BURGUNDY DRESSES

Heads up! If you want to save this post on your Pinterest board, just scroll down to the bottom, we have prepared an infographic that summarizes this post.

1. Strapless Empire Waist Maxi Dresses

The most classic option. All the brides with the exact same dress in maxi length. One of the most popular options is strapless. In this case, we chose an empire waist because it is flattering for every body shape. Even for pregnant bridesmaids! On the other hand, there are also other very popular neckline options such as halter, v-neck, spaghetti straps,...

2. Diverse styles Maxi Dresses

In this case, the fun part is to combine different styles, keeping the same length. Each one of your friends is different, so why not allow them to choose the style they feel more comfortable with. You just fix the length and the color, and they can choose among a variety of styles. Just pay attention to the combinations. Necklines (5): halter, spaghetti-strap, asymmetric, deep v-neck, strapless, and boat neck. Top styles (5): blouson, wrap, flared, empire-waist, natural waist (none of this selection is natural-waist, but you can go for it). Skirts styles (3): with or without a vent, high-low. This means that you and your bridesmaids have 75 different options for the same length and color.

3. Diverse styles Knee-length Dresses

This is a more informal version of the previous combo. Here you can see how much the mood of your bridesmaid's dresses changes when you shorten the length of the dresses. These days they are getting more and more popular. Millenial generation tends to prefer more informal weddings. On the other hand, these dresses are funnier and more comfortable, so your bridesmaids will enjoy double.

4. Elegant wrap knee length dresses

Classy, and stylish. We love this combo for a urban wedding, despite it can match any type of wedding. The wrap dress streamlines the body figure and, it could seem surprising, but the fact is that due to the fact that it wraps the body, it is flattering for any body shape. Choose different lengths for each dress in order to make it more comfortable for each of your bridesmaids, depending on how much leg they do want to show. Plus, it ads a beautiful diversity to the whole.

5. Mix & Match Styles and tones: Blush Pink & Burgundy

We start our first mix&match colors with this combo which combines diferent styles and lengths. It's one of our favourites. It's fresh, it's inclusive, it's diverse. Due to the fact that you are combining different tones, you can choose the one that goes better with skin and hair color of each of your brides. Plus, depending on each bridesmaid body type, you can go for one or another option. We want to highlight that there are two extreme dress styles,. The one in the left is bold, or even sassy, with generous deep v-neck and short skirt,. On the other hand, the one in the right, is elegant, maxi length and with just one long sleeve. Some would say it's a modest dress.

Like a flower bouquet. Your bridesmaids surround you like roses. Match this with lots of green in your Bridal bouquet(s) and it will be perfect. Ideal on vintage, romantic, whismical and rustic wedding styles. In this case we chose a maxi wrap dress with spaghetti straps and front vent, but you can combine it however you want. You can just link on one of the dresses in the link, click on Customize and change the style.

7. Mix & Match Tones & Styles: Bottle Green & Burgundy

As you probably know, the matching color to burgundy is dark green. That's why this combination works so well. Ideal for weddings in fall/winter. Combine it with those moody natural fall colors for total success. In this case, we suggest matching different styles to make it more diverse. If you chose the same style and this color combination it may be a bit dull, but it will be exquisitely elegant.

And last but not least. You don't want to bet all to one color and yet you don't want to let each bridesmaid decide which one to choose? This is your solution: bi-color dresses. In this case, we chose an elegant blush pink and burgundy combination on wrap dresses styled with a tulip skirt.

Shoes: allow the bridesmaids to wear their favorite pair. They will make them feel more comfortable, show off their personality and style.
Jewels: Add On Some Jewels. Subtle and elegant. Something that doesn't steal the show of the bride.
Purse: Get a Bold and Bright Purse. Gold and green are perfect for the tones in this post.
Fitting: Perfect fitting is the big difference between a so-so dress and a gorgeous one. Prepare this with time so you have enough days for alterations before the event.
Bra: Find the Right Bra for your chosen dress. You don't want your bra to show off and be the center of all eyes.
