Let’s talk the truth about bridesmaid dresses.
They’ve come a long way from bright pink and blue taffeta! But let’s be honest,
has anyone ever worn their bridesmaid dress again? Well, the surprising truth is that many
of the bridesmaid dresses today are quite stylish and trendy.
First of all, the styles of bridesmaid dresses have
improved dramatically over the past few years. Today, we’re seeing a lot of A-line dresses which look great on all different body shapes and sizes.
The hottest styles right now are two-tone, two-piece floor length styles, mostly sleeveless. Also very popular are
column style dresses, floor length, halter top or straps criss-crossing over the back and
sleeveless.
Designers are also getting very creative when it comes to
color and fabric. It’s not just pinks and blues anymore. Platinum is
very in at the moment, as well as the paler colors, pale yellows, sand, and taupe. There
is also a trend toward burgundy and hunter for Fall weddings too.
At one time, you’d never catch anyone wearing black
at a wedding! Now, black is always in style and always a popular choice among both brides
and their bridesmaids. In addition, many of the designers today are also using better
quality fabrics like dupioni silk, silk chiffon and satin, velvet and crepe.
Accessories can really enhance the look of the bridesmaid gown. Gloves add an elegant touch to the bridesmaid attire
and look really stunning with all the sleeveless styles.
Also very popular are Kenneth Cole Shoes. He updates bridal shoes every season, and are up-to-the-minute styles. They are
stylish and affordable, and can most certainly be worn again either dyed or not.
Another huge trend is having a shawl accompany the dress, particularly the barer styles. Some people feel uncomfortable in
such bare dresses during the ceremony, so the shawls are an elegant cover up.
