POINTS Team Top tips for dressing the bridal squad Squad goals To keep your team on side, here are some top tips to help: ❤ You may have a fixed vision of how you want your best girls to look, but sometimes a little compromise can go a long way, especially if it means they can all feel comfortable, relaxed and happy on the big day, as this will shine through in the photos. ❤ If you’re having a theme, make sure it’s clear from the get-go without chopping and changing, so there’s no confusion. ❤ Set the budget, make sure everyone knows the maximum spend and who’s paying for what so there’s no embarrassment. ❤ Consider the time of year when choosing fabrics accessories and styles to avoid sweltering in summer or shivering in winter. The type of venue is a key factor too if you want a look to complement the setting and feel of your wedding. ❤ If distance prevents you getting together with your besties to choose and try on dresses, there are a number of great one-style-fits-all multiway ranges available that can be worn to suit different sizes and shapes. ❤ Alternatively a mix-and-match look can be stunning. All you need to do is choose the key colour or send out a fabric swatch and let your girls pick their own outfits to blend and coordinate with your theme. ❤ For something truly original to stand out from the crowd, you can always go bespoke. So you’ve got your dream dress, now it’s time to get the other important members of the bridal party sorted. If you’re looking for a coordinated look for the whole gang, it pays to get organised early on. Communication is key and if your bridesmaids all live nearby, a few girlie nights in with fabric swatches, colour charts and a bottle of fizz or two, can all be part of the fun. If your squad is scattered far and wide there’s always FaceTime or Zoom to help you stay connected. The main thing is to try and keep everyone involved and excited for the big day to come.
