Fall and Winter Bridesmaids

A while back I was helping a friend come up with design ideas for her winter wedding. Rustic weddings are so popular lately as is giving your bridesmaids individuality. Well I thought it would be so beautiful and adorable to put a little twist on the bridesmaids traditional attire for a fall or winter wedding. To keep it in the rustic category what if you had all of your best girls wear a cream lacy or girly type dress of their choosing. They could be long sleeved or sleeveless that way they are comfortable and the girls could show their own style, like this:

All dresses from Lulus

Or, like my original thought, have them wear matching, or mismatched sweater dresses in your winter wedding. Or lace, velvet or even sequined dresses! Wouldn't that be so cute?? They could even wear colored or dark tights and adding a metallic gold or silver skinny belt to a lot of these would top the outfit off perfectly. Here are a couple examples in mostly neutral colors to give you an idea, but you could do this in any color, any material, any embellishment. The idea is to really think out of the box for your bridesmaids especially if you want your wedding to be original. Also, this could save your ladies a lot of money as almost every single dress is well under $100 and if it isn't you could find a version of it for the price range I am sure, not to mention they would be totally comfortable. Can't you just imagine these beautiful and cozy dresses paired with some adorable heels, and a gorgeous bouquet?? Here are my picks:

Dresses - Victorias Secret

Style Steal - Julianne Hough

I am very excited to introduce a new type of blog topic called "Style Steal". If there is a look I find that I love, or you love and have sent to me for inspiration, I will recreate the look for MUCH MUCH less! How awesome is that?! We can all take a cue from the celebrities when it comes to fashion from time to time, but of course most of us don't have their budget, as a matter of fact I am sure they don't even know what a budget is!

So to kick off the premiere of Style Steals I have chosen one of my personal style icons, Julianne Hough. Isn't she just adorable?!? She is wearing a very romantic and feminine little number. Casual enough for shopping as she is doing, but also dressy enough for going out with friends or your lover boy, or girl (no need to leave anyone out here). My favorite pieces are the lace skirt and this gorgeous pink, caramel and gold bag (I want!) You can find the pricing info and where to find the items below. This look really is a style steal!
