Hot Weather Bridesmaid Dresses

By John Jones


Summer is high season for weddings, and also the prime time for high temperatures and high humidity. The last thing anyone wants is for their bridesmaids to end up sodden and sulky! Help keep your attendants cool and relaxed with one of these hot weather bridesmaid dresses.

1. The color of the bridesmaid dresses should be in keeping with the color theme of the wedding.Have you ever seen the movie 27 cheap prom dresses? It completely overturns the traditional idea that bridesmaid dresses are only acceptable in pink. The heroine, a hard core bridesmaid, attends 27 weddings in the movie and shocks the audience with her stunning beauty every time. Her experience tells us that bridesmaid dresses need not only be limited to being 'cute' or a certain color; as long as their style matches the theme of the wedding, they can still create stunning bridesmaids. There is a wide range of colors for bridesmaid dresses. For example, in a lavender themed wedding, light purple is a good choice; whereas in a white themed wedding, light green could bring freshness. A blue themed wedding would really work well with light blue, but the main thing is to sit down in advance with some color swatches (you can pick them up for free from the paint section of your local hardware store if you're on a budget) and choose colors which match well and please your eye.

Accessorizing the dress in a smart way gives the cheap prom dresses a second life. Should you wore matching jewellery along with a matching pair of heels for the wedding, don't repeat it once more as it truly is the standard look for the member of the bridal party. Rather don't put on anything with the dress that shows off a wedding look. As an example lets us take the purple bridesmaid dresses. If the dress is in chiffon it is possible to go for a pair of strappy silk kitten heel shoes and some funky however matching jewellery.

Cotton is one of the most comfortable fabrics for summer. While we tend to think of it as a very casual material, it can actually be made into some very chic styles which are highly appropriate for a wedding. A strapless polished cotton dress is a fantastic choice for a warm weather bridesmaid dress. It has a subtle sheen that makes it feel more dressy and a crisp hand that holds up well to humidity. This classic fabric looks wonderful in almost any hue, from deep navy to bright aqua to pale pink. If you select a fairly simple silhouette, your bridesmaids can have fun personalizing their outfits with unique sashes, different bridesmaid jewelry sets, and of course fabulous shoes.

Linen gets a bad rep as a wrinkly fabric. There is some truth to the rumply nature of the material, of course, but it is a classic in tropical regions. This is because high humidity actually helps to keep linen dresses looking less wrinkly - almost like nature's version of the clothing steamer. Linen shift dresses could be quite nice for a sophisticated group of attendants who would not be happy in more frilly or young looking styles. Another idea is a flowy linen dress which is sort of pre-wrinkled; no ironing required. While a linen bridesmaid dress is not right for the bride with a perfectionist streak, they can be very pretty and summery.
