Tips To Coordinate Wedding Dresses And Bridesmaid Dresses

By John Jones


Spring is a season of new life and new beginnings so it is only natural for spring and weddings to go hand in hand. While the bride will most likely be looking her best in the traditional white dress, her bridesmaids can wear the hottest colors of the season. To find out which are the most popular colors for a spring wedding bridesmaid dress, one only has to look to nature to see what is in bloom.

Gone are those overcast winter days that hid the beauty of both sea and sky. Brides who favor these shades of blue will be happy to discover this cool hue is especially popular for spring weddings. Horizon is an excellent choice for the bride who wants her wedding party to make her stand out, much like the fluffy white clouds traveling across a clear sky.A water-loving bride will find her options as vast as the sea itself. To capture the drama of the ocean at night, the deep shades of Midnight or Marine are sure to delight. Perhaps mythical creatures of the deep are what have caught the imagination of the bride. A strapless chiffon gown with a ruched waist in mermaid or Oasis will do the trick.

The vibrant colors of spring life in full bloom are also popular choices for short evening dresses. With its deep jewel tones, a gown in the color Apple is the perfect choice for the bride wanting her bridesmaids to make a bold statement in this rich shade of red. An equally beautiful choice for the bride looking for the drama of a dark shade without the red would be a dark shade of pink known as watermelon.Perhaps you would like to have your bridesmaids dressed in something bright and lively to set the party atmosphere for your reception.Tangerine is the perfect shade of orange for any bride seeking a statement. Dressing your bridesmaids in a juicy shade of plum is sure to flatter any skin tone while still setting the mood.

Rule : beware the strapless bridesmaid dress. Though most certainly look beautiful, they're incredibly irritating.Your bridesmaids will thank you for not forcing them to spend the whole event tugging on their dresses and worrying about embarrassing slips.If you want your ladies to show some skin, consider halter, single-shoulder and asymmetrical styles. Also, don't doom them to suffer in irritating fabrics. Think organza, satin or chiffon.

Not to be outdone, pretty pales are dominating the aisles. Spring and summer ceremonies are perfect for sweet, pale yellow or vibrant kelly green bridesmaid gowns for the warmest months -when perhaps skin isn't ghostly white- consider dresses in sand and taupe. Trs chic! And, of course, you can't go wrong with black; always classy and never clashy.Trend alert: combos and color runs. Many dressmakers offer different bridesmaid dress styles in the same color. Just pick your color and let your bridesmaids do the rest. Each gets to pick her own style. It's less hassle for you and more fun for them; a win-win situation (and potentially re-wearable, because it's something they actually like). Color runs simply involve each bridesmaid wearing the same dress in a different color; great for the whimsical wedding party.
