The bridesmaid dresses are particularly tricky because you're shopping for somebody else. Here are some important tips:

Consider the body types, complexions, and budgets of your bridesmaids. You don't want them to resent you on your wedding day for wearing unflattering dresses or spending a small fortune.
The bridesmaids don't all have to wear the same exact dress. Consider having a single color and having the bridesmaids were different styles to suit their body types.
If you order the bridesmaids dresses from the same store as your wedding dress, you can probably negotiate a discount.
When shopping, bring a bridesmaid along for a second opinion.

You don't have to buy a dress that was designed for a bridesmaid. Often dresses at your local department store can work as bridesmaids dresses in a cinch and can save everybody some money.
When ordering custom bridesmaids dresses, the lead times can be long. Leave yourself six months or longer.
Avoid light dresses as they detract from the bride. Darker dresses are preferable.
