Wedding Wednesday: All The Pretty Maids

(Via Ooh La Frou Frou)

I think we all have had to wear a bridesmaid dress that wasn't quite our finest fashion moment.  With the options there are today for brides, there should never be a bad bridesmaid gown. One of  the greatest gifts you can give your bridal party is a lovely dress to wear.  Most importantly, your friends must feel fabulous in your selection.  If they feel good, they will look good.  It's a tall order, for sure. This will help.

Here: Inspiration For All Of Your 
Pretty Maids

So What's Trending?

Same Color and Fabric 
Different Styles
This is my favorite trend.  My niece and I decided on this for her wedding over 10 years ago.  And you know what? There were never any happier bridesmaids!  Each maid felt her best in the style she selected. The girl that doesn't like to show her arms...didn't.  To me this is the very best idea!

Draping is very on trend in bridal this year. These two styles are quite dramatic in this deeper color.

Love this idea. Creating a depth of color in the clothing and throughout the wedding gives it all a designer look.
