Having chosen your bridesmaids, maid of honour and flower girls, hopefully without offending too many friends and relatives in the process, your next dilemma is the bridesmaids dresses.

It is difficult to find a dress that everyone will be happy in. The flower girls just need to look pretty and charming however older bridesmaids do not want to look like mutton dressed as lamb, and young bridesmaids don't want to look their granny. The most important thing is that everybody is happy so they don't have to think about what they are wearing and enjoy the day. Remember to think about the bridesmaids shoes and jewellery as well!

While flower girls are usually delighted with strappy flat sandals or ballet pumps, older bridesmaids may feel uncomfortable in flat shoes, regardless of whether their heels will mean that they tower over you.

Many brides choose to give their bridesmaid a gift of a simple piece of jewellery to be worn during the wedding and kept as a wedding keepsake afterwards to thank their bridesmaids for playing such a fantastic role!
