OK, so, I had this huge wedding coming up, and let me tell you, the whole planning thing was a total whirlwind. One of the biggest things on my to-do list was figuring out the bridesmaid and groomsmen outfits. I mean, these are my closest friends and family, and I wanted them to look and feel amazing standing next to me and my partner on the big day. And let me tell you it was quite a trip!
Choosing the Bridesmaids
First things first, I had to decide on the number of bridesmaids. Some folks go all out with a massive bridal party, but I’ve always been drawn to the idea of a smaller, more intimate group. After giving it some thought and chatting with my fiancé, we settled on having just two bridesmaids. It felt right for us, and honestly, it made the whole process a lot less complicated!
Next up, I started brainstorming about what I wanted my bridesmaids to wear. I’m not the type to dictate every single detail, I wanted their input, you know? We went back and forth with some ideas, and finally, after a few fun shopping trips and browsing online together, we found the perfect dresses. They ended up being these gorgeous, flowy gowns that I think will look absolutely stunning on both of them. And let me tell you one of my bridesmaids was initially unsure about the style, but once she tried it on, she was totally in love! I am so happy that we finally found them. This was the first step.
Onto the Groomsmen
Once the bridesmaid dresses were sorted, it was time to tackle the groomsmen. My fiancé and I discussed a few options. We were thinking, do we want them to match the bridesmaids exactly, or just coordinate somehow? After going through some wedding magazines and checking out what other people had done, we decided to go for a coordinated look. It seemed like it would be less of a headache, and honestly, I liked the idea of a little variety.
The Final Look
We decided that the groomsmen would wear suits in a color that complemented the bridesmaid dresses. We also picked out some cool ties and pocket squares to tie everything together. It took a bit of trial and error, but we finally found the perfect combination. I even managed to find some matching accessories for my fiancé, so he’ll be coordinated with his groomsmen too. I think it’s going to look really sharp!
- First, chose two bridesmaids.
- Second, picked the bridesmaid dresses after shopping and browsing.
- Third, decided on a coordinated look for the groomsmen rather than a matching one.
- Fourth, found suits, ties, and pocket squares for the groomsmen.
- Lastly, selected matching accessories for the groom.
In the end, getting the bridesmaid and groomsmen outfits sorted was definitely a process, but it was also a lot of fun. I think what really made it work was involving everyone in the decision-making, and being open to different ideas. Can’t wait to see everyone all dressed up on the wedding day! It’s going to be epic!
