One of the biggest conflicts that happen when it comes to a Bay Area wedding is the one between a bride and her bridesmaids over the bridesmaids' dresses. To help brides with this problem, here are some tips on selecting bridesmaids' dresses.

Color: This is one thing that the bride should be able to choose. But when you are choosing your bridesmaids' wedding ceremony color, take into consideration your bridesmaids' coloring. Have a base color, but be willing to compromise on the shade.  The other thing that some brides do is to have a rainbow color wedding.

Style: This is something that your bridesmaids should be allowed to help with in deciding. Try not to choose a style that is to garish or frilly. The best type of dress is the one that they can wear again to another formal dinner.

Remember, these dresses are dresses that your bridesmaids will be paying for, and they should be able to enjoy wearing them. So take that into consideration and choose a style and color that will make all your ladies happy.

You want to choose a style that will look good on all of your bridesmaids and that enhances their best features. When your bridesmaids wear the dresses that they like and they know they look good in, things will be a lot less stressful for everyone.

If you aren't sure what type of dress will work for everyone, talk to people at the bridal shops and they will assist you.
