As soon as young girls attend their first wedding (as guests or as flower girls), they start dreaming about their own wedding. They daydream all day about what they will wear, the color of the bridesmaid dresses, the number of wedding cake tiers and what their grooms will look like (strangely enough, he looks a lot like the prince in Cinderella!).
Young divas will always dream big and a significant part of these daydreams actually come true when the real wedding arrives. Divas with better creativity and an active imagination will go beyond the wedding gown and plan for bridal flowers, limo service, and ensembles for the whole entourage.
You know how the most conventional bridal dresses are almost always white (or peachy, pinkish white)? Most women will concentrate on the design and the small details rather than the color of the bridal gown because that was pre-picked already! But, before you think too much tradition will make your wedding boring, you must realize that there are other ways of showing your creative side during the planning phase, such as choosing the most elegant bridesmaid dresses ever!
The Perfect Bridesmaid Dress
The perfect bridesmaid dress will help set off the bride’s gown. If it’s in a color that’s a shade darker than the bridal gown, the bride will literally glow when she’s standing beside her bridesmaids. Think of the bridesmaids as the bride’s “accessories” and you’ll see my point. The maidens must wear gowns that complement the bridal gown, without clashing with the wedding’s main motif.
You and your friends can gather one Saturday evening (or during the Bachelorette’s party) and start planning your ensembles using the tools provided on this website. Let me demonstrate how we can use the tools they have on this site to choose the perfect design for bridesmaid dresses.
1. Colors – Using the handy color picker, select the exact shade you want and click the corresponding box.
I chose turquoise, also known as “Tiffany Blue”. The bridesmaid dresses in that exact shade will come up and you can choose the dress length and cut you want.
2. Dress Length – Most dresses on this site will have knee-length and floor length versions.
Q: Should you go for the short dress or the long one?
A: It depends on the design of the bridal gown. If the bride is wearing a floor length gown, the bridesmaids should wear the same length.
3. Dress Design – So, which style is more appealing to you: the fun and funky one, or the demure and formal one?
I love both styles! In fact, if I were the bride, I‘d buy two sets for the bridesmaids! One for the ceremony; and the other one for partying that same night (while the bride’s on her honeymoon having fun herself!).
These bridesmaid dresses are really sophisticated and chic, and you can spend all day just mixing and matching colors, and planning around the styles you choose.
