2020 Bridesmaid Dress Trends
Just like wedding menus, venue styles, and cake choices, bridesmaid dresses have trends that come and go. Here are six styles that are hitting the stage when it comes to 2020 bridesmaid fashion trends. Now let’s get shopping!
- Wrap Waist
The wrap dress is a comfortable dress that can easily transform from a day to night look and has been around for years, but recently it has taken the bridal world by storm. The higher waistline is flattering on all body types and can be worn again and again. Your bridesmaids will look put together in this comfortable, laidback style.
- Halter Necklines
A traditional halter neckline is ideal for creating a regal formal look, especially for a black-tie wedding. The high neckline accompanied by bare arms with a floor-length gown is a beautiful way to make one look taller, sleek, and formal. Pair it with an up-do or sleek straight hair to let the dress shine.
- Flutter Sleeves
The delicate flutter sleeve is a great way to help your bridesmaids feel comfortable while looking dreamy and romantic. It’s the perfect middle ground for your girls who would rather not be bare-armed while also being light and free for those who would rather be sleeveless. They can be worn in any season and not just for weddings!
- Patterns, Prints, Embroidery & Embellishments
Floral prints and patterns are extremely trendy right now. The prints can be bright and vibrant or subtle and simple. Mix and match for clashing prints to let your girls stand out in a unique way, or dress them in contrasting colors in the same pattern. Add some sequins or embroidery to take this fun, floral trend to the next level!
- Velvet & Lace
Luxurious velvet and delicate lace fabrics are taking the bridal scene by storm! Velvet is a beautiful way to make a bridesmaid look regal without breaking the bank. And the velvet dress will also be re-wearable! Lace is a fabric that will always dominate the wedding world, but it doesn’t have to be limited to the bride and decorations. Pair delicate lace with a flowy tulle skirt for a dreamy, romantic look that will stand the test of time!
- Mix & Match
Mixing and matching bridesmaids dresses isn’t just limited to the color palette and style! Mix velvet, chiffon, tulle, and satin to get a beautiful look in a range of hues and styles. Throw in a few prints or sequins! Mixing textures is a beautiful way to make sure that your girls are wearing something that works for their bodies, because, as we all know, being body positive is the new trend!
No matter what you decide to go with, you will want everything to be perfect from your wedding programs to your dresses so always keep in mind that not every dress style, color, and fabric is flattering on every body type and skin tone. For the best experience for both you and your bridesmaids, give them a range of styles, fabrics, and colors to choose from and let them find one that makes them comfortable. After all, you don’t want them to be fidgeting with their dresses all night and unhappy! Happy, beautiful bridesmaids will ensure that your wedding night will be full of love and dancing!
