Wear Again and Again Worthy Bridesmaid Dresses
The key to a successfully wearable (again!) bridesmaid dress is a classic cut, flattering fabric, and a not-too-trendy hue (no lime green, please!), and most importantly, allowing them to have some input. Here are five that pass the test with flying colors.
The One-Shoulder Dress
This style is popular right now for many reasons: it's cute without being adolescent, sexy without looking cheap, comfortable, festive, and easily accessorized. Throw on a pair of dangly earrings and get your girls an updo that shows off the neckline. She can wear it to events for years to come.
The LBD (Little Black Dress)
If you are awesome enough to have a glamorous black-tie or Gatsby-themed wedding, consider doing your bridesmaids the amazing favor of having them wear a little black dress. The LBD has been the darling of the fashion world.
It famous with Breakfast at Tiffany's, and your girls will look just as grand. As we all know, the LBD is welcomed at almost any events, so let your bridesmaids pick a style that suits them. They can't go wrong.
The Blush Brigade
My favorite trend for bridesmaid’s dresses is to go with several different shades of beige, blush, and rose. This way, each girl gets to choose her own dress in the color that suits her best — a foolproof way to ensure she'll want to wear it again.
After the ceremony, your 'maids won't look like clones on the dance floor, but they'll still look fantastic as a cohesive group in pictures. If you still want to be in on the process, have them text you photos of potential dresses before they buy or set some guidelines.
The Illusion Neckline Dress
Sheer necklines are lovely on brides of all body types: they won't fall down and they look fancy enough for the most elegant of Charlottesville weddings. They're easy to wear again with a blazer and statement necklace, or a fun pair of colorful pumps. Knee-length works well for this style of dress, and you can get away with a brighter color.
The Floral Dress
If you are having a garden wedding or just like the idea of happy floral patterns on your bridal party, this is the style for you. A floral dress can easily be worn again in spring and summer to tons of outdoor activities like barbecues, picnics, baby showers, you name it.
It can be dressed up or down, and no two girls will look the same in the dress. They'll smile every time they put it on, which will be often!
Yes, it is your wedding, but you don't want to stick your favorite girls in a dress that's uncomfortable, unflattering, or unwearable again. Keep them in mind when choosing a dress, or better yet, take them shopping with you. With everyone's input and a little luck, you'll be sure to find the best choice for all from MyDressLine.
