Ballerina-inspired Bridesmaids Dresses



We’ve all heard of themed wedding gowns, but that doesn’t mean that bridesmaids get to miss out on all the fun! Ballerina-inspired bridesmaids dresses come in a multitude of designs and colors but they all share one common feature - a stiff skirt, due to the tulle. This distinct characteristic of a skirt constructed partly or entirely out of tulle creates a silhouette flattering for practically every body type so if you're planning on having uniform outfits for all your bridesmaids, then such is the way to go!

A ballerina bridesmaids dress, just like the tulle fabric itself, is versatile in that they'll go well with almost any wedding theme. Of course, the right type of styling is necessary to ensure that the entire outfit is pulled together and will fit in seamlessly with the theme of the wedding. Here are a couple of ways to style your bridesmaids ballerina dresses in accordance to certain themes:

Theme 1: Swan Lake

You can't talk of ballet-inspired bridal fashion without having a ballet theme come to mind. Pair ballerina-esque bridesmaids dresses with high, chic buns and simple studs or drop earrings. Hair accessories, such as birdcage veils, are becoming popular for bridesmaids as well. In this case, feathered clips and combs are not only super chic but also keeping with the current feather trend.

While ballet flats paired with bun heads may toe the line at being costume rather than outfit, Toms have become all the rage! We suggest an either or technique: ballet flats or ballet buns, but not both.

Theme 2: Breakfast at Tiffany's


The A-line silhouette that a tulle skirt creates makes it perfect for a wedding with a theme that's all about the glamour and sophistication of Old Hollywood. How can a bride not feel fabulous when followed by an entourage of Holly Golightlys?

Pair the dress with a pair of pearl necklace along with a tiny bouquet in hand and pull the look together with a pair of pointy pumps. A pair of shades will also be welcome for an outdoor ceremony.  

Theme 3: Alice in Wonderland

Bridesmaids dresses with tulle skirts can exude a playful feel. If you're planning a garden party themed wedding, add on to the already colorful outdoor decor by having your bridesmaids accessorize with fancy fascinators and statement shoes. The tulle dress we’ve picked out has an asymmetrical skirt for a fun and modern feel.

Instead of a bouquet, why not have them walk down the aisle holding sticks of candy or lollipops with perhaps a charm bracelet or two around their wrists.

Atlanta Real Wedding: Regina & Chris, a TSE Couple

I really enjoyed working with Regina and Chris and I do mean Regina...and Chris as he was just as much involved in the planning as Regina was.  Another reason I enjoyed working with them is because they are personal friends of mine.  Regina and I have been friends for 18 years and counting and Chris has been in her life seems like just as long, so naturally I love and adore them both.  Their wedding took place at Eagles Landing Country Club, a beautiful venue south of Atlanta.  Sonya Yim was the photographer and she did an excellent job.  Below is a sneak peak of their wedding...enjoy!
