When it comes to choosing a bridesmaid look that all your girls will love, let's be honest... it can be tough. With different girls come different body types, so how do you make all your girls feel confident and happy? Our friend and bridesmaid fashion expert Alex DeJohn, owner of Bella Bridesmaids in Little Rock, chose a few of her favorite looks to make your best girls feel their most beautiful. 

1. V-neck with wide straps:

"This style is guaranteed to make all your bridesmaids feel comfortable and secure on your wedding day," DeJohn says. "Bridesmaids have a lot of duties — carrying your train and bouquet, helping you in and out of the bathroom and even some last minute scrambling to avoid any wedding-day mishaps. These styles are bra-friendly, extremely comfortable, and are still conservative enough for your grandmother to approve."

2. Off-the-shoulder convertible:

"A huge trend in bridesmaid dresses is the ability to wear them a variety of ways — versatility is huge," DeJohn says. "These convertible styles can be worn up on the shoulder, off the shoulder, or even switched into a one-shoulder look. The elastic around the straps make these easy to wear and don't require a lot of alterations."

3. Wrap dresses:

"Wrap dresses are a great option that allow you to create a beautiful neckline while still being comfortable," DeJohn says. "Wrap dresses are easy to size and are adjustable to fit each bridesmaids' body. Spaghetti strap, cap sleeve, ruffled, braided — almost any strap is possible with a wrap dress."

4. High Necklines:

"When all else fails, go with a high neckline," DeJohn says. "High necklines ensure a modest, classic look for your photos without any fear of a wadrobe malfunction. Get creative with the back detail or skirt shape if you are looking for some variety. I may be a little bit biased because I chose high necklines for my wedding day, but my girls LOVED their dresses and one has even worn it again."
