Unique Bridesmaids

It used to be that every bride "dressed" her bridesmaids exactly alike... same dresses, same shoes, same jewelry, same manicure, same hairdo, same bouquets. If every woman had the same shape, height, hair color and length, skin tone, etc., that method of cookie-cutter perfection would be great. However, we women come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and what looks wonderful on one woman can look downright horrible on another.

Today's brides are much more kind to their bridesmaids. Bridal shops offer dresses that come in a multitude of shades so that a bride is able to choose her color and then allow each of her bridesmaids to select their own unique dress in that color. Each bridesmaid is able to choose a dress that flatters her individual figure.

Another newer trend that allows a bride to add a unique touch when it comes to her bridesmaids is varying their bouquets. There are two way to do this. The first is to have every bridesmaid carry a different color of the same flower. The second is to have every bouquet be completely different while carrying out the same color scheme. For instance, if a bride wanted all of the bridesmaids bouquets to be red & white, her florist could use different flowers for each bouquet while keeping the red & white theme.
