You've found the groom, the venue, and [your perfect wedding dress](https://info.newhopesoap.com/blog/etsy-wedding-planning)--but now don't forget to dress the ladies who will be standing by your side on the big day. [Bridesmaid dresses](http://www.pinterest.com/newhopesoap/bridesmaid-dresses/) can be tricky, and sometimes the prospect of picking out a dress that fits the wedding and your bridesmaids can be overwhelming. Don't panic: if follow the suggestions below, both you and your bridesmaids should be happy with the result.
### **1. Be budget-minded**
You can't expect your [bridesmaids to break the bank on a dress](https://info.newhopesoap.com/blog/16-tips-for-finding-the-perfect-bridesmaid-dresses) that--let's be honest--they probably won't have an opportunity to wear again. When you're first going dress shopping, decide on a reasonable price per dress and stick to it.
### **2. Stick to a timeline **
You should begin looking for your [bridesmaid dresses six-to-eight months before the wedding](https://info.newhopesoap.com/blog/feeling-overwhelmed-heres-some-advice-for-planning-your-own-wedding). This leaves plenty of time for you to pick the perfect dress, have fittings, and get alterations done, and doesn't leave you stressing for time at the last minute.
### **3. Complement your style**
You don't want the bridesmaid dresses to clash with your dress--or even worse, overshadow your dress completely. You also want to keep in mind the [colors, theme, and location of your wedding](https://info.newhopesoap.com/blog/wedding-style-choosing-your-colors). A short, flashy dress may not fit seamlessly with a traditional church wedding, and a taffeta gown probably won't complement a boho beach wedding.

1. **Match the wedding dress without outshining it.** Make the dresses a similar style, but more plain and simple.
2. **Don’t limit yourself to bridal stores.** You just might find the perfect dresses at a prom store or a department store, or even online.
3. **Don’t even look at dresses outside the price range.** It just creates problems. If you are paying for them yourself, don’t let your bridesmaids talk you into extravagant dresses. If your bridesmaids are pitching in, keep in mind their limited budgets, too.
4. **If the maid of honor has a different dress**…
5. **Keep in mind the different body types.** Some dresses work better with bustier bridesmaids, while some work better with the long and thin girls. Look for dresses that will be flattering on *all* of your bridesmaids.
