“You can count on me like one, two, three, I’ll be there”- Bruno Mars.
Every girl has sung this song for her soul sister once in her life. Right?
Imagine singing this song as a bridesmaid on your best friend’s special day as her bridesmaid. Becoming a bridesmaid is not an easy job, as you have to be the support system of your best friend and look beautiful while fulfilling all the duties.
Have you decided on your perfect dress? If not yet, you may agree that finding a perfect bridesmaid dress that goes with the wedding theme, complements your personality, and matches the latest trend is essential.
Here are some tips on matching with trends and things to keep in mind while choosing a bridesmaid dress.
Consider the Theme of D-Day:
It’s your BFF’s wedding. If you don’t follow the theme, who will? So, choose a dress that matches the theme. Whether it’s a rustic theme or an outdoor affair, always match the style with the venue and decoration. For instance, if it is more like a formal wedding, you can wear elegant satin or structured silhouettes. You can choose if the theme is more casual than flowy chiffon or soft pastel. To make things easier, you can ask the bride how she has imagined her bridesmaid look.
Stay Updated With Trends:
Apart from following the theme, you can also follow trends. Color sets a vibe, and trendy bridesmaid palettes can make weddings fun. You can choose pastels like blush and sage for spring weddings or jewel tones for winter. Additionally, you can mix and match dresses in shades from the same family, which helps everyone flaunt a color that compliments their skin tone. You can get advice from the bride about the color to ensure your dress fits the wedding.
Choose Fabric as per The Season
Remember, choosing the dress, i.e., one that is both comfortable and stunning as per the season, plays a vital role in making you look beautiful, bridesmaid. If the wedding is in summer, choose light fabric such as chiffon or organza, which are perfect for outdoor weddings. On the other hand, if the wedding comes in winter, you can choose satin, velvet, or sequins to look glamorous. Remember to choose a fabric that will not restrict you from moving, dancing, or shining throughout the evening.
Silhouette That Flatter Personality
You agree that the right silhouette can make or break your look. You can consider A-line dresses for timeless appeal, as they are versatile and suitable for every body type. A sleek sheath silhouette can work with your personality if you want something modern. Additionally, you can choose mermaid or fit-flare silhouettes to add a bold and dramatic look. Discuss with the bride as you want your dress to complement, not overshadow, the real diva of D-day.
Add Freshness With Mix and Match
If you are bored seeing identical bridesmaid dresses, it is your chance to add freshness to the bridesmaid’s overall look. You can consider mixing and matching styles with the same color, which is the latest trend. As a bridesmaid, you can choose neckline fabrics or silhouettes that suit you best while staying aligned with your group. For example, one bridesmaid chose the halter style, while the other chose an off-shoulder dress in the same color. This trend will allow you to adapt to individuality while keeping your bride squad spirit alive.
Play with Accessories:
To look like a perfect bridesmaid, you should know how to play with accessories. Bold earrings, such as chandeliers or playful pops of color, can be considered. If you want something softer, choose dainty necklaces or bracelets. Additionally, you can choose hair accessories such as floral crowns and sleek metallic clips for modern elegance. Choose pieces that go well with your dress; don’t let the accessory distract your look.
Conclusion:
Consider yourself lucky as you can become the bridesmaid at your best friend’s wedding. Choosing the ideal dress is not about the trend; it is all about complementing the theme, expressing your individuality, and staying comfortable. From selecting the fabric to silhouette and mixing style to adding accessories, every choice makes you stunning. Lastly, don’t forget to match the bride’s vision to make her day memorable and worth remembering.
