We love seeing a hint of a bridesmaid's style at the wedding. Here are a few ways to let your best friends show off their individual tastes and look stunning while doing so! After all, their personalities are why you love them.
CUSTOM BOUQUETS
Customize their bouquets or boutonnieres. Give each bridesmaid (or bridesman!) his or her own flower arrangement that differs by color or flower composition—think about each one’s personality and select signature colors or flowers to create a bouquet. We also love sewing a miniature monogram into the bouquet sash. Swooning about these striped tulips with their delicate ruffled petals against a chic Gunmetal or Navy dress...
STYLISH ACCESSORIES
Another option is to collaborate with your bridesmaids on accessories, shoes or hair ideas. Pinterest is a fantastic way to do this, especially if your bridesmaids don’t all live in the same city. Simply start a board with a few beautiful inspirational images, invite your bridesmaids to pin and voilà. Many brands also offer a buy feature on their pinned items making purchases quick and easy (we love checking off our wedding planning to-do list with the help of our gal pals!). Your bridesmaids will be lovely in (and love you for choosing!) a sophisticated Little Black Dress. The Madeline (with our signature Melon lining peeking out) is one of our favorites especially when styled with chic Christian Dior Stilettos and a Gatsby-inspired vintage necklace...
BRIDAL MANIS
A third idea is a selection of stylish manicure or pedicure colors for the bridal party. We also love a modern manicure with a pattern--think floral or stripe motif in soft neutral hues. Bridal manis are an easy way to personalize any look. Plus, it’s on trend!
It all comes down to what works best for you, your wedding style and your beautiful bridal party. Whatever you choose, we know it will be stunning!
Make sure to let us know how it turned out by tagging @JaneSummersFashion. We can’t wait to see it!
White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
