Here are a few tips that will help you during the process:

Consider skin tones and body type. You want your bridesmaids to look and feel beautiful on the day too, so choose a color that works well with their skin tones and body shapes. You may even want to throw hair color into the mix when deciding on a color.

Keep the season in mind. Before you decide on a look, take the season that you will be getting married into consideration. It’s fine to choose long dresses in summer or short-sleeve dresses in fall but just make sure that your ladies are comfortable.
Start shopping early. You never know how long it will take you to find the perfect bridesmaid dresses so don’t start shopping too late. Plus, you may need to order your dresses and delivery could take a while so keep this in mind.

Price matters. If you will not be buying your bridesmaid dresses, it’s really important to keep the price in mind. Your bridesmaids are investing quite a bit of time and money in your big day so when possible, take the costs into consideration.

Get their opinions. Your bridesmaids will really appreciate having a say in their dresses so ask them if they had any ideas about what they would like to wear. You should, of course, still have the final say but it’s great to include them in the process too.
