{Trend Alert} Bridesmaid Dresses (Color, Style, Fabric & Length!)

The summer heat is upon us, but the new year will be here before we know it. The time has come to share the most popular bridesmaid trends of 2013! This year a few particular trends in color, length, style, and fabric have stood out.

{Color}
Matte colors in pretty pastels, soft and subtle vintage hues, and “valentine” shades compose this year’s popular palette. From pink and pale blue to gray and cream the possibilities are endless. The trend focuses on understated shades of your favorite color, accented by florals with powerful pops of color.

{Fabric}

Bridesmaids love the light and airy feel of chiffon, which is why it is the most popular bridesmaids’ fabric of the year! Chiffon can be dressed up for a ballroom reception or dressed down for a beach affair.

{Style}
This year brides are giving their girls the freedom to make their own style decisions. Most commonly, brides are choosing a solitary color and allowing bridesmaids to choose their favorite dress style. It is also common for bridesmaids to choose their gown based on a palette of complimentary colors chosen by the bride.

{Length}

Last but not least, the most popular gown silhouette of the year is… long! The combination of chiffon and long silhouettes is flawless. Chiffon is a versatile fabric- it can be formal or informal depending on intended vision of the happy couple. Although, long gowns are currently on trend, short dresses remain the perfect option for fun, outdoor weddings!
