Wedding s should be a memorable day for both bride and groom. Among many other things that make the day special, bridal party is one of the most important part of the wedding. The bridal party will feature in the photographs and every single memory of the wedding. Here are some ideas how to make the bridal attire to be timeless.
Pick a timeless colour
Fashion is something that comes and goes so does the various colours that come with it. However there are some colours that are timeless. Even after 20 years of the wedding your wedding album will still look up to date if you pick these colours. Beige is a very calm and neutral colour to choose for the bridal party if the wedding dress is white. Ivory is a nice cool colour for bridesmaids and the flower girls of any age. Childrens ivory flower girl dresses are a popular choice of many brides. Colours like dark green, orange, and bright yellow, hot pink are okay, but along the line these colors fade away and after sometime you will regret using those colours.
Style of the dresses
Style along with the colour is very important. There are some timeless fashion picks for bridesmaids. Simple tube dresses, or a simple long spaghetti strap dress, or simple backless dress would be a nice choice for bridesmaids. For the flower girls there are many styles of childrens ivory flower girl dresses. They can be normal sleeveless dresses, or a tube dress or strappy dress. A halter dress is also a good choice, but depends on how comfortable everyone would be wearing that.
Shoes
Shoes are the next most crucial item to chose. If you have enough budget you can get a nice design custom made from the dress material itself. You can do a ballerina shoe or a flat slipper style or heels. It is better if you chose flat shoes since the bridal party has to wear these the whole day and the comfort comes first. Especially the little flower girls can be very grumpy if the shoes are not comfortable.
Makeup and hair
Makeup and the hair style should be very simple and timeless. Using black eye shadow or lady gaga style makeup and hair styles to go with the current Hollywood trends will only make the day a joke. Simplicity is gold and selects a natural make up with light colored lipstick and eye shadow. Hair styles can be simple up dos or if the bride’s maids and the flower girls have shorter hair simply have it loose.
Bridal party includes grooms men as well. Make sure whatever the colour you chose they are okay to match that as well. If you pick girly colours like pink they might not like wearing pink shirts. Hence neutral colours would always work.
