Bridal Style: Separates

When most people think of bridal gowns, they think of exactly that: a gown. However, the latest trend in bridal gowns may take you by surprise - ultra-trendy brides are now opting for separates when it comes to looking beautiful on their big day.

If the thought of bridal separates makes you cringe, we beg you to reconsider. There are some spectacular combinations of tops and bottoms that range from whimsical/bohemian to timeless/traditional.

Take a look at how other brides have been styling their separates seamlessly and you may just find yourself mixing and matching a corset and skirt.

Mix & Match Bridesmaid Dress Ideas You'll Love

 Want each bridesmaid to stand out in her own unique way but still portray a uniform look among your bridal party? Combining different variations of dresses will do just that! One way to do this is keeping the shade, length and fabric of the dress consistent but mixing it up with styles based on what flatters each bridesmaid & what they like best! Here are a few ideas to get you started but make sure to visit Miss Ruby -  a stylist can make going the mix and match route easy peasy.

  Accent Detailing

  

Each of these gowns share a similar "criss-cross" detail on the bodice, while maintaining the same shade, length and fabric of the dress. This is a beautiful way to create fluidity within the bridal party.
Featuring: Watters 1529,  Watters Mulberry, WTOO 985 

 

 Featured Necklines

 

Another cohesive way to showcase your bridesmaids individually is to select gowns with slightly varying necklines. Each of these dresses are considered "halters", however each they are all different in their own unique way!

Featuring: Alfred Sung D470, D494, D480

Ombre Pallet

 

Selecting complementary shades from the same color family can create a fun effect within the bridal party. This works best when the gown is the same style or very similar on each maid. The statement of this trend should focus on the contrast of coloring!

This flirty and fun dress is also in a new fabric by Alfred Sung, a Knit Chiffon. This means that it has the light-weight, soft feel of chiffon without being an "expected" bridesmaid dress fabric. The one shoulder style pairs perfectly with the patent leather bow belt, included with the dress.

Wedding Inspiration: Limeade

A new bridemaids dress in a brand new color is making a big impact in our store! After Six #6689 (pictured below) is sampled in a stunning shade of lux chiffon called "Limeade," and although it's difficult to see in the picture, the color is a soft shade of neon green.

Because it is so playful and unique, we can see this color becoming incredibly popular for upcoming summer weddings. This inspired us to make an Inspiration Board of color, perfect for brides who don't shy away when it comes to bright colors and bold statements.
