Current trends in wedding bridesmaid dresses to keep ladies waiting happy


Nowadays, a bride can choose as many of her close friends and family members as she wishes to be the bridesmaids in her wedding. Choosing wedding bridesmaid dresses that are fashionable as well as flattering will make sure your bridesmaids are confident and smiling as they accompany you down the aisle. Here are some of the current trends in wedding bridesmaid dresses to keep your ladies in waiting happy.
The lace has not only made a statement on the wedding gowns but spread to the bridesmaid dresses as well. Inspired by the Royal Wedding’s Kate Middleton, lace has made a comeback in a variety of dresses. This year, the short Retro-inspired bridesmaid dresses are especially popular. Complemented by lacey patterns, these dresses are perfect for an edgy, contemporary bride and a modern ceremony. Lace can make a dress more delicate and feminine or it can add a spark and a rebellious note to the ceremony.
Floor-length bridesmaid dress has been around for centuries. These formal dresses can be purchased with a full skirt or straight. The type of wedding theme will often dictate which skirt style will be worn. For a romantic, historic wedding the skirt of the bridesmaid dress is often full. The bridesmaid will need to purchase the hoop slip or crinoline slip to wear under the dress to provide its appropriate volume. They could also use a bouffant type of petticoat to provide a more comfortable way to add volume to the dress. Formal, yet modern, weddings will require the bridesmaid to wear a straight floor length dress. These dresses do not require any special type of slip to be worn to complete the look.
Cocktail length bridesmaid gowns are perfect for informal or modern wedding themes. These dresses come in a wide variety of colors as well as styles. Many brides are choosing this option for their bridesmaids today. These cocktail length dresses are one of the only styles that can be worn for other occasions and allows the bridesmaid to gain more use from purchasing it.
The one-shoulder bridesmaid dress is a handy compromise for girls with any type of figure. Curvy girls would still be able to show off their lovely silhouettes while the slender girls won’t have to worry about the dress falling down. The latest trend this year is to use flower-inspired elements to create a stunning strap.
Although the majority of wedding bridesmaid dresses are still monochrome, a trend is creeping in for bold patterned gowns. Polka dots, stripes, floral prints and geometric designs are all making their mark on modern wedding bridesmaid dresses.
