First of, the most important thing is to decide on the number of the bridesmaids. In case you're having a small wedding, you should also have a smaller bridesmaids count, and if you're having a big wedding, you can have more bridesmaids. It's essential that the bridesmaids are your close friends or relatives, they will be there for you, and you can be sure that they will do anything to make your big day easier. To avoid unpleasant situations, make sure to assign them roles at the very beginning. Let one be in charge of your dress, one for the bouquet, one for the music...This way, everyone will have it's role, and will feel useful.2. Dresses And Details

It is a custom for bridesmaids to wear the same dresses. In case your bridesmaids are not the same body type (which will most likely be the case), pick out the same material and let every dress be custom made to fit each one's figure. If it's not important for you that the bridesmaids have the same dresses, you could all make a deal, or just let them choose what will they wear. Sometimes, things can go overboard with the jewelry, so advise your bridesmaids to choose minimal jewelry, to ensure there is no exaggeration.
