Dressing for the Season

Choosing bridesmaids’ dresses can be quite a challenge. With winter coming to an end and spring right around the corner, here are some tips to help you keep your bridal party looking and feeling season-appropriate!

Winter: Don’t make your bridesmaids suffer through a frigid night in a tea-length strapless cocktail dress! Try floor length dresses, adding a shawl, or heavier fabrics. Here are some popular winter wedding fabrics that will keep your loved ones feeling warm and comfortable when the temperature is low: Dupioni, Cashmere, Polyester, Faux Fur, Velvet, Velour, Brocade. Also, wearing hot pink on a dull winter night can look out of place. Popular winter colors include colors such as ivory, red, navy, orange, black and gold tones.

Spring: Even worse than having freezing cold bridesmaids is having sweaty hot bridesmaids. You should plan their attire accordingly so that they may feel comfortable and stay cool (especially in outdoor spring weddings!) Here are some lightweight fabrics for spring: Chiffon, Silk, Organza, Linen, Charmeuse, Crepe, Shantung. Spring is the perfect time to pick bright, fun colors. In an informal setting even some simple patterns can work and look super cute!
