When it comes to bridesmaids dresses, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

There¡¯s also speculation that the bride is so blinded by love, she can¡¯t tell the dress she picked is all wrong for the women she chose to represent her.

Once you have a short list of dresses and favorite colors, an appointment should be made for all the bridesmaids to pick out the dress together.
