The style of dresses for the bridesmaids depends upon their age and the overall look that the bride wants to achieve. Some choose very traditional dresses, others prefer something more contemporary.

Bridal party fashion varies from wedding to wedding but, in general, the bridesmaids should look of a piece. Even if they are not in the same dresses, the colour should match or be of a
theme.

Many brides have their bridesmaids' hair done professionally. The accessories should be kept plain and the bouquets should complement the bridal flowers.
