Wedding Fashion: Who Said Bridesmaid Dresses Can't Be Stylish?

It's wedding season, and if you're anything like me, you'll have dozens of weddings to attend. While many will just be a stylish attendee, some of us have been given the one title we dread our whole single gal lives: bridesmaid. Now there was a point of time in fashion when bridesmaid dresses were obnoxious, painful to wear, and a blended massacre of hideous hues and designer faux pas, but in today's fashion, bridesmaids are only a few stitches away from being just as fabulous as brides. Of course that's good news for all you single gals who aren't willing to become victims to the fashion police for the sake of a wedding you'd skip all together if you weren't best gal pals with the bride.

Here's some of my favorite and most gorgeous bridesmaid dresses.

Adrianna Papell Strapless Taffeta Peplum Dress

 I just adore this bridesmaid dress because it just exudes classic style and elegance. However, this particular style is similar to cocktail dresses, and allows bridesmaid to not only participate in the actual wedding, but be stylish enough for the social festivities later, without compromising fabulousness. The beautiful shade of blue give this dress the overall perfect touch that any fashionista can appreciate.

Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Pleated Dupioni Party Dress

  Classic and simple, this pleated bridesmaid dress also affords the stylish bridesmaid the perfect combination of wedding elegance and party. Not too heavy on the trendy side, the pleated skirt dress is still noteworthy on the style meter, since it's stylish enough for a fashionable bridesmaid, but not too glamorous to overtake the bride. 

Calvin Klein Pleated Bodice Stretch Satin Sheath Dress

By far, the sexiest of my collection of favorite bridesmaid dresses, this Calvin Klein guilty pleasure offers the seductive side of femininity in dress form. Flirty yet special occasion appropriate, it's another dress that's stylish enough to survive the after wedding events. The deep shade of purple is to die for, and it's one bridesmaid dress that you surely won't regret later.

Adrianna Papell Dress, One Shoulder Tulip Gown

Similar to the ultra diverse in style Maxi dress, this one shoulder gown is proof that long dresses can be just as stylish and chic as shorter length dresses. This gown is as close as wedding will get to runway, and should compliment just about any figure, which makes it one of the most diverse bridesmaid dresses I've seen this season.

 

When selecting bridesmaid dresses, always stick to gowns that are prone to compliment just about any figure type. It's also best to select dresses that are radiant in color, but compliment the bride's gown, without forsaking great style.
