The Bridesmaid Dilemma: The Dress {part 2}

Happy Friday, everyone! Here’s part 2 of yesterday’s post –  reblogged from Megan’s personal blog.

In case you missed it, last week I talked a little about a common problem bridesmaid’s face: their dresses. As a follow-up I thought I’d post some other images, ideas, and resources for bridesmaids to get your brain storming.

It’s totally possible to have all the same style dress. The key is to choose a color (or pattern!) that fairs well on most skin tones. I love these striped dresses for a casual look, and check out those pockets! I would definitely wear that again to a fancy Saturday brunch with the girls. I also believe that navy looks good on everyone, and it’s easy to dress it up or dress it down.

For softer looks, I love the flowing pleats of the Lavender Dress and Navy Enchantment by Sarah Seven.

 
Go shabby chic or vintage classic with the beribboned taffeta dress or limoncello lace dress by bhldn.

Another tip: make the accessories count! Shoes are so important the day of the wedding, especially if you’re in the bridal party you’ll be on your feet all day. I loved the cardigan idea from the previous post, but these girls got H&M dresses and bought their own boots – some heeled, some flat.

Having a fall/winter wedding? Think about long-sleeved dresses or throw in a shawl for extra warmth. I love the lace detail on these and the flower rosette hair pins.
