Top Trends in Bridesmaid Dresses

July 15th, 2008

Throw out the petticoats! Tear off the poufy sleeves! And burn that gold lamé dress! The top trends in bridesmaid dresses are simple, modern, and elegant.

Bridesmaid dresses are definitely sexier than they used to be (within the limits of good taste, please!). One of the hottest necklines is the halter, which is flattering to almost every woman in any size. Another important trend is for the dress to be either tea-length or to the knee. Any shorter is too sexy, and any longer feels too cumbersome.

The cookie cutter look is definitely out of style. A very popular idea is to have each girl choose separates in a designated fabric and color. That creates a look that is coordinated, but not too matchy-matchy. It also means that each bridesmaid can select the cut that is most flattering to her figure. Your attendants will thank you for that!

The hottest colors are brights like canary yellow, hot pink, aqua, and kelly green. Use them as an accent of for the whole dress. On the opposite end of the spectrum are gray dresses. They work well when done in feminine fabrics like chiffon or tulle. To liven up a neutral dress, pair it with bridesmaid jewelry sets in strong colors like burgundy or coral.

Your bridesmaids will have to spend a lot of money on their dresses. Do them a favor, and choose something that they will actually be pleased to wear. The top trends in bridesmaid dresses are all geared towards dresses that are flattering and can be worn again. And not a yard of gold lamé in sight!
