Here Comes the Bridesmaids!

Bridal Market NYC just wrapped up in April, and all the top U.S. designers revealed the fruit of their imaginations on the runway.  These designs will soon make their way down a different kind of runway – the bridal aisle – later this year and early next year.

Wedding season is upon us, and many women are making plans for what to wear down the aisle.  They are also deciding how to dress their bridal party.  The bridesmaid dress has evolved from a running joke and a back-of-the-closet nightmare, to a sophisticated statement with many high end designers putting in their two cents.  Check out some of the trends and looks that made their way down the catwalk.

Warm Jewel Tones and Sexy Hemlines from Lazaro

Glamour and romance are the hallmarks of Latin designer Lazaro Perez.  For his new collection, he presents dresses that are beautifully cut and elegant, with small details that are eye-catching but subtle.  He’s also not afraid to go above the knee.  What really makes these dresses a show stopper is the rich, bold color of the fabric.  Burgundy Bridal Slipper Satin, Amethyst Bridal Slipper Satin, and Burnished Gold Bridal Slipper Satin all offer a sexy sizzle in a formal dress fabric.

Flirty and Feminine from Wtoo

What’s sexier than soft fabrics that lift on a breeze to reveal a bit of skin?  A Chiffon overlay with a short skirt is girly and classy.  Try using Nude, Peach, or Plum chiffon.

A Cinched Waist with a Swingy Skirt from Jim Hjelm

Many women love this silhouette because it gives them curves in the right places.  Crepe Back Satin has the crispness needed for this design, and you can use both sides for two textures in the same color.
