Shades of White

Monday Musings

We all want a dress that looks amazing front to back, so why not add a little spice to the back of your bridesmaids dress?  Added flare can be achieved a few different ways.  Open backs or low backs are elegant and sleek. Whereas the addition of an over-sized bow or cowl-neck adds three dimensional interest and is very on trend with this season.  A corset back gives a great personal fit as well as adding a fashionable, yet timeless touch.  Whether you choose a dress with a corset, bow or cowl, you are sure to be eye catching as you walk down the aisle.

Classic, Elegant and the equivalent of a man's suit, a charcoal bridesmaids dress is a perfect choice for any wedding.  Easy to pair with many colours, charcoal is versatile, yet not quite the commitment to black.

Depending on which fabric you choose, there are many hues of charcoal available.  Fabrics with a little shimmer will give a more silver appearance; whereas matte chiffon will give a softer look to the charcoal.  Charcoal is also a great way to make your bridal gown pop!  Here we have paired it with a stunning white bridal gown to show how the colour of your bridesmaids can make the colour of your dress stand out even more.  Since Charcoal can be paired with many other colours so easily, this makes finding Mother of the Bride and Mother of the Groom dresses much easier!  For the Mother of the Bride, we used the same fabric as the bridesmaids to let mom of the bride feel a part of her daughter's party.  Mother of the Groom is shown in a different fabrication but with a coordinating colour to make her feel special as well.

To brighten this look for summer, we suggest colours such as corals, peaches, light greens and white as accent colours.  The addition of these bright colours will give a summery feel to the party.  For Autumn colours, a deep purple and green is a great alternative!
