The hideous bridesmaid dresses of yesteryear are out of style.
Bridesmaid dresses traditionally have a reputation for being ridiculously loud in nature. Modern brides have been turning away from old dresses that had obscenely large bows and bright patterns. Some brides are generous and let their wedding party pick out the style of their dresses after choosing the color. Brides and bridesmaids have found that a bridesmaid's dress can be simple, elegant and classy.
Reusable Dresses
Many bridesmaids are on a budget and want a dress that they can wear out to another nice party. According to Vivian Diamond from the Dessy Group website, "the key for bridesmaids is to keep it simple and easy to wear." Simple bridesmaid dresses let the bridal party have the option of using the dresses again instead of storing them in the back of the closet. Choosing black bridesmaid dresses is the easiest method to find a reusable dress. Some brides who tell the bridal party to pick out their own black dresses are successful at giving them an economical option.
Two-Piece Outfits
Some bridesmaids choose two-piece outfits that match in color and are made of a formal fabric. Some two-piece dresses have a bolero jacket with a strapless dress. Others have a tank top with a long skirt. The bridesmaids have the option of removing the top from the outfit and pairing it with jeans for a night out on the town. They can also wear the bolero jacket to a New Year's Eve party or to a job interview.
Tea-Length
Tea-length dresses are ideal for beach and summer weddings. Bridesmaids should be comfortable in their dresses to avoid sweating and looking shiny for photos. If you are afraid that tea-length dresses will not match your formal wedding gown, do not worry. Being concerned that the bridesmaids' dresses match the wedding dress is an old tradition. For instance, a tea-length dress can still be formal by making its texture and fabric match the bride's dress.
Strapless
Strapless dresses are popular for indoor and outdoor weddings. They are in season for the fall, spring and summer. In the winter, brides can pair them with bolero jackets to keep bridesmaids warm. Although people would not generally wear a strapless dress in a church, a wedding is the exception to the rule. Strapless dresses look formal enough for a church and casual enough for the beach. They let the bridal party show off their necklines and special pieces of jewelry worn just for the occasion.
Beach Weddings
Beach weddings can be significantly informal if that is what the bride is comfortable with for the bridesmaids. They can wear beach-patterned dresses with light material that flows. A dress that looks right for a night party on the beach may be right for a casual beach wedding with a strict budget.
