1. Determine the colour and material of the bridesmaid dresses according to the wedding theme, venue and date

Firstly, determine your wedding date and the venue where your wedding will be held, and determine your wedding theme and overall colour palette. Then filter the material, style and colour of your bridesmaid dresses according to the season and theme, which will increase efficiency.

For different themes such as seaside, lawn or rustic weddings, which can be matched with different shades of dresses.

In addition, the date of the wedding will also affect the material of the bridesmaids' dresses. If it's winter, you can opt for warm materials like velvet. In summer, the peak season for weddings, we suggest you choose breathable and comfortable fabrics, such as satin, and chiffon for your bridesmaid dresses.

You can choose light blue, or light pink satin dress for your seaside wedding. For a lawn wedding, it suits green and coral tones. If your wedding is indoors, go for a classic dress like champagne or gold that you won't go wrong with.

2. Determine the colour and style of the bridesmaid dresses according to the bridesmaids' body type and skin tone

When you put on a dress, we see the colour of your exposed skin and hair, as well as the contours of your body, so choosing bridesmaid dresses for different body types and skin colours can successfully hide your flaws and make your strengths shine.

Different skin tones

In general, we divide skin colours into warm, cool, neutral and olive skin tone. What is your skin colour?

2.1 Warm skin tone

Look closely at the colour of your veins. If it is green or olive then you may have a warm skin tone. People with warm skin are suited to wearing warm colours, which will make them look gentle and approachable. Recommended colours: Gold, Champagne, ivory, Rose gold, Burnt orange.

2.2 Cool skin tone

Girls with cool skin tones have blue or purple veins. Girls with cool skin look good in soft or cool-coloured dresses. Recommended colours: Silver, Ivory, Mint-green, Lavender, Blushing-pink, Coral.

2.3 Neutral skin tone

Your veins are colourless, which indicates that you are a girl with a neutral skin tone. Neutral-skinned girls have many colours to choose from. Warm colours will make them look warm and elegant, while colours like emerald green and royal blue will make them look demure and glamorous. Recommended colours: Burgundy, Terracotta, Emerald green, Royal-blue, Daffodil yellow.

2.4 Olive skin tone

Olive skin is not common, if you have this skin colour then we suggest you choose a dark dress, this will make you look beautiful and clean, there is no need to choose a colour that is too light. Recommended colours: Brown, Burnt-orange, Moss, Dark-navy, Burgundy, and Cabernet.

Different body types

Body shape also varies from person to person. Apple, pear, hourglass, strawberry, straight, and rectangular - which body type are you?

2.5 Apple-shaped body

Apple-shaped, which is what we usually call an O-shaped body. This type of person has most of the flesh concentrated in the waist and hips. We recommend choosing a high-waisted bridesmaid dress to make you appear slimmer. Keep the top as simple as possible and avoid complicated embellishments.
