7 Bridesmaid Dress Trends + Accessories
February 21, 2017 Alex Hamilton

If you’re overwhelmed by all of the bridesmaid dress choices out there, we can’t blame you! Do you want everyone in the same color and different styles? Or maybe all of your ladies should be in the same style, but different colors. There are so many great options but how do you narrow it down? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Check out some of our favorite picks below!  Click on each image to learn more about each specific design and even make a purchase! Also, don’t forget to check out the United with Love Shop, complete with some of our fave bridesmaid gift ideas.

STRAPLESS

Special Order Alfred Sung Style D725Special Order After Six Bridesmaids Style 6695

Strapless is a classic bridesmaid’s dress style so we wanted to kick things off with it. We love these designs because they never seem to go out of style! Whether you choose long or short, chiffon, or silk, your maids are sure to look amazing!

SLEEVES & STRAPS

Want something a little different for your friends? We love these sleeve and strap options for bridesmaid dresses. These gowns can fit any type of affair; from boho and flowy to formal and classic, you can’t go wrong with a unique sleeve or strap!

SPARKLE & SHINE

  

Everyone loves a little sparkle! Let your ladies shine with some of these sequin and beaded gowns. Don’t worry, they won’t be able to outshine you on your wedding day! Choose from an on trend high neck or a more traditional strapless neckline. You can’t go wrong with either pick.

FUN NECKLINES

  

Off the shoulder, high necked, keyhole, the list goes on and on. A unique or fun neckline can really spice up a traditional bridesmaid dress. It allow your ladies to stand out while still remaining a bit uniform. These are great picks for bride’s who place their maids in the same color, but allow them to chose their own dress style.

SEPARATES

  

Mix and match fabrics or a crop top design? So trendy! We’re not ones to shy from a trend and so these are some of our faves! Confidence is key with these picks, and we know your gals have got that in spades!

COLOR BLOCK/TWO TONE

   

We are swooning over the idea of a color blocked bridesmaid dress. If you have two different colors in mind for your maids, consider having them both represented in their dresses. Add a fun belt or sash to dress them up a little or fit each girl’s personality!

PRINT

  

With fun and playful patterns and prints, we can’t get enough. These are jaw droppers so we’ll reserve these for the most confident of brides. But seriously, how awesome are they?! I mean just look at the middle design! Sequins, patterned, and a crop top? Amazing.

Next up we have bridesmaid’s accessories. We know you want your ladies looking fly throughout your wedding day! We have compiled some of our favorites below. Remember, click on the picture to see more info and purchase!

SASHES & BELTS

  

 We are obsessed with the idea of having your ladies sport some of these amazing sashes and belts. They just add a little glitz and glamour to any bridesmaid dress. We love BHLDN’s selection because they have rhinestones, pearls, silk, etc. in all sorts of sizes. Want a skinny one? Maybe something a little thicker? Or one that only has a little sparkle in the middle? They’ve got it all.

BAGS

   

Looking for the perfect gift for your gals on your wedding day? A bag is always appreciated! Whether it is a personalized tote with their name or “Bridesmaid” emblazoned on it, a beaded clutch for the reception, or a fun print makeup bag, you won’t disappoint with one of these useful items! And bridesmaids, your bride will love these items as well!

SHOES

  

Choosing a show for the wedding day can be difficult. Do you want a heel to look chic or a flat to boogie? Maybe both? You can’t go wrong with any of these choices. We are OBSESSED with the Badgley Mischka sparkle sandal on the right!

ROBES

There are so many robe options out there, and these are just a few of our favorites. Robes are great accessories for bridesmaid’s to have on the wedding day to get ready in. Often your ladies will want to get the makeup and hair done before they put on their dress and these are the perfect items to do so in. We love the different patterns and styles available!

EARRINGS

  

We all know you want your ladies to have a little sparkle on your wedding day. A good way to achieve this is through a good earring. Whether you choose studs or dangle earrings, we are totally on board with these three above!

NECKLACES

  

Along with earrings, necklaces are a great day-of present for your bridesmaids if you want them to be a little more uniform. Personalized necklaces, like the bar above, are a great way to make each BFF feel special and unique, but have them all look similar in photos!

We hope that all of these lovely bridesmaid options have helped you narrow some things down, or even make a choice! Don’t forget to click on each item to learn more and purchase from the online sites!
