A Beautifully Dressed Bridal Party

Posted on February 27, 2015 by Today's Bride

Yes, it’s the bride’s big day. Still, around her beaming aura are her bridesmaids. They need to shine, too! Choosing the right dress for the bridesmaids will be the first, and most important, decision in putting together a beautifully dressed bridal party.

First, consider when the wedding will take place. The season affects the length and color of the dresses. For instance, in the spring brides may opt for short dresses and neutral or pastel colors. In the winter, brides may opt for long dresses and dark or rich colors.

Next, start a conversation. Talk to the bridesmaids about the style, color and price of the dress. It’s important for each ‘maid to feel comfortable with both the price and design. Once the budget is set, start looking at dresses! And remember, not every bridesmaid is of the same build, so we suggest mixing and matching styles and colors so that each ‘maid looks her best. A strapless dress, halter dress, one-shoulder dress and crew-neck dress are just some examples.

Finally, consider what’s trending. Bridesmaids may not feel comfortable if something is wildly out of fashion. Browsing through catalogs, checking out websites and relying on experts, like us, who know what’s in style, is important. There is always more than one thing that’s “hot” or “trendy”.

The color, design and details all contribute to the trendiness of a dress. This year, details such as a jeweled neckline or designs such as a back cut-out, are very popular. Still there are even more trends than those!

The 2015 bridesmaid dress trends are simply beyond stunning. When browsing for the perfect dress, keep these trends in mind:

Colors – gunmetal grays or a mixture of neutrals are in style. Design – asymmetrical necklines or back cut-outs are simply gorgeous. Details – jeweled necklines or softly, sequined dresses are the perfect finishing touches.

So remember, get the conversation going with the‘maids and keep it circling around these elements. If the bridesmaids love their dresses, it will show, adding to the beautiful luster of the big day.
