If you’re a bride shopping for bridesmaid dresses right now, you obviously don’t want to choose any bridesmaid dress styles that are going to upstage your dress. But at the same time, you also don’t want to make any bridesmaid dress buying errors that are going to make your bridesmaids mad at you.

Here are four bridesmaid dress buying errors that you should avoid at all costs.

  1. Going With an Off-the-Wall Style

When you begin shopping for bridesmaid dresses, you’re going to find that there will be so many different styles of them. You should look around at as many styles as you can and see them in different dress sizes to get a sense of what they’ll be like on your big day.

Ideally, you should try to stick with a simple, classic style for bridesmaid dresses as opposed to going with anything too crazy. You might unintentionally allow your bridesmaids to upstage you if you go with dresses that are too out there.

  1. Picking Out a Hideous Color

In theory, you might think that dark brown or bright yellow bridesmaid dresses will look amazing at your wedding. But they could end up looking hideous if they aren’t the right color.

It would be better to buy dusty blue bridesmaid dresses that will be a lot more subtle. They’ll make your bridesmaids look beautiful without making them stand out like sore thumbs.

  1. Choosing an Option That’s Too Expensive

Your bridesmaids are likely going to be spending a pretty penny on your wedding already. They’re going to have to pay for everything from your bachelorette party to your bridal shower.

With this in mind, you should try not to force them to spend a small fortune on a bridesmaid dress. This is one of the bridesmaid dress buying errors that could start to turn your best friends and closest family members against you.

Comparing dress prices should help you land on one that you’ll know all your bridesmaids can afford.

  1. Failing to Listen to the Opinions of Bridesmaids

Your wedding is your wedding. So you should get most of the say over which dresses your bridesmaids wear.

But you shouldn’t discount the opinions of your bridesmaids altogether. That’s bad bridesmaid dress etiquette! Instead, you should try to include your bridesmaids in the decision so that they feel like you value their opinion when it comes to what they’ll wear at your wedding.
