Talk to the bride. Get a sense of her vision for the day.

Start shopping as early as possible, but not until the bride has chosen her gown and the bridesmaids dresses.
3. Make a Match

Get an idea of what styles the bride has in mind. If she wants you to wear something you are not happy with, let her know. It's her day, but you have to feel comfortable.
