Throw Back Thursday: 1980s Bridesmaid Dresses

I enjoyed researching this throw back immensely! I got such a chuckle looking at the hairstyles and the attire. I totally rocked one of the bridesmaid’s hairstyles (second one from the left, top photo). I found these fabulous photos on www.willyoubemybridesmaidblog.com/. Check them out an see what brides of decades past made their closest friends wear.

A teal dress with puffy sleeves was the height of fashion. Anyone out there remember shoulder pads?

I remember multi-colored bridesmaids as well. Is this a trend that should come back?

    Wow those puffy sleeves are just horrible, I could not imagine putting friends through that, shame I would feel so bad, as for the pastel coloured dresses that I can see doing maybe for a beach wedding I think that could look really amazing
