Q&A with Vera Wang on the bridesmaids dress

Below is a recent Q&A with Vera Wang on the bridesmaids dress

Question: How do I make all of my bridesmaids happy with my choice of a bridesmaids’ dress?

Answer: It is customary for the bridal party to take the cue from the bride when it comes to wedding fashion. However, most brides these days are sensitive to the range of tastes, sizes, shapes and incomes of her attendants.

If you are finding it challenging to find a singular bridesmaid dress that suits your entire bridal party, then consider creating a common thread: Pick the color and let each attendant select a style in that color that most flatters her shape. You can also let each bridesmaid choose her own dress and create conformity through accessories, hairdo and make-up. That said, different bridesmaids’ dresses respect individuality but can also be distracting.

You are the bride, and while you should be as accommodating as possible to your bridal party, they should ultimately respect your overall vision for your wedding day including your choice of a bridesmaid dress.
