You want to give your bridesmaids some choice in their dresses. You want them to wear something flattering to their figure and style. (Yes, you do!) At the same time, you also want the event to look co-ordinated, not an uncomfortable clash of styles.

David's Bridal has a cool dress-designer tool on their website. You are given a range of skirt and bodice styles, some accessories to choose from, and a wide range of colors. This is very helpful in choosing a style to flatter each member of your wedding party.

Not only do you get to see each dress individually, but you can put them all together, see them side-by-side, and get an idea of the total effect -- before anyone spends a penny! No matter where you end up purchasing the dresses, you will have a very clear idea of just what you're all after. What a great way to reduce wedding dress stress!
