In the last few years, the struggling economy has influenced the trends in bridesmaid dresses. Even though the economy is looking a little brighter, the trends from the harder times are carrying over and evolving into what the trends will be for bridesmaids this spring!
One of the biggest trends recently has been the knee-length bridesmaid dress. Even though there are many brides who still love the floor length gowns for their bridal party, shorter lengths have increased in popularity. The increase in popularity is due to the fact that knee-length or cocktail-style dresses are more likely to be worn again. This re-usability makes them a great economical option for bridesmaids. Brides who choose these reusable styles for their bridesmaids are doing them a huge favor.
The strapless dress also still holds its own, for bridal gowns and for bridesmaid dresses. Many, if not most, of the dresses for spring 2011 are strapless, an elegant style that emphasizes the neck and shoulders in a classically feminine way. A strapless bridesmaid dress that has been properly fitted to its wearer is one of the most flattering styles around. Just be sure to invest in a quality strapless bra!
A more edgy trend that has rapidly grown in popularity lately is the one-shoulder look. Bridesmaid dresses that hang off of one shoulder provide a unique shape and gives the bridal party a fashion forward, bold look. The single strap is a sassy and urban look that can also be feminine and delicate.
Sequin embellishments, Lace Floral, and beads are all feminine touches that are back this season to give a soft feminine look. In 2011 we are going to see a more body conscious look. Ruching, bows, and sashes are a popular trend to use in order to emphasize a natural waist line for classy look.
As far as colors go, this year we will be seeing some brights like orange, yellow, fuchsia, apple green, emerald, and amethyst. There will also be some of the classics present like Navy, chocolate brown, and gray.
Last but not least, the growing trend of a color coordinated bridal party instead of a completely uniformed or exactly matching bridal party will be back this season. More brides are letting their bridesmaids personalize their style and are stepping away from the concept that each bridesmaid needs to look identical. Brides give them a color palette to choose from and/or a few styles to choose from, giving each bridesmaid a chance to pick something they will really love.
No matter what cut, style, or color the brides pick this season, the biggest trend will be for the brides to provide their bridesmaids with something they will love forever. Giving your bridesmaids a dress they love will make for a more enjoyable wedding for them make the saying “always a bridesmaid, never a bride,” a little less depressing.
