Hello ladies!
We want to talk about those ladies that you pick to be your bridesmaids.
Those women that you have been friends with either since you were little girls, or your sorority sister, or even future sister in law. You have picked them to be the women to keep you sane along the way.
You get to boss them around and make them do things throughout your engagement. How fun can that be ;) They will help you books appointments, help you make decisions, pick things up for you, like that pint of Ben and Jerry's you really needed after one of those days! They go through a lot to help you out. So do you really need to add onto that with a tacky bridesmaid dress? Everyone knows the bride does this so she is the most beautiful person in the room that day.
But ladies... YOU DON'T NEED TO PROVE THIS!
You are absolutely gorgeous and you are the only one your new hubby sees in the room. Trust us! So let's ditch the horrifying dresses for the women that you drive crazy and give them something beautiful to wear! After all, don't you want your pictures to look perfect and original?!
Keeping it classic and traditional with all your bridesmaids in the same dress and color. But, instead of going for the short strapless satin dresses or the long organza dresses with dull colors like eggplant and pea green. Out with the boring and in with a vibrant color with a simple silhouette and delicate flower accents! And your bridesmaids can reuse this dress too! They'll really love that!
The Preppy Look
All of you ladies that were in a sorority in college all know what designer your bridesmaids will be wearing in this section. And that's Lilly Pulitzer! Any of you who are throwing a preppy summer wedding, you will be sure to have your ladies dolled up in Lilly's fun prints and conservative cuts! Have flower girls? You can dress them in the same print dress as well! And for the groomsmen, they can wear matching ties!
Who says that glitter is just for prom?! These dresses are wonderful for the bride who wants her wedding to sparkle!! What's great about these dresses is they come in different styles for different shapes and sizes of your maids. They are also a soft nude/grey color. This doesn't make these dresses over the top, and really shows off all the beading! Any of you going to a Gatsby look? Sparkles are where it's at!
For any of you brides that want to try the new craze of mismatched wedding dresses but nervous that your pictures with your ladies will make it just look awkward, then the ombre look is the way to go! Pick out the same silhouette for all of your bridesmaids, and then choose shades of your favorite color. Hues of blues, pinks, purples, even neutrals or whites if you're not wearing a white gown! This will give you that fun look but keep it traditional as well!
This is for the non traditional bride! Having all different silhouettes, lengths, fabrics and colors will give your wedding party its very own look that no one else can have. Picking these out can be a lot of fun too! you and your true few can go out together for the day and have them all pick out their favorite dress! Or to make it even more interesting, have your ladies pick out their gowns together without you. And surprise you on your wedding day! I mean you're already not the traditional bride, why not make things even more interesting!
I hope you've gotten some inspiration to change things up at your wedding and ditch the old, tacky bridesmaids dresses we've seen for far too long!
xoxo, SKL
