Floor-Length Dresses
Gone are the days when it was a must for your wedding party to wear long dresses for the big day. In fact, even if you're hosting a formal affair, your bridesmaids don't need to don floor-length gowns. This year, we'll see them in shorter, but still chic, designs.
Identical Dresses
This is a trend that has been out for awhile. Brides are ditching identical dresses and allowing their bridesmaids to pick their own silhouettes so that they look and feel their best on the big day. The result could be ensembles that your wedding party will actually wear after the wedding day!
Matching Colors
Ditch the matching colors and have your bridesmaids wear dresses in cooordinating shades. You will still have cohesion for your wedding photos without everything being so matchy-matchy.
Buying Dresses
Brides are no longer forcing their bridesmaids to buy dresses they will (most likely) never wear again. In lieu of shelling out loads of cash on a gown, bridesmaids can rent their frocks from sites like Rent the Runway. It will save your wedding party a ton—and they'll love you for it!
