The Choice is Yours....or Theirs!
When it comes to the bridesmaids, be specific if you are leaving the dress and shoe
choice up to them. If a black cocktail length dress and strappy sandals is what you want
to see on them, don’t be shy in making that clear.
Naturally everyone has an individual style and seeing a bridesmaid show up on the big
day in blue velvet platforms is enough to send you into a tailspin. The same goes for
dresses. Some brides opt for allowing the bridesmaids to choose their own dresses as
long as they are the same colour.
Mother-of-the-Bride
Another important gal to remember is the Mother-of-the-bride. This is a big day for her as
well; it’s her daughter after all that is in the limelight today…which means naturally she
gets some play today too. Shopping for Mom’s dress is a great way to spend some
time together and you likely will appreciate that this is one instance where you won’t have
to make a decision, Mom can handle this one.
Groomsmen
Now we can’t forget your groom and his men in this section! Hamilton tux rentals are
available through several vendors in the city.

Bridesmaid Dresses
Getting your bridal party together and shopping for the
bridesmaid dresses is always a fun outting. With
thousands of colours and styles to choose from you are
sure to find what you are looking for. A-line cuts in
dresses and skirts are very popular as they are flattering
on most body types. It is nice to have each bridesmaid try
the dress on, you want to get a good idea of what your
crew will look like standing next to you on the big day.
Again when it comes to planning the style you are looking

look with each bridesmaid in the same dress or individual
styles made from the same fabric? The choice is yours!

For Unique Styles Consider a Dressmaker
Do you have a style all your own and want to be part of designing your wedding dress?
Hamilton dressmakers and seamstresses are a great idea to help design and create
your perfect wedding dress. Most will offer photographs of their work, and some may
even have current projects near completion that you can see in person.
When working with a dress maker, be sure to point out exactly what you do and do not
like at the initial stages. Magazine cutouts are helpful to bring along highlighting the
features that you are looking for in your wedding dress. If you go in with an idea of a
shorter length and a few months later decide a train is what you really want you may have
a problem on your hands. In other words, have each aspect of your dress in mind ie.
sweetheart cut vs. strapless, cap sleeves vs. sleeveless, train vs. no train…you get the
point.

Trend: Individual style
A trend in recent years is
choosing bridesmaid dresses in
the same fabric but different
styles and cuts. For example,
one bridesmaid might prefer
strapless while another looks
best in a v-neck halter.

Tip: Have a fashion show
If you have given your
bridesmaids flexibility in
choosing their own dresses and
shoes, avoid surprises on the
big day by getting the ladies
together for a "fashion show" a
few weeks prior to the wedding.
