New Bridesmaid Trends for 2018

There are definitely trends that take the wedding world by storm - especially when it comes to wedding colors. There are no "right" or "wrong" colors when it comes to your wedding. However, if you are looking to have a bridal party that is totally fresh in design, check out these twists on popular palettes. 

These new takes on popular colors will give your wedding a fashionable and very 2018 feel. 

Instead of Blush, Try 

Mauve

Why It Works: 

Blush is a gorgeous pick, but it can read very whimsical. Pick the wrong shade of blush and you end up with your bridesmaids all in bubblegum pink. Mauve is a rich shade that combines elegantly with rich greens and natural greenery, which is perfectly on trend for 2018. 

Pairs Well With: 

- Navy Suits

- Marsala & Emerald Accents

- Greenery

Our Pick: 

Morganite

Instead of Navy, Try

Dusty Blue

Why It Works: 

Navy is a classic wedding color, but too much navy can be too dark and heavy-handed. Plus, it can give off a nautical-vibe if not done correctly. A Dusty Blue is a modern twist on this color. It's easy to wear and perfect for a lux Fall wedding. 

Pairs Well With: 

- Charcoal Suits

- Gold & Ivory Accents

- Vintage Glassware

Our Pick: 

Larkspur 

A soft, dusty blue from Dessy Bridesmaids

Instead of Champagne, Try

Taupe

Why It Works: 

Champagne is one of the hardest colors for bridesmaids to wear. If the bride picks an unflattering undertone, at least one of her bridesmaids is going to look washed out. Taupe is a deeper take on a neutral tone that flatters more skin-tones and looks perfectly on trend. 

Pairs Well With: 

- Tweed Suits

- Shimmering Gold Accents

- Fall Decor & Autumn Tablescapes

Our Pick: 

Mocha 

a rich, breezy taupe from Wtoo

Instead of Pastel Prints, Try

Dark Florals

Why It Works: 

Mix & Match bridesmaids are still on trend, but picking different shades of the same color is the easy way out. The newest trend is combining rich floral prints with a few solids to create a Mix & Match look that no one has seen before!

Pairs Well With: 

- Black Suits 

- Bright Florals

- An Overcast Sky

Our Pick: 

Mixed Textures

Bridal Gown of the Week: Love Marley Katy

Love Marley is one of our favorite collections in store. Their gowns are perfect for those dreamy & romantic venues like gardens, beaches, and rustic barns.  The Katy Gown from Love Marley is no exception! We are so in love with this gown & know you will be too once you try it on!

 Soft, flowy fabrics are harder to find in fitted silhouettes which makes us love this dress even more. If you are looking for something fitted and sexy for your outdoor or destination wedding, that offers a softer & lighter weight feel, this is a great choice.

Not only do we love the flattering fit of this gown - we are obsessed with it's lace corset bodice.

This bodice is flattering on all shapes & sizes but is an exceptionally great fit for those with a smaller bust. 

The cathedral train, featuring a combination of lace & georgette, is so romantic and makes for such a beautiful entrance when walking down the aisle.

The Love Marley Esmeralda bridal gown is perfect for a bride with her own personal style! 

There are so many unique ways to wear this versatile dress! 

The entire Love Marley collection by Watters offers a boho-chic feel and this gown is no exception! Esmeralda is an a-line gown with a shirred bodice. The fabric, a silk mousseline chiffon, has such a romantic feel to it and is super soft, lightweight and comfortable!

This dress features a strapless, sweetheart neckline with convertible ties which offer alternative necklines. There are so many different ways to change up this look and really make it your own! 

This bodice offers some beautiful shirred details while not over complicating the gown. It is the perfect backdrop for the convertible ties which allow our brides to personalize this gown in a way that speaks to their individual style!

The train on Esmeralda is so enchanting! The flowing fabric combined with the chapel train offer an elegant touch to this boho-chic inspired gown!

Esmeralda is offered in both ivory and athena. Both colors are so beautiful and will compliment any skin tone. Also, the variety of different necklines that can be created will accentuate any body type!
