5 Common Errors with Buying Bridesmaid Dresses and How to Avoid Them

As a bride-to-be, one of the most exciting parts of planning your wedding is choosing your bridesmaid dresses.

However, many brides make common errors with buying bridesmaid dresses that can lead to frustration, stress, and disappointment. Did you know that 68% of brides reported that choosing bridesmaid dresses was one of the most stressful parts of planning their wedding?

Keep reading to find out 5 of the most common errors and find tips on how to avoid them.

Waiting Too Long to Start Shopping

One of the most common errors with buying bridesmaid dresses is waiting too long to start shopping. Many brides underestimate the amount of time it takes to find the perfect dresses and end up rushing to make a decision. To avoid this error, start shopping for bridesmaid dresses as soon as possible.

Ideally, you should begin shopping at least six months before the wedding to allow time for alterations, shipping, and any unexpected delays.

Not Considering Your Bridesmaids' Preferences

Another common error is not considering your bridesmaids' preferences when choosing their dresses. While it's important to stick to your wedding theme and color scheme, it's also essential to make sure your bridesmaids feel comfortable and confident in their dresses.

To avoid this error, ask your bridesmaids for their input. Consider their body types and personal styles when selecting their dresses.

Try to get a consensus from them on a particular thing they might like, perhaps a bridesmaid dress with sleeves, or find out what they definitely don't like and put that on the no-go list!

Ordering the Wrong Size

Ordering the wrong size is another common error when buying bridesmaid dresses. Bridesmaids may be tempted to order a smaller size to motivate themselves to lose weight, but this can backfire and lead to ill-fitting dresses on the wedding day.

To avoid this error, encourage your bridesmaids to order their current size or even a size up, as dresses can always be taken in if needed.

Not Setting a Realistic Budget

Weddings can be expensive, and bridesmaid dresses are no exception. Not setting a realistic budget can lead to overspending and financial stress. To avoid this error, set a budget for your bridesmaid dresses early on in the planning process and stick to it.

Consider options like renting dresses, buying off-the-rack, or choosing a more affordable fabric or style.

Forgetting About Alterations

Finally, forgetting about alterations is a common error when buying bridesmaid dresses. Alterations are often necessary to achieve the perfect fit, but they can also add time and expense to the process. To avoid this error, make sure to budget for alterations and allow enough time for them to be completed.

Staying Away From Errors With Buying Bridesmaid Dresses

Buying bridesmaid dresses can be a fun and exciting part of wedding planning, but it can also come with a whole new set of challenges. By avoiding these common errors, you can ensure that your bridesmaids look and feel their best on your special day.

Start shopping early and consider your bridesmaids' preferences! Order the right size, set a realistic budget, and don't forget about alterations. With these tips in mind, you'll be well on your way to choosing the perfect bridesmaid dresses for your wedding.
