Bridesmaid Dresses are what wedding gowns are to brides. If they are not appropriately chosen, it may affect the impression that the guests have of the wedding no matter how exquisite and gorgeous the bride's gown is. You see, the bridesmaids should act as a perfect foil to the bride. Assisting her on her special day, as only good friends can, and helping her to look great as well as adding to the overall 'look' of the day.
