Bridesmaids Gown Trends 2017

06.12.17

Long gone are the days of the single-wear bridesmaid dress that you dreaded to buy, yet alone wear. Today, brides are allowing their #bridetribe to choose the dresses that best suit them or even choosing a unique style or separates that can be restyled for an every day outfit! Can we get an AMEN! We are thrilled to bring you the top trending bridesmaid styles and some gorgeous StarDust styles to represent.

Separates

Separates have become all the rage in both ready to wear and on your best friend’s special day. Whether it is a lace top paired with a chiffon skirt or a sequin bodice and silk taffeta skirt, the options can all be worn again. Pair your lace top with a pair of jeans for a happy hour, mix up the sequin bodice with a pair of black skinnies for a night out or even throw on a jean jacket or blazer and wear to work! We are loving the versatility of this new style and the re-wear/re-style opportunities that come with it!

Ready to Wear Gowns

We love when a bride wants her #squad to look just as glamourous on her wedding day! From fully beaded or sequined styles to chic, avant-garde gowns, brides are opting for a group of lavish ladies to stand at the alter in fashion-forward frocks.

Simple

Simplicity is key when it comes to the latest bridesmaid style. Chic, clean lines with limited detail are the perfect pairing with ANY style of wedding. This simplistic trend compliments all wedding gowns and wedding themes and will never take away from the bride on her special day!

High Necklines

We love this modest, yet fashionable, trend that works for all body types! With a high neckline, there is no need to worry about bust size, bust spillage on the dance floor or eye-catching cleavage in your formal pictures. This trend comes in many different styles and fabrications – halter neckline, bateau neckline, criss-cross neckline, lace neckline, illusion neckline, queen-anne collar, you name it and we do not think you can go wrong with any of these options!

Pastels

Subtle hues of ivory, blush, lavender, soft blue, champagne, mint green, etc. are continuing to work their way into the go-to bridesmaid gown choices of color. Whether the bride opts to have her leading ladies wear various shades of one color tone or chooses to go with one shade for all, the soft tonality seems to still be the reigning choice and one that compliments the bride effortlessly!

Bridal Trends Straight Off the Runway

Embellishment:

Pearls, crystals, beading, oh my! Designers are encrusting bodices, lace or even an entire gown from head to toe to make sure a bride shines in a whole new way on her special day. Sparkle your way to the altar in a few of these favorite frocks!

Plunging Necklines:

Dare to be different or even a little risque on your day! Dramatic, deep necklines are all the rage on the bridal runway with sheer illusion plunging to the naval. Some designers are providing a little bit of modesty with lace applique or embellishment and some seem to be encouraging the “bare all” approach.

Sleeves:

Whether you are channeling your inner retro vibe with a trendy bell sleeve, attempting for a little more coverage with a fitted 3/4 sleeve or want to embody all that is Jackie O classic beauty, the bridal gods did not disappoint. We are so in love with this trend that we can’t decide which is our favorite!

Unique Backs:

Open backs, low backs, strappy backs, illusion and lace backs, jewel-encrusted backs…designers are finding every which way to provide the most amount of interest as you stand at the altar. The dramatic back craze is a trend that has surfaced the last few seasons and is developing into a fashion staple we do not see turning to a fad any time soon!

Feathers and Tiers:

From one end of the spectrum to the other, we are seeing the re-emergence of feathered frocks for the trend-setting bride and the fun and flirty, tiered skirt for the fashion-forward. Designers have adorned gowns with threaded plumes to add dimension and fluff to a skirt and are adding billowing layers of sumptuous fabrications to create tiers from waist to finish. Either way, you cannot go wrong donning these new trends!

High Neckline:

Opposite the plunging neckline, Queen Anne collars, halters and high neck chokers are the newest fashion for your bridal style. Sometimes accompanied by a bridal cape or a flutter sleeve, this new style captures the essence of modern chic and vintage, all-in-one!

Dimensional Florals and Lace:

Gone are the days of the quintessential corded, two dimensional lace. While we do still love this classic look, designers are utilizing various fabrications to embellish and enhance lace to new levels and heights – literally! Whether using an architectural or modern patterned lace or utilizing a classic Alencon, designers are garnishing these fabrications to provide top-notch, unprecedented texture!
