Keeping your wedding party on trend

Planning a wedding is a big job, especially when everyone you know has an opinion about what should be worn. When it comes to the bridesmaid dresses, you can either pick them out on your own or provide bridesmaids with guidelines in choosing their own attire. The bridesmaids dresses usually compliment the wedding colour scheme and the brides dress, sometimes echoing the style in a more subtle way.

In the past, bridesmaids dresses were often home made, and, could often be the very opposite of stylish. But this is no longer the case, with many dresses now being bought from the evening wear section of places like Coast and Monsoon. For teenage bridesmaids, you can also use a prom dress finder as these are often more than suitable for a wedding and offer a princess/fairytale look that so suit a younger woman. If you bridesmaid is soon to be going to their prom, this dress could work for both occasions.

Either way you go, you will want to be aware of the summer bridesmaid dress trends that are hot right now. Here are a few of the trends that any bridesmaid in any wedding can pull off.

Lace
The top trend in wedding attire is always lace. Bridesmaids can look great in head-to-toe lace, or it can be added to parts of the dress for a more subtle look. Lace can really stand out in two ways. The first way is to add it to the neckline for a sophisticated look. The second way is to have the skirt made of lace with a contrasting colour showing through underneath. This style is a little more fun and great for weddings that are not seriously formal. These are the dresses that you will talk about and celebrate if you do a Wedding Photo Swap after the big day.

Sparkle
Bridesmaids dresses are supposed to take a backseat to the glitz and glamour of the bride’s dress, but today’s designers are adding a hint of sparkle and flair to bridesmaid dresses so they can feel special too. While most of the trendy dresses only add the sparkle as a subtle hint, this additional element can be tailored to suit the needs of your wedding theme. This style is best utilised for formal weddings, and if you want to be on trend twice, your bridesmaids can wear dresses with sparkly lace for added depth.

Ombre
For more casual weddings, an ombre style dress can be the thing that sets the wedding party apart from the scenery. The ombre style is basically a fade from one color to another down the dress. While it can be subtle, you can also have a bolder ombre style that mixes a number of colors into the design. This trend is great for outdoor wedding. particularly those being held at the beach.

Choosing what your bridesmaids will wear is an important part of the overall look of your wedding. As long as you love the look and your bridesmaids are comfortable in it, you can have fun with style and fashion.
