Even though it’s the bride and groom’s special day, everyone should feel like a million bucks at a wedding. The bridal party and guests alike deserve to enjoy a bit of glamour, too, by getting all dressed up to celebrate two people they love. With that being said, there’s no denying the delicate balance that is looking your best without pulling attention away from the bride — especially if you’re a bridesmaid.
