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.
