The Best Styles for Your Bridal Party Attire

From selecting your dream venue and filling it with the perfect decor to coordinating the best wedding blooms and hiring your favorite caterer and photographer, there is so much to do to prepare for your big day. While wedding planning comes with a long to-do list, working with your wedding party to find the perfect attire can be challenging. With carefully chosen colors and textures of the ensembles, this seemingly small detail can play a large role in establishing and complementing the entire look and feel of your special day. To help you decide which trend is best to follow, your friends here at Marco Island Weddings are sharing four avenues you can take for wedding party fashion.

Perfectly Matched Attire

Perhaps the first idea that comes to mind when beginning to think of dressing and styling your wedding party is choosing one uniform look for everyone to adhere to. Many couples select one dress, tuxedo, suit, tie, pair of shoes, and other accessories so everyone matches perfectly. This creates a clean, polished, and harmonious look that is simply beautiful. With minimal distracting fashion elements, everyone’s smiles and joy are sure to radiate throughout the day.

Coordinating Colors

Pleasing everyone with one designated outfit is sometimes an impossible task. While you work with a wide variety of tastes and preferences that make each individual in your wedding party feel confident and comfortable, sometimes it is best to hand over the reins. Many couples provide a color swatch or specific material for the party’s attire but give everyone the liberty of shopping for what makes them look and feel their best. Since each member of the wedding party will be wearing the same color, the cohesive and uniform look remains, but with a slight twist that produces an eye-catching design.

Coordinating Styles

Another alternative to keeping a consistent style within your wedding party is selecting one dress, suit, and tie but giving individuals a few color options to choose from. This allows you to have a little more freedom when picking out your wedding color palette, especially if you are torn between two or three primary wedding colors. While everyone is still wearing the same thing, the various hues establish a whole new look and brighten up your day with colorful variety.

Unique Mismatched Look

This quirky trend is becoming more and more popular as it invites everyone to express themselves through fashion. Allow your best friends and trusted family members to find what fits them the best, but be sure to give them some guidelines to establish consistency through the eclectic styles. From varying colors from your wedding color palette to coordinating materials, hem lengths, and necklines, each unique ensemble will reflect the individuality and personalities of your favorite people.

As you coordinate and refine the details of your wedding party’s attire, you are sure to hear opinions, ideas, and desires to take into consideration. While making the best decisions that fit your own dreams and preferences comes first, listening to what makes your wedding party feel confident as they stand by your side is important and will not go unnoticed or unappreciated. After the details of everyone’s wedding wardrobe are solidified, the next thing to do is coordinate with your florist on bouquets and boutonnieres that are sure to perfect and finesse each ensemble. As this time approaches, your friends here at Marco Island Weddings will be excited and ready to work with you.
