Allow personal style to make an appearance
To help make the statement about rewearing bridal attire true, allow the bridal party to select their own look based on provided guidelines. We highly recommend this approach. When each individual can select their own looks, everyone can wear something that will allow them feel comfortable. Ultimately this leads to more energy available to focus on fulfilling the supporting role for the day.
This also gives the bridal party flexibility to dress according to their current body shape and lifestyle.
