The Art of Getting Your Bridesmaids on Board with Your Dress Choice!! | Wendy Dessler, Guest Blogger

At last, the moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived. Revealing the dress selection to your bridesmaids and gauging their reactions. This can be simultaneously thrilling and terrifying. You’re hopeful that your ‘maids will fall in love with what you’ve picked out and waste no time in ordering their outfits, but fearful that you’ll encounter heavy resistance to your choices along with a fair share of scornful glances.

Most of the time, this step occurs without incident. If you do have a ‘maid that isn’t on board with the dresses, though, there’s no need to panic. It’s often just a case of them not understanding how you came to your decision, in which case a quick explanation is the best way to clear things up. How should you approach this? Concisely address their specific objections. We’ve compiled some of the most common ones below.

Common Dress Complaints

They Don’t Like The Color. Let’s say, for instance, your ‘maids aren’t approving of your choice of green bridesmaids dresses. It could be that they don’t see how it fits into the larger theme. Show them the wedding color palette, and how green accentuates the storybook vibe you wanted. If they understand how the dress color works in the context of the big picture, you’ll likely assuage their initial concerns. It could also be that they don’t think a particular shade works on them. If you’re going with a mismatched dress style, show them the specific color options. Once they realize they can get something more in line with their personal aesthetic, those color complaints are bound to disappear.

They’re Worried About The Fit. This is an easy concern to put to bed. They’re wondering how they’ll be able to get that style of dress to fit their body type. They don’t realize that you’ve already got this one covered. Just explain to them that Azazie makes dresses to order. Accommodating their individual fit won’t be an issue for our skilled tailors.

They Think It’ll Be Too Expensive. Bridesmaids have to juggle a multitude of expenses to be integral members of the wedding party. It’s natural that they would show concern about the cost of the dress (especially one as stunning as an Azazie dress). All you’ll have to do is explain to them how we keep costs low. There’s no middleman, no antiquated retail practices, and no fluff in our craftsmanship. We believe that quality bridesmaid dresses should be attainable, which is why we put such a high value on affordability.

Now, Onto The Big Day

When you lay it all out for your ‘maids, their fears about a dress selection will begin to fade. They’ll see why you picked that color, how the dress style will work for them, and that they won’t have to empty their wallet just to look their best. Now you’ll be able to move onto the next step in the process, and get ready for the big day. There will be more decisions to make down the line, so if you need inspiration, check out some examples of past clients that we’ve helped to achieve their wedding goals. There’s no shortage of ideas, and we’re always happy to go the extra mile for our valued customers.
