The struggling economy these last few years has shaped the trends in the look and style of a bridesmaid dress. Even though the economy is looking up, some of those trends from the previous seasons are going to evolve into what the bridesmaid dresses will look like this spring!
The knee-length bridesmaid dress has been one of the biggest trends recently. A lot of brides are still choosing to put their bridesmaids in floor length gowns, but the shorter gowns have definitely increased in popularity. Cocktail dresses and knee-length dresses can be worn again after the wedding, so this makes them a great option for brides who want their bridesmaids to be able to reuse their dresses. There is no guarantee that every bridesmaid will reuse their bridesmaid dress but brides who do give them the option are doing their bridesmaids a big favor.
Most of the bridesmaid dresses we will see in 2011 will be strapless. The strapless dress is another huge and rising trend in bridesmaid dresses and has been a long time trend we have seen for bridal gowns. The strapless style flatters the neck and shoulders, resulting in a very feminine and classic look. A strapless dress has to be properly fitted to it's owner, and quality strapless bra must be used in order to enjoy the maximum flattery for the figure that this style provides.
A more edgy trend that has rapidly grown in popularity lately is the one-shoulder look. Bridesmaid dresses that hang off of one shoulder provide a unique shape and gives the bridal party a fashion forward, bold look. The single strap is a sassy and urban look that can also be feminine and delicate.
Feminine touches like lace, floral, bead, and sequin embellishment are back in a big way, as are soft chiffons. Many bridesmaid dresses for Spring 2011 are somewhat more body conscious than in recent years, using sashes, bows, and ruching in order to emphasize the natural waist for a classic and feminine look.
The colors we are going to see in 2011 will be bright, like fuchsia, apple green, amethyst, yellow, and orange. Classic colors will also be making an appearance as well, colors like gray, navy, and chocolate brown.
The bridal party that is not uniformed or identical is another returning trend this season. Instead of each bridesmaid matching exactly with each other brides are letting them choose from a few styles and/or a color palette. This allows each bridesmaid to show a little more of their personality and will result in a higher chance the bridesmaid will love and reuse the dress.
The biggest trend of all in 2011 is for brides to help their bridesmaids enjoy their cut, style, and color of the dress a little more then in years past. Choosing beautiful, wearable, and reusable dresses for the bridal party will give them the opportunity to own a dress they will love forever.
