Dress Your Best Friends in Beautiful Bridesmaid Dresses
Many years ago, bridesmaids were dressed up to stand beside the bride as a form of decoy in case warring factions or dangerous spirits decided to kidnap the bride. Luckily, times have changed. Modern day brides get to ask those closest to them to stand beside them on the happiest day of their life as a way to share in their joy, not as a means of protection. Since your bridesmaids are people in your life who know and love you best, you should take extra time to find dresses they enjoy wearing.
The overall tone or theme of the wedding has as much to do with the selection of bridesmaid dresses as does the style of bridal gown. It makes little sense to dress your wedding party in full-length gowns, gloves and wraps if your guests were encouraged to dress in comfortable, casual attire. On the contrary, it makes just as little sense to put your best friends in short party dresses when your gown’s train is several feet in length and most guests are in full black tie attire.
Belle of the Ball
Almost every woman has had childhood dreams of being a princess. Your wedding can be the perfect way to indulge this fantasy while ensuring you have beautiful wedding photos to enjoy for years to come. A strapless ball gown with divine pick-up detail on the skirt is a great start to accomplishing this look. Complete it by choosing a purple wisteria satin and a matching accent sash.
For a formal look without such a dramatic skirt, consider a fern v-neck jersey dress in a sleeveless style. The lattice embroidery work at the neckline is a nice touch to sparkle up what would otherwise be a classic look. Your bridesmaids may also appreciate the rustle of the softly flowing skirt as they move on the dance floor.
The timeless ball gown look which is available today is the strapless ball gown with the side invert of contrasting color. You can opt for this satin dress with just a hint of beadwork and embroidery in a soft shade of peridot with subtle celadon accents for understated elegance. Make sure to include the matching wrap so your bridesmaids can look stylish during the ceremony.
Sassy and Classy
Bridesmaid dresses do not have to be down to the bridesmaid’s feet. Some of today’s most popular looks are those that are as short and sassy as they are classy. If the idea of going short for your wedding party seems too much of a risk, consider a classic style with a shorter skirt as a means of balance. A sleeveless brocade dress in gold that hits just above the knees is one idea. This dress features a v-back, rollover collar and skirt with box pleats is still short and fun, but also conjures images of a time when women wore dresses everywhere and men wore hats and jackets instead of sneakers.
Few necklines are as fun as the halter-top dress, so as long as your bridesmaids are comfortable with this look, you should consider choosing it. In flat taffeta in a brilliant clover hue and bubble skirt hitting at the knees, your bridal party will look flawless be it walking down the aisle or getting the party started on the dance floor. Subtle diagonal ruching on the bodice gives this dress just a little something extra.
Fun and Floral
Often forgotten by brides and bridesmaids alike is that no rule exists stating the dress must be in a single color. Patterns, particularly floral patterns, are making their entrance onto the wedding scene in a big way. Weddings with a less formal theme can get an instant fun boost by the simple addition of a patterned dress.
For example, a full-length gown in a crinkle chiffon turquoise floral pattern can transform this standard A-line dress style with Y-neck to something more dramatic and fun. A short dress in the same fabric in Pretty Pink is also a beautiful option for your bridesmaids. Select a dress with a braided neckline and straps that cross in the back for a new take on this flirty and beautiful look. After all, times have changed quite a bit from the days when people put their pals in the most hideous dress design they could find. Make sure to reward your best friends with a beautiful dress. When choosing a bridesmaid dress, there are many amazing options available. Depending on their preferred styles, you sure to find something they all enjoy wearing. Another important tip to remember is that not every bridesmaid has to wear the same dress. However, it is usually preferred that the dresses are all the same color.
