It used to be: "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride."

And that, quips Pamela Fiori, was because of the dresses they had to wear.

Not only that, but all bridesmaids don't have to wear the same outfit or the same styles, Fiori adds, "as long as it's generally in the same color scheme. I think that is so liberating."

Town & Country has put together a new book titled Elegant Weddings.
