The History of Bridesmaid Dress

 
   Wedding is an important event in life of every family. The majority of wedding traditions have come from ancient Rome and Greece that is a consequence of heathenism. In the ancient time should be present 10 bridesmaids and friends of a bridegroom at a wedding party. They were invited to frighten off an afreet which could do much harm to the newly married couple. Bridesmaids traditionally wore clothes like the bride, and best men - like the bridegroom. It was considered that among such similar dressed people the afreet will get confused and can't distinguish, where the real bride and bridegroom and therefore can't do much harm to them. Today such a tradition is explained that bride and bridesmaids are faithful and close friends before and after wedding. In the past it was important that dresses of bridesmaids completely repeated a bride’s wedding gown, but modern traditions are developed in a different way. Dresses can be in keeping with color, style or coincide with all parameters; it is a choice of the designer and wishes of girls. Often bridesmaids are chosen among unmarried girlfriends and relatives. There can be a principle bridesmaid, she is entrusted to help to the bride and look after her stuff during all day. Most often a couple covers the expenses of bridesmaids’ dresses. Elegant dresses of bridesmaids will decorate a celebration, emphasize bride’s attractiveness. The length of dresses should be combined with the length of a bride's wedding gown. Any variant is possible but if the bride decides to wear a short dress, bridesmaids have to make it as well.
   Remember an important rule – any dress on the celebration shouldn't eclipse a wedding gown of the bride, it should be the most beautiful on this celebration.
   It is recommended to select a comfortable dress, considering weather, the plan of the celebration (walks, competitions, and dances) and duration of a holiday.
    Don't forget and about different culture and traditions, respect opinion of other people.
