Gorgeous Winter Bridesmaid Dresses

By John Jones


Do your friends really need one more expensive teal or neon pink bridesmaid dress crammed into the back of their closets? If you really want to make your bridesmaids love you, consider choosing dresses in a neutral tone that will be more versatile after your wedding. Don't worry that "neutral" means boring - you can style bridesmaid dresses in understated hues in unique ways to give them a fabulous look for your wedding day.

Rich fabrics like satin are ideal for the winter months. Satin has a wonderful weight, is luxurious, and is very festive - what more could one hope for in a winter bridesmaid dress? Deep colors such as aubergine (eggplant purple) are fabulous for the colder months, and purple happens to be a very popular bridesmaid dress color in general right now. A simple column dress in eggplant satin would be quite elegant for a formal winter wedding. Forgo the matching shoes and opt for neutral black or silver satin shoes to coordinate. Crystal bridesmaid jewelry with accents in deep purple will be the perfect finishing detail.

While deep colors are always beautiful for winter, there is also something very special about light colors, as long as the fabric used is appropriate for the time of year. A sophisticated pewter color is a fantastic choice for a winter wedding in the afternoon or the evening. For a daytime wedding, opt for a knee length bridesmaid dress in a pewter silk charmeuse with a slight bubble hem.

Crystal stiletto earrings would be a great choice for bridesmaid jewelry with this Mermaid Wedding Dresses style. Add a black velvet ribbon at the waistline of the gown and black velvet flats for shoes. If the wedding is in the evening or is a more formal afternoon ceremony, full length pewter silk satin bridesmaid dresses in a chic one shoulder style would be amazing. Deep red flowers in the bridesmaid bouquets will contrast marvelously with the lighter pewter color of the dresses.

Champagne is another timeless neutral for bridesmaid dresses. Play up the richness of the color with deep chocolate accents. Start with a simple champagne satin dress with a column silhouette and use it as the base to create something really spectacular. For a winter wedding, how about adding a brown fur stole tied with a wide satin bow to each gown? Layer on custom sets of bridesmaid jewelry in bronze colored crystals, and chocolate velvet evening shoes for a truly spectacular style.
