The Prettiest Bridesmaid Dresses
Often the trusting bridesmaid has to hope and pray that the bride will select a type of dress that will look great on them. With so many body shapes and sizes among women of all ages, it’s almost impossible to please everyone. Luckily, the trends have shifted and this is good news for your bridesmaids. It is very popular these days to have bridesmaids wearing the same color and fabric, but the dress styles can all be different so that the gowns are flattering on each person.
Some of the most beautiful bridesmaids’ dresses include designer inspired, strapless or spaghetti strap dresses. Hot new looks and cuts for these gowns include one-shoulder designs, charmeuse styled busts, and cascade backs. These are very feminine styles and some of these are so fashion forward that they will find after wedding life as a wonderful cocktail or party dress.
The length of the dress is traditionally determined by the time of day the wedding is going to take place, but floor length bridesmaids’ dresses for all hours are still top sellers today. With these beautiful gowns, having a shawl or wrap can add a stunning touch. There are wraps made from organza, tulle, silks, and satins. You might also choose from delicate shrugs or sizzling bolero jackets as alternate choices.
Color trends vary from deep rich colors to very pale pastel colors and there are a number of pretty and pleasing dresses to be found in every shade. Today bold colors and jewel tones are making bridal parties smile. Metallic colors such as bronze and platinum are also very trendy selections. Remember that today is supposed to be your day and your vision; you don’t have to choose from traditional styles of dresses unless you really want to.
One of the special touches used in many weddings today is the butterfly theme and this delicate and colorful theme can be included with bridesmaid dresses. You might choose small adornments of butterflies to be added to the dress or use pretty butterfly hairpins as accents.
Another use of the butterfly theme is seen with Swarovski crystals that are used on the dresses, wraps or even in the hairstyles of the wedding party. These colored crystals can be selected in multi colors to echo the colors of your favorite butterfly’s wings. Add butterflies or roses to your bridesmaid’s attire in the form of jewelry clips for her purse, shoes, sash, or skirt for another special touch.
It may take some flexibility on your part such as giving up the idea of everyone wearing the exact same style dress so that your bridesmaids might be a little happier on your wedding day. And unless you plan to pay for their dresses, it is polite and considerate to consider the price involved in the dresses that you are choosing. These may be dresses that only get worn once for some of these ladies and the price tag might put that cringe back on their faces!
