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:

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:

A Winter Wedding

With all this cold weather and snow this morning, I thought a little winter style session was in order. I was recently asked to help a friend with her wedding. I was obviously thrilled at the thought. The couple is going for a "rustic elegance" feel (something I am very fond of myself). The bride prefers cooler tones, but the one thing the couple agreed on was a candlelit/fireplace warmth. The wedding is next December 2011. I cannot wait to see how the planning unfolds and I am so grateful for the opportunity to help out! Thank you! So here are some concept boards I made, I think 'Burnt Embers' and 'Berry Woods' would also make for a beautiful fall wedding! What do you think? Which are your favorites?
