There are hundreds of decisions to be made when planning a wedding, but one of the most stressful decisions for any bride is choosing bridesmaid dresses. From finding a style that will flatter everyone in your bridal party, to picking a fabric that won’t completely blow your budget, there’s a lot to consider. That’s before we even start on attempting to answer the all-important question of what colour dresses you want your girls to wear.
Here at GLAMOUR, we like to make your life a little easier. And we’re pretty certain we’ve found a solution. Champagne bridesmaid dresses will compliment your wedding theme, suit the skin tones of every bridal party member and look timeless in your wedding photographs – even in 50 years’ time. Sure, black bridesmaid dresses are endlessly elegant, but they don’t work as well for summer weddings. Pastel bridesmaid dresses do, but not everyone will feel happy parading round in pink all day. And floral bridesmaid dresses might be a little too “out there” for the vibe you have in mind. But shades of Champagne go with everything.
Think about it: a glass of bubbly tastes just as good from paper cups at a picnic in the park as it does from a glass flute at a five star restaurant, and champagne dresses work much in the same way. No matter what time of the year you’re planning on tying the knot, or where your wedding ceremony and reception will take place, bridesmaid dresses in a champagne or nude hue add a touch of romanticism and keep things chic and sophisticated. Plus, they’re a great alternative if you love the look of white bridesmaid dresses but want to be the only one wearing ivory on your special day.
With undertones of blush, cream, and gold, the colour-way is guaranteed to suit every skin tone, so will look great on all your bridesmaids. And as it’s such a timeless and versatile colour, your bridesmaids will be able to rewear their dresses for future occasions – not always easy if you pick something like sage green.
With champagne bridesmaid dresses in satin, tulle, and even metallic lurex, as well as floor sweeping numbers and short dresses falling to just above the knee there’s plenty of choice within this colour palette. You could also consider oyster and pink champagne shades too, and for the bride who wants an added bit of glamour to her big day, champagne bridesmaid dresses lend themselves perfectly to sequins so it’s easy to incorporate a bit of shimmer into the design, too.
