Bridesmaids are the second most important persons in a wedding, just next to the bride. For she not only stands next to the bride but also carries her flower basket and takes care of all the needs of the bride. Choosing bridesmaids' dresses is just as important as choosing the bride's dress. Bridesmaids and bridesmaids' dresses should complement and enhance the bride and the whole occasion. For the bride is the focal point of the evening, so this should not be distracted by anything flashy on the bridesmaid dress.
