In the process of wedding preparations, it is important not only to choose a beautiful outfit for the bride, but also for her bridesmaids. After all, they are considered one of the most important guests, their clothes must meet all the requirements. Choosing an elegant and at the same time fashionable dress for a bridesmaid is not an easy task. Now many designers present to the attention of young ladies a wide variety of styles and models of such dresses. Consider in the article the most trendy ideas that are practiced in modern wedding fashion.
Joint discussion
In order for the bridesmaid's dress to be liked by its future owners, it is necessary to discuss the format of the celebration, its main color scheme and theme in advance. Of course, appropriate outfits are selected for a themed wedding. For example, if the holiday is planned in the style of "dudes", then the dresses should "come" from that era. If the wedding is classic, and the bride is dressed in tender,lace dress, then outfits for girlfriends should be chosen feminine, in a romantic style. All this must be discussed in advance in order to think through all the necessary accessories, little things and nuances. We should not forget about bouquets for girlfriends, which are sure to "keep up" with the overall look.
Outfit variations
Usually, the choice is made towards one color palette, so that the bridesmaid's dress is a kind of solemn backdrop for the bride. If the guests are dressed in different shades, then in the photographs it will not look so impressive. Fashion trendsetters offer many options on how to combine girlfriends with clothes into one group and at the same time highlight each of them to emphasize individuality.
Twin Dresses
According to European tradition, all wedding dresses for bridesmaids are sewn in exactly the same way - the same color, style and material. This is considered the most expensive option and not always successful. What are its disadvantages? On the one hand, thanks to such outfits, spectacular videos and photos are obtained. But on the other hand, each girl has her own peculiarities of the figure, and one or another style may not suit her. Therefore, in order to realize this variation of attire, it is necessary to carefully select a shade that all the girlfriends would like and fit the type of appearance. A great solution would be the similarity of the shades of the girls' dresses with some kind of accessory in the bride's outfit. For example, a bright orange bridal bouquet and orange bridesmaids dresses createharmonious composition.
It is better to sew dresses to order, and not to buy ready-made products, so that a professional seamstress clearly takes measurements from all the ladies to create perfect looks. The most advantageous look fabrics such as silk, chiffon, organza, glossy satin, taffeta, etc.
Multicolor
Modern fashion designers offer a new "formula" for the images of bridesmaids at a wedding celebration - the same silhouettes in different colors. It looks interesting due to the different shades, but the overall picture remains thanks to the repeating cut. Here, the plus is that every girl can choose a bridesmaid dress of a color that will adorn her and will match the tone of her skin, hair, eye color. To unite the girls into one whole, you can use the same belts, bouquets, hair ornaments, some colorful ribbons, etc.
Difference in cut
Another variation to create images of invited girls are wedding dresses for bridesmaids of the same color, but different cuts. Of course, it will not do without pre-purchasing a large amount of fabric and tailoring outfits in the atelier. Styles can be varied to emphasize the dignity of the figure of each young lady and her preferences. In this case, everything definitely looks holistic due to the common color palette. Identical corsets, gloves or short fur coats, if the wedding is celebrated in winter, will help to put all the images together.
Dress stylesbridesmaids can be as follows: all fitted, but one girl, for example, has open shoulders, and the other has wide straps or a V-neck. Also, many people like the wide strap on one shoulder.
Creating an ombre effect
This effect creates a very unusual and sophisticated picture. Here the main highlight is the use of outfits of different shades of the same color. Shades should vary from light to dark tones and give the overall background an iridescent effect. For example, you can take tones from bright fuchsia to light powder, from pale coral to rich salmon, from sky blue to “dense” blue, etc. It’s good to keep the same styles or sew different ones, but the same length.
Same print
If the celebration will take place in an informal setting, or the general design and theme of the wedding allows, then you can create images of girlfriends not in plain colors, but using beautiful prints. Usually these are floral and plant motifs, sometimes geometric, abstraction, polka dots, a cage, etc. In this option, there is an opportunity to show your imagination. These outfits are more suitable for events in the summer, as well as themed weddings, for example, in the style of the 70s.
Transformer outfits
One of the most fashionable trends of this season is transformer dresses for bridesmaids. Such a universal option is very convenient, girls can change the same dress with simple movements. So, the dress may have removable straps,which can be lowered from the shoulders, crossed on the back, left alone. Also, a belt sometimes acts as a special accent in the outfit, which is tied in the back, in front, making a beautiful bow, on the side, you can completely remove it from the outfit. Sleeves can also be transformed: long sleeves easily turn into three-quarters with a fastener, unfasten or roll up higher.
What is the advantage of transforming dresses for bridesmaids? Its low cost due to a wide selection of colors and fabrics. As for the latter, such clothes are usually sewn from elastic and wrinkle-resistant materials that do not create discomfort during the holiday and do not need special fitting.
Skirts and blouses instead of dresses
At a less formal occasion, the bridesmaids don't always wear the same dresses. If this is an outdoor event and does not involve the observance of strict traditions, then dresses can be easily replaced with elegant blouses and skirts. In this case, either the same color remains, or the same wardrobe item (skirt, blouse, corset). This version of bridesmaids' attire at a wedding is less common, but looks quite attractive.
Repeated accessories
If it was decided to diversify the colors of the bridesmaids' dresses and refuse to buy one material for everyone, then it would be optimal to combine the images of girls through single elements: jewelry, jewelry, gloves, flower bouquets, bracelets and even hairstyles. If the date of the celebration fell on the wintermonth, then you can put on all the ladies a fur jacket, bolero, stole. In the case of a themed holiday, items in a certain style are ideal. So, for a rock and roll wedding, you should choose the same leather jackets for everyone.
Unusual additions are worth noting separately: colorful umbrellas, elegant hats, wreaths on the head of fresh flowers, clutches, etc. It’s not bad to combine dresses of different structures with beads, sequins, sequins, which will bring radiance and solemnity into a single “team”. With the help of all these accessories, you can achieve a single style of bridesmaids, the main thing is not to overdo it and not overshadow the bride's outfit. The correct selection of shoes, which can be of the same color or model, will help to complete a single picture.
Difficulties in choosing
Each bride has faced many difficulties while choosing a festive attire for her bridesmaids. Among the main problems, it should be noted the different tastes of ladies, body types, appearance. So, if a blue bridesmaid dress is perfect for one girl, then it will not suit another. Therefore, it will take a very long time to work with the choice of color. The most common shades for creating bridesmaid outfits at a wedding are peach, coral, pink, blue, powdery, menthol. This season, lilac, turquoise, purple, blue and marsala have also been added here.
Another challenge is the limited wedding budget. If the bride does not have enough money to buy a lot of beautiful and naturalmatter, pay for the atelier, you can use such an opportunity as the rental of bridesmaids' dresses. This is very beneficial, because the dress will not always be worn after the celebration. Often, after the festivities are over, it just hangs in the closet as a reminder of a good time.
Among other things, bridesmaid dresses should match the overall design and theme of the wedding, and not act as a separate bright spot. We are not talking about the fact that the clothes should merge with the walls of the restaurant or flower arrangements. But if the color of the wedding is pink, then blue or green dresses will look a little out of place. To achieve harmony, you need to think through all the nuances in advance, discuss everything with your friends and plan the preparation time correctly.
