Spring Wedding Trend: Pastel Bridesmaids' Dresses

Springtime weddings are the best time to indulge in one of the prettiest color palettes out there—pastels! There’s just something totally alluring and sweet about these soft hues when done throughout your wedding motif.

Can’t quite decide which pastel shade to commit to? Another great trend in bridal is mixing up colors for a rainbow effect! Have each of your ladies wear her own shade of pastel that speaks to her personal taste and style.

Check out some of our favorites below! And to browse through even more bridesmaids dresses, check out the Zappos Wedding Shop.

Something Blue

Should you walk down the aisle without something blue? The tradition dates back to the Victorian England, but blue has been a symbol of faithfulness, purity, and loyalty since the days of ancient Rome. Sapphire earrings or a baby blue garter are a sweet and simple way to honor tradition, but bright cobalt nail polish isn’t as rebellious as your Great Aunt Muriel thinks! Before the nineteenth century, blue wedding dresses were far more common than white  gowns. Today, a soft blue dress makes a great "cut the cake" dress option!

Some brides choose to add a blue ribbon to their bouquets or add a blue monogram to their gowns. Unlike some bridal traditions, this is one custom that encourages creativity. Do you prefer teal to indigo? Adore azure, but can’t abide royal blue? Choose navy blue peep-toes or cobalt pumps to complement a more traditional gown.

Check out some of our blue bridal picks below from the Zappos Wedding Shop!

Destination Weddings

When it comes to types of weddings, a romantic destination wedding is quickly gaining popularity for a couple of different reasons. There’s the obvious appeal of a more intimate ceremony with a small gathering of your closest family and friends—perhaps even just the two of you!

A small destination wedding can also be a more budget-friendly option since there’s less guests involved. You could even take the opportunity to combine your out-of-town nuptials with a family vacation or better yet, the honeymoon!

In keeping with the more relaxed vibe of a destination wedding, check out a few of our picks below for the destination bride! Simple, unfussy looks are best--particularly for a tropical/beach setting.

What to Wear to a Winter Wedding

If you’re celebrating a winter nuptial or two this season, you’ve probably been thinking about what you’ll be wearing. We’ve rounded up a few tips and suggestions to get you started!

  1. There’s a fine line between getting dressed up and being overdressed! It’s quite the faux pas to outdress or steal the spotlight from the bride, so keep it classy and simple.
  2. Lace is a great fabric to wear to both a daytime or evening event. Make sure to wear a good base layer so it’s not too revealing.
  3. For formal black-tie weddings, a black dress or gown in a sleek silhouette is the most versatile choice. You can even wear it again at those holiday parties just by changing up your accessories!
  4. Guys, invest in great suit separates. A single-breasted blazer is a modern way to dress up your go-to button-up shirts for a wedding. Keep it traditional by wearing the matching pant or break it up to add interest.
  5. Wedding receptions usually mean dancing! Make sure you’ve broken in your new dress shoes before hitting the dance floor. You don’t want to end the night with blisters. Ladies, Foot Petals are a great idea just in case!

Fall Wedding Picks

Autumn wedding bells are about to ring, and it’s definitely cause for anticipation and excitement. Although bridal whites and creams will never go out of season, autumnal weddings are the perfect setting for something with a little bit more drama and richness.

For a formal, black-tie affair, we love the idea of classic black, deep navy or rich jewel-toned dresses for the bridesmaids. If your wedding is a more casual daytime event, softer hues such as blushes, beiges and pinks make a great backdrop for the season’s richer color palettes.

Check out some of our current favorites in bridal dresses, shoes and accessories. For even more wedding options, shop the Wedding Shop!
