If you’re currently in the process of planning your wedding, then you understand just how complicated it can get. It’s easy for small details to slip between the cracks, so today we’re going to go over one of the details that you may not have thought about yet: wedding party outfits.

Wedding Party Outfits

The outfits your wedding party will be wearing are an opportunity for you to bring your wedding vision to life, so it’s an important decision and one that shouldn’t be made wisely. If you’re feeling overwhelmed at the thought of making this choice, we’re not alone! Let’s go over some things to think about when it comes to putting together your wedding party outfits.

Overall Tone and Style

One of the most important things to think about is the overall tone and style that you want your wedding to have. Once you have that nailed down, then you can make sure that you’re on the right track when it comes to putting together your wedding outfits.

Comfortability

Another important thing to consider is the comfort level of your bridal party. This most likely will be the biggest factor when you’re picking out your bridesmaid outfits. It’s important to make sure that all of your bridesmaids feel comfortable with the dresses that they’re wearing and that they’ll also have a good time on your big day.

 

Another thing to consider when it comes to comfort is the weather of the place you’re going to be having your wedding. If you’re going to be spending lots of time outside, then it’s important to make sure that you’re on the right track and that you’re not picking outfits that are inappropriate for the weather.

Photos

Have you already thought about what photos you want taken on your big day? If you have, then consider how the outfits of your wedding party will fit into those photos. If you’re taking adventurous photos or having an outdoor wedding, then it’s important to make sure that the outfits those closest to you are wearing are appropriate.

Budget

One of the biggest factors to consider when it comes to putting together wedding party outfits is budget. Some couples choose to pay for the outfits of their bridal party, while others will ask for their wedding party to pay for their own outfits. There isn’t necessarily a right or a wrong choice here, so it’s important to think about what makes the most sense for you and your wedding.

 

If you are asking your wedding party to pay for their own outfits, then it’s very important to make sure that you’re sensitive about budget. Picking an extremely expensive dress or suit may make some people feel uncomfortable when they’re asked to pay. One of the best ways to combat this is to make sure that you’re having open, honest conversations with those in your wedding party so that everyone’s on the same page and there isn’t any miscommunication.
