Whether you have one bridesmaid or 10, having your closest friends and family surround you on your wedding day is so special. But shopping for bridesmaid dresses is an entirely separate feat that can easily become overwhelming on top of all the other shopping that goes along with planning your big day. Bridesmaid dresses are hardly one-size-fits-all, and the same goes for shopping for them. It all depends on your wedding location, theme, décor, and so much more.
