Consider when Choosing your Bridesmaid Dresses:
Do Try to find a style and color that is flattering to the different sizes and skin tones of your bridesmaids.
Don't jump on a trend without thinking of how your friends will look and feel.
Do Try to keep the price at something that everyone can afford. $200 is a good figure to keep in mind, but if you can do it for less, everyone will be happier.
Do Consider letting your bridesmaids wear clothing of their own choice. What you lose in uniformity will be made up for in comfort and happiness, which will be apparent in the way they carry themselves and smile.
Do Consider dress length: Formal and semiformal weddings call for long, ballerina-length, or tea-length dresses. At an informal or daytime wedding, bridesmaid dresses can be the same length as the bride's dress, short or long.
Do consider body types : Simple, elegant designs are the most flattering to all figures.

Bridesmaids:How to Choose your Crew
More isn’t always merrier. The more bridesmaids you have, the greater the potential for complications. Also, you’re on a limited budget, think about who has to pay for all those bouquets.
Blood is thicker than water. If you’re close to your sister and future sister-in-law, the thought of not including them in your wedding party. It's usually worth including family just to avoid unnecessary conflict. Think of it as having more bargaining power when you’re battling with your parents over the guest list.
Try not to make assumptions. Don’t write off some friends simply because you think they don’t have enough money to afford the dress you have your eye on. If she has to decline, promise to find something else for her to do in the wedding.
A bridesmaid doesn’t have to be a woman. Despite the prevalence of feminine pronouns in this guide, if your best friend is a guy, there’s no reason why he can’t be in your wedding. Today, many couples are including members of the opposite sex to stand by them. In these cases, a man on the bride’s side is simply called an attendant or bridesman, while a woman on the groom’s side can be called a groomswoman.
No, you don’t have to return the invitation. Just because someone asked you to be in her wedding doesn’t mean that you must have her in yours.
Life will go on if you have uneven numbers of groomsmen and bridesmaids. There’s no law of symmetry when in comes to wedding parties. Don’t put yourself under the added pressure to fill positions, should they be empty.
