Beyond putting on makeup and getting those gorgeous hairstyles in place, it's also a moment to connect with your bridal party (while having a glass or two of bubbly).

What to look for in bridal party robes

You’ll want your girls to feel beautiful and comfortable in their getting-ready robes so it's important to find a style that's inclusive of all sizes and body types. Keep in mind that some bridal party members might feel more comfortable in longer-style robes. It's also important to consider a robe's fabric as some fabrics tend to be more see-through than others.

When it comes to choosing colors and patterns, it's helpful to draw inspiration from your wedding theme and color palette and to think about how a certain style will look in photos. If you're looking to add an extra special touch to your getting-ready robes, consider choosing brands and shops that offer monogramming.
