4 Tips For Choosing the Perfect Bridesmaid Dresses

A bridesmaid is someone that is very special to a bride.  A close friend or family member that is dear enough to you that you want them to take part in one of the most special days of your entire life.  This makes choosing the dress for this person important both because they are meaningful to you, and because they will be standing with you, helping to set the style and feel of your wedding.


Bride's of America offers you a tremendous selection of styles and colors of best bridesmaid dresses in Miami at our store.  Our prices are very compatible, starting at $149.95 up to $249.95, so your girls do not have to break the bank to look fabulous standing next to you.  Here are a few tips to help you and your crew have a pleasant experience when choosing these special gowns.

Think about the wedding style.
The bridesmaid dresses should compliment the wedding as much as they compliment your friends.  When you start shopping, consider your own dress's fabric and style, the wedding colors, the season, and the place that you are getting married.  Our best sellers still tend to be long dresses, but if you are getting married mid-Summer on a beach, maybe a tea-length or mini would be better for your girls.    

One size doesn't fit all.
Just as each of your friends has a unique personality, more than likely they also have a body shape that is not exactly like all of your other friends.  It is very important to look for dress styles that can be flattering on all shapes and sizes.  If only 2 out of your 3 bridesmaids look stunning in the gown, it doesn't hurt to keep looking.  These are special people to you, and you do not want anyone feeling bad about themselves at your wedding.  You want them all to feel beautiful and be happy with you.


The same, but not identical.
A very popular trend for bridesmaid dresses is to have each girl wear a different dress, eliminating a little of the pressure to find one style that suits everyone.  You pick one color and fabric, and each girl gets to pick the dress style that she looks the best in.  If you are lucky enough to find that one style that all of the girls love, you can get them all in different colors if you are having a very colorful wedding, or in varying shades of the same color.  It's also nice to tie each dress together with other unifying elements, like having them all in the same shoes or having everyone wear the same piece of jewelry.  The goal is to look like you all belong together.    

Trust your bridesmaids.
It is your day, so the final say will be yours, but remember that your friends love you as much as you love them, and someone in that position will not be trying to ruin your day.  Trust their opinions.  Start by picking out the dresses that are your favorites, then let your bridesmaids weigh in on their favorites from your choices.  A bride always tells her bridesmaids "... and you can wear it again after the wedding!"  When you listen to what your friends really like in a dress, this is much more likely to actually happen.



Brides of America carries all types of styles in splendid colors, gorgeous patterns, and exquisite fabrics.  We even offer mix and match tops and skirts to flatter everyone.  Our Mori Lee bridesmaid dresses are designed to create a beautiful bridal party in fabulous fabrics from chiffon to lace.  The collections that we carry include Bridesmaids, Affairs, Angelina Faccenda Bridesmaids, Lace Affairs, and Tulle Affairs by Madeline Gardner.  



We would love to assist you and your bridesmaids in finding the perfect dresses for your wedding. Let us help you showcase your beautiful wedding party and add to the special feeling of your grand day.

The Difference in Shades of Wedding Dresses


Wedding dress "white" is a little different for every bride.  One of the reasons that we consider ourselves the best wedding dress store in Miami and online is that we believe that each bride should pick the color of dress that looks the best on her and makes her feel the most beautiful.  White, ivory, and champagne colored dresses may look very similar to the untrained eye.  If you believe that you need a white dress just because that's what is expected, don't count out these other shades.  

In the 80's, 99.9% of all wedding dresses sold were white.  No one wanted ivory, but a big reason for that is because ivory in the 80's had a very yellow shade to it. 

In the 90's dress sales changed.  It was closer to half of the dresses sold being white and half being ivory.   

Today nearly 99% of Brides of America wedding dresses sold are ivory.  High end fabric that might be thought of as white to a shopper is most likely actually ivory. Today's ivory is not yellowish like before, but more of an off-white.  White dresses sold now are more of a very bright white and are often made of a synthetic fabric.  



Champagne is another popular color for wedding dresses.  While still light in color, it is just a bit earthier and darker than ivory.  The name for the color comes from the drink of the same name.   



You need to pick the wedding dress that gives you that moment where you look in the mirror and just know that it's "the one."  Brides of America is happiest when you are happy.  Choose the dress that is right for you, no matter what the color.
