Tips for selecting your Bridesmaids...How many do you choose?

 

*A good guideline is to have one groomsman and one bridesmaid for every 50 guests.

*More isn't Merrier
Speaking of size, remember that the more bridesmaids you have, the greater the potential for complications. In other words, you'll need to get more people to agree on a dress or decide on a bridal shower date. And if you're on a limited budget, think about who has to pay for all those bridesmaids bouquets. That's right -- you.

*How Many Maids?
One of the first things to consider when selecting your bridal party is how many guests you're planning to invite. While bridal parties can range anywhere from a single maid/matron of honor to more than a dozen attendants, most wedding experts agree that a good rule of thumb is to have one groomsman and one corresponding bridesmaid for every 50 guests. (This doesn't mean, though, that you have to go ask a stranger to be in your wedding just because your fiance has one more attendant than you do. Life will go on if you have uneven numbers of groomsmen and bridesmaids.) Also, a large wedding party traditionally signifies a formal wedding. So if you're planning a small, intimate gathering, ten bridesmaids might be a bit too much.

Tuxedos...DO's & DON'Ts

 

Do... 

*Check out styles of tuxedos and bring them in to your appointment so we can see the look you're going for.

 

*Set up a time about 6-9 months before your wedding to pick out the colors and styles of your tuxedos.


*Bring a swatch of fabric of your bridesmaids dresses if you are trying to match a specific color. Of course if you get your bridesmaids dresses at our store, we can pull the color swatch for you :-)

 

*Give all of the gentlemen in your wedding party a deadline for getting measured, which is typically 2-3 months before your wedding. 

 

Don't...

*Wait until the last minute to pick out your tuxedo attire.

 

*Let your guys measure themselves. Make sure they get measured professionally at a mens' store or bridal shop.

 

*Worry about the tuxes being a perfect fit the first time they are tried on, we adjust the tuxes during the final fitting so all the guys will be looking great!

 

* Forget to return all of the tuxes the day after the wedding to avoid late charges.
