Coordinating your wedding gown with bridesmaids dresses

Samara, on September 16, 2016 at 16:31 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 6

My wedding gown has a heavily beaded, sparkly bodice with a full tulle skirt. I am probably going to go with convertible bridesmaids dresses, but can choose the fabric, and have the option of adding chiffon, lace or tulle overlays.

What do you think are the best fabric choices / combinations that would complement my dress, and not clash with it? If my bridesmaids wanted to add accessories to their dresses, such as sparkly brooches, floral styling clips, or necklaces/collars (see here for an examples of convertible dress jewelery: https://www.henkaa.com/shop/jewelry/), what would be some good options?

Thanks!

    It's been a bit of a challenge, but having such great technology these days makes it possible! I actually didn't do anything too fancy. I texted them!

    My dress has a beaded bodice and a full raw silk skirt. My bridesmaids dresses are baby blue with some beading and a small train. We are having 6 bridesmaids and 1 maid of honour, we all went shopping together for bridesmaids dresses, but I had it narrowed down to three dresses

    Hi Samara Smiley heart

    That's a great idea! I really like when bridesmaids add their own touch to their dress. Some can be really creative just with using different accessories like this Smiley smile

    Will your bridesmaids dresses all be the same colour?

    It's amazing that you can live in different locations and still be able to coordinate everything Smiley smile I'm impressed! How did you propose to your bridesmaids?

    Oooo thanks for all the discussion links! And I'll probably create a discussion in the My Wedding Dress group.

    I have 4 bridesmaids. We live in 4 separate locations, so we can't really all go shopping together! I did go look at a few dresses with a couple of them though when I was visiting, so they could try on some different styles. That's partly why I'm going to order the convertible dresses custom made online.That way we can get something that suits everyone that shouldn't need alterations!

    Hi Samara Smiley heart

    Your dress looks gorgeous! I think your bridesmaids dresses could match your wedding dress with or without the tulle overlay. Maybe since your dress already has tulle, a simpler fabric would better complement your dress.

    It would help to have pictures to see how your dresses would look like together. Smiley smile You can create a discussion, that will be more private (only for brides) in the My Wedding Dress group, to show us your dress and bridemaids options. Can't wait to see it! Smiley love
