As engagement season comes to a close, a bunch of couples are now
planning a wedding - and many are excited about a summer ceremony. Those who are looking for bridesmaids dresses may be curious to what the popular trends are for this summer.
Short and fun dresses seem to be the popular item for bridesmaids across the country. The hot wedding colors for these gowns include raspberry, tangerine and jade. However, there are a wide array of colors that brides and their bridesmaids can choose from that will hopefully flatter the women along with pleasing the new bride.
Brides are also letting their favorite gal pals make some decisions, which is a big change of pace for those who used to be stuck in whatever garment the bride thought appropriate.
"More and more brides are letting their bridesmaids have more control over their dresses. This allows bridesmaids to choose the style that flatters them most and find a dress that they will be able to wear again," said Kim Strauss, owner and founder of The Wedding Accessory Superstore.
