don't find THE perfect dress only to find out it isn't available in your color.
2) Length
First consider your venue and time of year! Will you be outside in the summer or winter? Even a 'short' ceremony can be unbearable in a dress that isn't weather appropriate! Of course, if you are getting married in a more traditional church/venue you need to make sure to keep those rules in line while you shop.
3) Cut
Knowing if you want every girl's dress to be the same, have just the maid of honor's dress stand out or have every girl's dress be different will make the process a lot easier. Each girl will have her own opinion about what looks best on her body type but believe it or not there are some cuts that flatter multiple body types that hopefully your girls will be flexible. Of course this doesn't mean that you have the right to ignore their concerns - say a super self-conscious girl not wanting to wear a strapless or form fitting dress. They are there to be a part of your day, let them enjoy it too!
So without further ado - here are some of my favorite bridesmaid dresses!
