It seems almost too easy to find fashion inspiration these days with social media at our fingertips. Whether you come across a great brand, a friend’s dress, or find someone random wearing a fabulous outfit, Instagram has tons of ideas. Technology and social media is so advanced that you aren’t left searching for these items that you find and love. Most outfits are tagged with the brand and sometimes even linked right to the store, making shopping for items you find a simple task. Pinterest is also a fabulous place for inspiration, especially when you get lost for hours searching anything and everything.
The bride usually chooses the colour for the bridesmaids dresses, which can sometimes be a difficult task.
If you want your girls to look great, it can be tough to find a colour or style that suits everyone. There is always a simple, flattering colour like black that can totally work, but if you want to go out of the box, consider other colours. Popular colours for bridesmaids dresses are blush, or a light pink which can be flattering on most, if not all skin tones.
Another great way to ensure everyone finds a dress they feel comfortable in is by giving everyone a range of colours in the same family to choose from. This goes for style as well, giving the bridesmaids some freedom can not only make them feel comfortable, but variety makes for beautiful photos. Try this even with a print l like florals. It can look so beautiful especially with a larger number of bridesmaids!
An easy tip is to choose a colour is to go with the season. Something light and fresh like a light pink is perfect for a summer wedding. A darker colour such as navy is perfect for a winter wedding. If you want to go bold, the Pantone Colour of the Year is always a good place to start (and so trendy!). The colour for 2018 is Ultra-Violet. If this colour is too purple or too bright for you, consider trying different shades or purple, for a softer look. Some brides that are having a more formal wedding prefer long gowns, while more casual weddings might prefer bridesmaids in shorter dresses. Either way, finding the perfect bridesmaids dress is a fun, yet sometimes daunting task.
