Many brides sole concern in styling their wedding is that they remain the center of attention for the entire day. Some brides go so far as to stick their bridesmaids into hideously-hued dresses that they themselves would not be caught dead wearing.
However, unless the bride chooses to put her attendants in white gowns and veils, this notion is ridiculous; humiliating one's closest friends and female relatives in order to keep all eyes on the bride sets a negative tone for the wedding and can make for unfortunate photos and sulky bridesmaids. Yes, it is the bride's big day, but there's no need to make the people who've pledged to support one's nuptials suffer in unflattering dresses.
