Gone are the days of stiff looking bridesmaids gowns and suits that your wedding party will really only wear once. (Thank goodness!) Nowadays, brides are less concerned with their maids ‘overshadowing’ them on their wedding day. Instead, they want them to look their best – and look great in all the wedding photos too! We love the new direction of gowns that bridesmaids actually WANT to wear! Whether the girls are picking their own dresses, or just having more say in the style and hue, there is much more freedom.
But the trends aren’t only for the girls! There are great options for groomsmen as well. Don’t be afraid of color and texture – we know the guys want to stand out too! We rounded up some of our favorite combinations, styles, and patterns that are pushing the limits (in the best of ways). These fashion forward looks for the wedding party will continue to gain popularity – because they look that good.
