In honor of Ta$ha's upcoming wedding and my summer as the professional bridesmaid, I have decided to explore trends in bridesmaid dresses that I love. Coming form the girl who rivals Jane's closet in the movie "27 Dresses", I feel as though I know somewhat what I'm talking about. From moss green taffeta to floor length apple red (with matching shoes), I've seen it all. So here are a few looks I've complied to have a fabulous fashion forward wedding and having your favorite girls look amazing, but not too amazing of course :).
1. Patterns! Why not? Taking inspiration from my fabulous friend Ta$ha, pick something fun, edgy and a bit unexpected. You might have to pull grandma off the floor when she sees snakeskin chiffon coming down the aisle (if she is anything like mine) but hey, it's your day! Anything goes when you are fearless- animal prints, florals, stripes!
2. The LBD. It's a dress you can actually "shorten and wear it again!" If you think this is too simple, blinging it out with big chunky jewels or adding a sparkly belt will make it unique. It's definitely classic and looks great on everyone! It also provides a great background for any color bouquet.
3. Vintage Looking Dresses. I am obsessed with lace. If i could incorporate lace into every aspect of daily life, I totally would. I love how romantic and fresh this look is. Also, experimenting with different shapes can give you a vintagey feel. Mismatching dresses can also add a cool touch.
ENJOY!
