Wedding Fashion for the Bridesmaid 2011

Friday, January 14th, 2011

Wedding fashion for the bridesmaid 2011 is tending to let the bridesmaids choose some parts of the bridesmaids dresses themselves. Brides are finally realizing that bridesmaids come in different sizes and shapes and that one style dress is not the best choice for all of them. When you try to put all of the different bridesmaids in one style and shape dress the final effect is not always as pretty as you might wish. And you really won’t notice this until you look at the wedding pictures several months down the road. Besides wedding fashion for the bridesmaid 2011 is about reusing the dresses for other occasions. This just makes sense in this economy.

So what choices does the bride have in 2011? Well, one style that is popular in 2011 is to choose a basic color and then let the bridesmaids choose from the various shades of that color for one that flatters them the best. Also the maid of honor may have the darkest color and then other bridesmaids will have various shades of the single color. Also the bridesmaids then can choose different necklines, sleeves or cut for the one that flatters her best. Also the bridesmaids certainly can’t outshine the bride so when you go to accessorize the bridesmaids take care that they don’t clash with the bride. Especially if the bride has chosen a bridal dress that is not white or ivory or off white. And the bridesmaids should not be wearing the same color either.

Bridal Makeup – Summer 2009 Wedding Tips

Bridal makeup is one of those things that everyone has their own opinion on. When I got married, I had a black and white wedding and I was planning on going for the toned down smoky eyes look to complete the outfit. Imagine my shock and surprise when my makeup artist decided to try out the Grecian Goddess look with greens and gold?s rather than the black look that I had originally opted for!

The thing is, bridal makeup doesn?t always have to match the rest of the wedding theme and most modern weddings will have the bride wearing makeup that once upon a time would have been laughed out of the church.

Although I had no green or gold in my wedding, aside from the greenery in the flowers of course, the look was perfect for the dress and when I look back at my wedding photo?s, I realize that black, grey and generally smoky eye makeup would have been far too much for my already dramatic wedding.

If you are having a red and white wedding for example, do not go with red lips but rather toned down bridal makeup with dusky pinks and pretty beiges to tone down the look of the dramatic color scheme?

The same idea applies to other colors as well and a green wedding could be perfectly accentuated with bright gold bridal makeup and a pink or lilac wedding could have the black, grey and smoky eyes to inject a little life into the pastel colors.
