Here at The River House Wedding & Event Venue outside of Missoula, Montana we know our brides want their bridal party to be happy and comfortable. So helping your bridesmaids find the right dress is a good beginning in having a beautiful and stress free wedding. By checking out our website, riverhousemontana.com you can see how the right bridesmaid dresses would look in our gorgeous setting.

First start with a theme, what is the overall vibe you want for your wedding? Creating a color palate is a good beginning and from there you can decide if there's a certain style of dress you want your bridesmaids to wear. You want your wedding party to enjoy themselves and that starts with everyone feeling good about how they look.

Second taking different body types and color preferences into consideration helps everyone to feel confident when they walk down the aisle. You can try to find a flattering dress for all but often that is difficult which has lead many a bride to present color options and then let the bridesmaids pick their own dresses out. It is a good idea to give everyone some guidelines so you can feel comfortable with their choices before they buy something. Options to consider is length, material, color and how revealing you want the dress to be. It's your day so once you have a vision let others know so the fun can begin.

Third setting a budget and discussing it with your bridesmaids can help keep the prices within everyone's range this encourages a smoother process without anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Fourthly the season of your wedding is a good guideline for material, color and type of dresses you'd want for your bridesmaids. In the spring pastel colors work well then keeping that theme in the summer as wildflowers pop up at the outdoor wedding venues in Montana. For summer, linen and cooler materials are helpful in keeping everyone comfortable. In the fall the colors of the aspens and tamarack trees encourage golden and rust colors in your wedding. Then the winter has a the beautiful whites for the bride and the deep blues and grays that the Montana skies often display.

Finally you can also accent the dresses with accessories. Shawls or even flannel shirts for your western themes which we often see around Missoula, Montana. Items like earrings or necklaces often given as gifts from the bride can be a common accessory that all the bridesmaids wear.




Dress shopping can be a great group activity or if it's more convenient then shop individually. Some wedding shops in Missoula, Montana include Bridal Bliss, Missoula Bridal and David's Bridal. For online options there is ASOS, BHLDN, Anthropology and Etsy. To bring the experience and vision together suggest sharing pictures of each others dresses if they haven't already seen them. Make sure the purchases are done early enough so if returns or alterations are needed there's no time crunch.

It's such a wonderful time for bridesmaids to be involved in the wedding plans so keeping communication open can minimize everyone's nervousness. Being sensitive to their individual comfort levels in in how they dress will reduce any tension and create a more bonding and enjoyable experience.
