Trends we love

Thankfully, bridesmaid dresses are now chic and contemporary. I personally have been lucky enough to be in weddings where the brides were sensitive to how dresses would flatter their loyal bridesmaids. My closet is not crammed full with crimes against fashion.

Your bridesmaids love you, support you, and deserve to look fabulous! Here are some combinations and ideas we're digging right now:

Different dresses, same color:

Choosing the different-dress-same-color option allows your bridesmaids to choose a dress most flattering to them, that they are most likely to actually wear again. This also allows your girls to pick the dress that is most flattering to their pocketbook! Tie the look together with the same bouquet and classic pearl necklace.

Same dress, different colors:

When going for the same-dress-different-colors option, make sure the overall effect is not "rainbow." Choose colors in the same color with varying shades (royal blue, navy, powder blue and frost), or colors with the same hue - very pale pastel versions of different colors, like the picture above.

Do you have a survival kit?

This doesn't apply to you, because everything will be perfect on your day.

But just in case, someone may want to throw a survival kit together:

For That Gorgeous Dress:
Safety pins
Needle and thread (ivory and black)
Hook-and-eyes
Lint brush
Baby wipes, baby powder and cotton balls (Got some makeup on your dress? If your dress is white/diamond white/ivory - Shake some baby powder on top, press it into the fabric with the cotton ball, then wipe it clean with a baby wipe!)
Clear nail polish (will stop a run in tulle - on your dress or veil!)

For the Gorgeous Bride:
Kleenex
Aspirin/Tylenol
Alka-Seltzer
Granola Bar (don't forget to eat a little something!)
Bobby Pins
Deodorant

Tiny bottle of Vodka (just in case!)
