Another choice for Informal Bridesmaid Gowns is to let the girls pick out their own dress. You can dictate as much or as little about the dress as you want. Dresses the maids pick themselves should be simple, in order to avoid having numerous patterns in bridesmaid photographs.

Common guidelines for letting the girls pick out their own dresses include any of the following: Color(s), Material, Length, Sleeve (shoulder, spaghetti, strapless), Neckline, Designer, etc.

If your bridesmaids are all friends, you can shop together and find a Casual Brideamaid Gown at a department store or online shop. The evening dresses also can work for an informal wedding.

Pros of Informal Bridesmaid Dresses

Even a more formal bride should consider letting her bridesmaids wear informal dresses. Plain, simple informal looks can be dressed up with a sash, bolero, hairstyle, jewelry, and other accessories. Reasons to let bridesmaids wear informal dresses include:

Cost: Informal dresses often cost less than the formal gowns and are very considerate for bridesmaids who are on a budget.

Body Shape: Informal dresses often offer more choices of fabrics and cuts for women who have hard-to-fit bodies.

Future Use: An informal dress, especially ones the bridesmaids had a hand in choosing, will let themselves to be used at occasions after the wedding.

Informal bridesmaid dresses are a great alternative to glamorous expensive dresses that will only hang in the closet after the big day. They can also help make the bridesmaids feel more relaxed for photos and at the reception, and show the bride’s consideration for her closest friends.
