Bridesmaids Accessories

Dear Brides: Every wedding has a theme, no matter how simple.  If you want your bridesmaids to be uniformed, wearing  matching accessories, consider gifting the jewelry to them before the wedding. Everyone loves gifts!  Covering the cost is a great way to avoid having to make an announcement of things you don't want them to wear (i.e. flashy jewelry, head-pieces, noisy bangles, etc.) on your wedding day. You can blend colors, or have a more traditional look. It's YOUR day so while their input will be appreciated, the decision is ultimately up to you.   
Let's not forget about shoes!  If you're not asking your bridesmaids to wear matching shoes, then you should be specific about the color and style of shoes you expect them to buy to wear down the aisle, down to the heel type. Although these are your best friends, everyone's feet are different, and everyone's style may not match yours.  These beautiful ladies will be in most or maybe even all of your wedding pictures, so don't leave it to chance. Here's a tip: Encourage the ladies to bring a comfy pair of shoes to change into at the reception. 
One more thing...Nail polish!  For the sale of uniformity, feel free to ask your bridesmaids to wear matching nail polish on their hands and their toes, especially if they will be wearing open-toe shoes. French manicures or plain white polish go beautifully with most styles.  Good luck!
