Bridesmaid Jewelry Gold

Chic bridesmaid style is about considering all aspects of how your bridesmaids will look on the big day. So here are some unique suggestions to consider when deciding upon your bridesmaids' gowns, hair and jewelry.

Bridesmaid Dresses

  • For an evening wedding, particularly fall or winter, try bridesmaid dresses in metallic colors such as a soft gold, silver or bronze or jewel-toned colors such as emerald, ruby or sapphire. Match each dress with jewelry of the same type, such as a choker and earrings, or even small matching jewels in their hair.
  • For a dramatic effect, choose bridesmaid dresses that have a two-foot train. This would look sensational when walking down the aisle, but make sure the train can be pinned up for the reception.
  • Have bridesmaid dresses be replicas of famous gowns worn by actresses to the Academy Awards. For inspiration, go to showbiz.sky.com where they show their opinion of the best Oscar gowns of all time.

Bridesmaid Jewelry & Accessories

  • Great fashion jewelry can add some impact to a simple dress, like the Blu Bijoux Crystal Bib Necklace from Maxandchloe.com. Also, many rows of pearl chokers or a few waist length strings of pearls hanging down the front and back of the dress will create a dramatic look.
  • For a winter wedding, coordinate a matching cape with the bridesmaid’ dresses like a satin cape lined in faux fur, and for a summer wedding, have the bridesmaids carry matching parasols.Rice paper ones come in a variety of colors and are ideal for a beach wedding.
  • Consider various fashion accessories to add impact to the dress. For example, have all of the bridesmaids wear an oversized hat, like the one in the movie Titanic and the hats women traditionally wear to the Kentucky Derby. See some of the styles at Nyfashionhat.com.

Bridesmaid Hair Style and Makeup

  • Consider upscale headbands, either a jeweled velvet band or a sophisticated silk bow or even tiaras for the bridesmaids.
  • A trendy hairstyle for the bridesmaids would be a high wrapped ponytail. Some girls may need to wear a hairpiece to achieve this look. Alternatively, a low side ponytail is also elegant if hair is long enough.

All of these ideas will inspire brides to put as much time and thought into their bridesmaids' style, dresses and look as they do with their own.
