The Bridesmaid Attire for a Wedding in the Cooler Months
The bridesmaid dress is something that is a dreaded right of passage for a younger sister or best friend. Girls
have been put into garish taffeta and tulle creations with giant bows on the back and layers upon layers of
ruffles. This tradition of forcing your friends and family to wear the ugliest dress you can find does not have to
continue. When planning the bridesmaid attire for a wedding in the cooler months there are several great options
that will make even the pickiest bridesmaid happy.
Weddings in the cooler months allow for many color options for bridesmaid attire. Your maids could wear dark green,
brown, rusty red, purple, dark blue or orange in the fall months. During the holiday season bridesmaids could be
dressed in red, green, blue, silver, black, maroon or gold. Around the end of winter in the months of February or
March you could consider playing with red, pink, green, champagne, grey or mauve.
Once you have decided on a color for your maids you may want to let the girls get their own dresses. Allowing
bridesmaids to pick out their own dresses gives them the freedom to make sure the dress will be flattering on their
figure. Bridesmaids may actually find a dress that they would like to wear again. Give the girls some guidelines
such as length, fabric, sleeves or not and formality so that they all have a similar theme to the dress. Your girls
will be very pleased that you have decided to let them be beautiful on your day. Do not worry, no matter how
stunning your maid of honor looks in her dress all eyes will still be on you.
If you want to go the more traditional route and dress all of your girls in the same dress then you still have fun
options for bridesmaid attire for a wedding in the cooler months. Think of your girls in the way that they were
meant to be in the olden days. Bridesmaids accompanied the bride to confuse the evil fairies so they could not
steel away the bride. Fairies liked beautiful girls and that is why they were in search of brides. Let all your
girls be as beautiful as you. When you are shopping for bridesmaid attire for a wedding in the cooler months take
as many of the girls along with you as you can. Make a day out of it and stop at many stores before you decide on a
look.
When you are considering a dress for your bridesmaids you could pick one style or you should pick something with a
bit of variation. For example you could get a dress that has the option of sleeves or no sleeves, straps or no
straps, halter top or boat neck. Think of your girls not as statues placed beside you to make you look good, but
instead as a walking floral arrangement meant to compliment the beauty of the day. No matter what bridesmaids wear
they will always look good if they are smiling instead of frowning.
Bridesmaid attire for a wedding in the cooler months should also be flexible. Remember that in the church and on
the way to and from the events of the day the girls may get cold, yet in the reception hall the girls may be warm
dancing the night away. Fun attire for bridesmaids in the cooler months is a dress with matching shawls and
removable sleeves. The time of poufy sleeved, hot pink, ruffled, big bowed dresses is over. Give your girls some
respect and help them feel as lovely as you will on your big day.
