Where should you buy your bridesmaid dresses?

Our top tips for finding the perfect bridesmaid dresses and having the best shopping experience with your bride tribe.  At Opus we believe the best bridesmaid gowns and experiences are found in bridal stores and here's our top 5 reasons why you should make them your first choice for bridesmaids.

A wide range of sizes available to try and order

We carry a wide range of bridesmaid dresses in sizes 6 to 24 in store, meaning that no one needs to missing out on trying dresses when you visit. Our bridesmaid dresses are available to order in sizes 6 to 36, dependant upon designer so your bridesmaids can all wear dresses from the same collection regardless of whether they are petite, curvy or somewhere in-between. We also offer different lengths options including short, regular and extra length to allow all your bridesmaid the choice of heels or flats no matter what height they are.

The perfect style and silhouette for each of your bridesmaids

Worried about bridesmaids disagreeing on styles, fear not as our designer ranges allow you to evoke each of your bridesmaids individual shape and style yet still create a cohesive bridesmaid look by mixing and matching silhouettes, styles and necklines. We all come in different shapes and sizes and it's hard to find a dress that suits everyone and still looks good ! Buying from a specialist bridesmaid designer stockist enables you to pick different styles from the same designer so your bridesmaids each get a flattering dress which all complement each other giving you a knockout bride squad. 

Co-ordinating Junior Bridesmaid Styles

Have a junior bridesmaid as part of your wedding party and finding flower girl dresses just too young and bridesmaid dresses the wrong style and even the smallest size still too big ? Our bridesmaid designers have a selection of  junior bridesmaid styles as part of their collections which means your junior bridesmaid gets to look and feel part of the wedding party without compromising on style or fit.

Guests won’t turn up in the same dress as your bridesmaid…

There's nothing worse than spending ages choosing an outfit only to turn up at an event to find someone else wearing the exact same outfit. With online and high street retailers often grouping wedding guest styles and bridesmaid styles in the same categories and filters you run the risk of wedding guests inadvertently matching your bridesmaids if you buy from a fashion retailer. Choosing your bridesmaid dresses from a specialist bridal shop means that no one will be wearing the same as your bridal party and avoids any embarrassment and awkwardness for you and your guests.  

A great experience and expert advice

When choosing bridesmaid styles it can be a bit overwhelming as where to even begin ? Which style goes best with your dress ? Whats the best colour to choose ? Where to begin with deciding which sizes too oder ? At Opus you and your bridal party will be welcomed by one of our experienced, professional consultants who will be with you throughout your appointment to advise on styles, shapes , embellishments, fabrics,  colours and help you find your perfect bridesmaid dresses. What's more if you're  an Opus bride you can also have the chance to see your preferred dresses alongside your wedding dress to find what works best. Once we've found your chosen style your consultant will then measure your bridesmaids and advise on the best size for each. We then order your dresses, quality check them on arrival before inviting you and your bridesmaids back in store to try them on and collect all steamed ready to go.
