Beach Weddings also offers a beautiful ceremony for renewing your vows. When a wedding takes place on the beach, it is likely that the weather will be warm and dry. Brides with beach weddings in the past have worn anything from a white bathing suit and sarong to a full-blown princess style wedding gown with all the bridal trimmings. Most of the bridesmaid dresses out there were too formal and just too much for the beach.

Your bridesmaid dresses will be a big part of the look of your wedding.

It might seem like a print would only work on bridesmaid dresses for an informal wedding, but this is definitely not the case. For a black tie wedding, a stunning look for your bridesmaids would be a floor length gown in a pewter color with a black brocade design. To make it even more luxurious, look for a dress that is created with the design in cut velvet or devoré – yum! Add bridesmaid jewelry sets created from jet black crystals or lustrous pewter colored pearls for the perfect finishing touch.

Prints for daytime weddings can really run the gamut from sophisticated to playful to country. On the more elegant side would be a toile done in a limited color palette. This is a classic print that works best on simple cuts, like strapless A-line gowns. You can use a toile bridesmaid dress in almost any setting, indoors or outdoors. It is even possible to order toile that is designed in themes that fit in with your wedding (such as scenes of Nantucket). Sets of pearl bridesmaid jewelry will top off this timeless dress beautifully.

Of course, floral prints are always lovely, and you will have many great options for your attendants’ dresses. One of the most original is to choose simple dresses made from Liberty print fabric. This iconic small floral is printed on a soft cotton fabric that would be wonderful for an informal wedding in a garden. Wedge espadrilles would look fantastic for the bridesmaids’ shoes with a Liberty print dress.

If you prefer a more bold floral print, check out some of the large scale graphic florals that are in style this season. They are often done in a high contrast palette, such as cream and black. This design looks particularly great when it “grows” up from the hem of the dress and gets more sparse at the top. Not only will the dresses have great visual interest, but they will not be too bold by your bridesmaids’ faces.

Stripes are a fresh idea for bridesmaid dresses at any time of the year. They can be done in so many ways. A crisp blue and white stripe looks nautical and classic, perfect for a wedding by the ocean. Add some flair with shoes or jewelry in a bright color like lemon or cherry red. If you are looking ahead to a winter wedding, stripes can be rich and elegant when done in deeper tones such as aubergine and chocolate in a full length gown.

When you are thinking about patterned bridesmaid dresses, one other design to consider is plaid. Plaid can be used for an entire dress, or as a sash on a solid color. You can use a red tartan for a Christmas wedding, a bright madras for a summer afternoon, or even a menswear inspired houndstooth print for something totally unexpected.

Black tie weddings are always so elegant and sophisticated. If you are planning a black tie affair, not only does the bride need to find an appropriate gown, but so do her bridesmaids. These are some of the hottest trends for formal and fabulous bridesmaid dresses.

 First of all, a formal bridesmaid dress can be just as chic and stylish as one for a more relaxed wedding. They are not the big poufy dresses that bridesmaids had to wear to evening weddings in the past. For a black tie wedding, your attendants should wear floor length dresses, but they can still be very current and sophisticated.

Other than length, color is going to be one of your biggest decisions to make about your bridesmaid dresses. The trend for formal gowns is to go with deep neutral colors. You hear a lot of colors names like pewter, charcoal, slate, chocolate, and even black. What you are not finding is very many bridesmaid dresses in light or bright colors for formal weddings. It is not to say that you can’t have a floor length apple green dress for your attendants if it is your heart’s desire, but they may stick out like a sore thumb amongst the tuxedos and guests in more subdued colors.

The styles of formal bridesmaid dresses these days are slim and chic – there is not a petticoat in sight! Two of the most popular fabrics are silk chiffon and tissue taffeta. The chiffon is a beautiful flowing fabric that will fall softly in a slim skirt. It is often being shown with a pleated or shirred bodice falling into a skirt that is slender, but lightly gathered at the waist. All of these fabric effects help to make the chiffon a more forgiving fabric than it is when used in a single layer or draped on the bias. Your bridesmaids will thank you for this!

Tissue taffeta is a fabric with a crisper hand than the chiffon, and it is also opaque, unlike the sheer chiffon. The tissue weight of taffeta is wonderful, because it retains some of the same crispness of regular taffeta, but its lighter weight allows it to be pleated and gathered without being bulky. It is a great choice for a bridesmaid dress when you want a gown that has a skirt which can hold a shape like a slim A-line. The taffeta would also be fantastic for a black tie wedding in the fall or winter, whereas the chiffon is best for warmer weather.

There are many stylish necklines available in formal bridesmaid dresses. The same symmetrical one shoulder look that was so hot at the Oscars can be found in a gown for your attendants. Other fantastic neckline choices include a deep-U shape, spaghetti straps, and the sweetheart neckline, which is another red carpet favorite.

The finishing touch for your bridesmaids will be the perfect bridesmaid jewelry. For a black tie wedding, you will definitely want to amp up the glamour factor. Look for fabulous bridesmaid jewelry such as sparkling chandelier earrings, elegant drop necklaces, and stacks of pearl and crystal bracelets. Special jewelry makes a great bridesmaid gift from the bride, and it will help your attendants to look and feel complete in their formal gowns.
