Trends in Bridesmaid Dresses
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.
Most of the bridesmaid dresses we will see in 2011 will be strapless. The strapless dress is another huge and rising trend in bridesmaid dresses and has been a long time trend we have seen for bridal gowns. The strapless style flatters the neck and shoulders, resulting in a very feminine and classic look. A strapless dress has to be properly fitted to it’s owner, and quality strapless bra must be used in order to enjoy the maximum flattery for the figure that this style provides.
One-shouldered dresses are also rapidly growing in popularity. The unique, asymmetrical shape of a one-shouldered bridesmaid dress suits brides who want a bridal party with a fashion-forward edge. The single shoulder strap can be delicate, for a feminine look, or bolder, for a more sassy and urban appearance.
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.
Popular colors for spring 2011 are brights like apple green, fuchsia, coral, amethyst, emerald, orange, and yellow. New classics like gray, navy, and chocolate brown will make a return appearance as well.
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.
The biggest trend of all in 2011 is for brides to help their bridesmaids enjoy their cut, style, and color of the dress a little more then in years past. Choosing beautiful, wearable, and reusable dresses for the bridal party will give them the opportunity to own a dress they will love forever.
