When you ask any single 30 something year old women to be in a wedding she will say “always the bridesmaid and never the bride”. Nowadays women love to be asked to stand in as a bridesmaid at a wedding because the dresses have never been more stylish and sophisticated - and this year is no exception. (some people have been known to hit the bridal salons just to purchase the dress off the rack because they are so chic this year).
Here are some of the 2010 bridesmaid dress tends for this wedding season:
Neckline
Designers are now saying good-bye to the strapless bridesmaid dresses and introducing more diverse necklines to their collections. One of the biggest trends this year has to be the classic bateau neckline.
Gray
Gray is the new brown / black this year. It will complement most skin tones and shades of gray will always look good no matter what the season is! Gray bridesmaids dresses are a wonderful choice because the color is timeless. Plus the look is very much the same as the typical little black dress.
Two-toned Colors
Two-toned dresses are very hot this wedding season, along with separates. Having two separate pieces allows all bridesmaids to feel comfortable on the wedding day no matter what size they are. Separates will compliment all body types and so will two toned colors.
Sleeves
Bridesmaids dresses always come in sleeveless styles, but now you may want to consider some really cool sleeves for the girls dresses especially for the ladies who like to cover up a bit more on the wedding day.
Off White and Ivory Shades
Designers these days are including shades of soft vanilla, pale beige and even faint khaki colors for bridesmaid’s dresses. When selecting a shade like this make sure you purchase it from the same store as the brides wedding dress. You don’t want the shade to be too close to the brides dress and you don’t want to blend in.
