Bridesmaid’s Trend: Print Dresses
In the vaults of many mothers’ drawers are old photos of print dresses. Wild floral patters and hot pink geometry look outdated. But Damask, Victorian and subtle floral prints are making a comeback. The bridesmaid dress movement of colored sashes signals that weddings are ready for a little flavor. So if you don’t want to opt for a waist sash, think about a print. But there are some rules to follow to avoid an inadvertent ’60s ’70s or ’80s theme.
- Make sure the base of the bridesmaid dress color is a soft white, ivory or beige. This way, the color in the print will pop, no matter how soft the color. A light turquoise on ivory or a chartreuse on beige looks modern.
- If you want a soft floral print pattern for your bridesmaid gown, choose a ’50′s silhouette, A-line or layered designs for print bridesmaid dress. Those styles show off a print well.
- Texture: bridesmaid dress prints look best on cotton, sateen and chiffon.
Mix it up – Two toned bridesmaid dresses really enhance the look of a bridal party. You can really make a mark with your wedding colors represented in one bridesmaid dress. This tea length dress is classy, simple and could be worn again. I know brides always say that to their bridesmaids, but this dress is a cute little cocktail dress that has many uses.
