Breathtaking Bridesmaid Dresses for Fashion Forward Attendants

By John Jones


After you have found your dream wedding gown, it is time to start shopping for the perfect dresses for your bridesmaids. Keep in mind the season, the location, and your wedding colors as you are perusing through the shops in search of that one style that will please all concerned. These are some suggestions on beautiful bridesmaid dresses for beach weddings.

For any outdoor wedding, light fabrics will be most appropriate. Among the best beach fabrics are chiffon, organza, and cotton. If you like texture in your bridesmaid dresses, you may also enjoy seersucker, linen, and eyelet. Keep color in mind, as well. The best hues for a wedding on the sand are light or bright. In other words, no long black satin bridesmaid dresses for your beach wedding, no matter how much your attendants beg for a dress they can wear again!

Green gowns are a good choice to add a natural touch on your wedding day. Tones of light like apple or lime green are popular and flattering in spring photos. A dark green ribbon at the waist highlights these elegant spring dresses.

Bridesmaids will always defer to the bride-to-be when it comes to selecting a dress. After all, it is her big day. But since they want their friends to be comfortable, most brides-to-be merely pick the color. They let the bridesmaids select their own style and cut of dress.

Just as white became inextricably linked to the bridal gown, colors like baby blue, hot pink, and fuchsia were tied to the bridesmaid dress. But since brides usually keep their dresses and pass them on to their daughters or daughters-in-law, color has never been an issue. Bridesmaid dresses, on the other hand, are not kept for posterity. Most of them ended up at consignment shops a day or two after the wedding. Choosing less wedding-specific colors gives bridesmaids the option of selecting a dress they can wear again.
