If the style of your wedding is city chic, then a one shoulder silhouette will be ideal for your bridal party. This design is now being offered by most of the bridesmaid dress designers, in every price point. For a formal evening wedding, opt for a floor length one shoulder bridesmaid dress in a gathered chiffon. In the daytime, a knee length style will be more summery and light, especially in a popular color for 2010 like periwinkle blue. The elegance of the one shoulder gown also looks lovely when interpreted in glamorous silk charmeuse, but only for indoor weddings. Since the neckline does not allow for a necklace, look for sets of bridesmaid jewelry with a dangly pair of earrings and a couple of bracelets to stack.
The halter neckline is a fairly versatile one. It is being shown in bridesmaid dresses which run the gamut from tailored shantung styles to sexier flowing silks. One of the more intriguing designs is a tailored shantung in a two-tone design. The bodice of the halter dress is one color, and the skirt portion a contrasting color. This is an interesting option, as it would allow for a lot of customization within the dress, and also adds a graphic punch to your attendants’ attire. For evening weddings, charcoal is one of the most popular wedding colors for 2010, although personally, I find it a bit subdued for summer. It would be fun to choose a bolder color like bright purple or fuchsia, which are much livelier and a great match for festive summer wedding flowers.
