Blue as a color has always been considered the most serene and peaceful one regardless on what it is used, either on the walls in your room or on the fabric of your favorite dress. The same can be said about the blue bridesmaids dresses – they can definitely attract the eyes of the invitees in the ambiance of your wedding celebration. Many brides will opt perhaps for other versions of colored bridesmaids dresses, such as light pink or cream, or maybe light green, but nothing compares to the distinct and serene aspect of blue color.
Blue in its lighter hues, will lead one to the image of sea water or a clear sky symbolizing as such the harmony and the balance of life. Therefore choosing blue bridesmaids dresses for your friends will create a great and refreshing look at the wedding.
In case you opt of the darker shade of blue you should consider the note of your wedding set in an elegant and classy one as the navy blue color for instance imprints the dress a sophistication through which the elegance can be fulfilled. If you have considered the bridesmaids dresses colored blue you should also know that this color matches with any skin tone.
Now that the thing with the color is settled you should take into account other aspects of the blue bridesmaids dresses, such as the style of the dress, the type of cloth and the design that should go with your bridesmaids’ personality. Maybe for the brides who are not very familiar with the trendy looks and how they must be found to suit every style and personality, the advice of a fashioner is very valuable.
In case you do not afford paying one for this issue, you should then consult the online pages of bridal attires and see what are there displayed. One idea would be to look online for simple design as in this way you can make sure that this one fits every style and personality.
Then looking for the fabric is another aspect that needs to be considered – for instance, the summer days will ask for silk, chiffon or georgette colored in one of these options of blue: pastel blue, sky blue and turquoise blue. As to the colder days, you should choose other sorts of fabrics that are thicker and stiffer colored in navy blue, royal blue or even electric blue.
Just keep in mind that whatever style, shade or fabric you opt for, the blue bridesmaids dresses should perfectly complement the entire wedding celebration both in color and appearance of the bridesmaids.

The Choice of Wedding Flowers Sprays
Wedding flowers sprays have always been seen as an alternative to the various other styles of bridal bouquets as they can be worn alongside the bride’s arm when she walks the aisle. A ‘spray’, how they are usually referred to, is comprised of some long stemmed flowers that are tide together in a bunch and carried as mentioned in a cradled gesture of the arm.
Many brides will say that wedding flowers sprays are not the types that can be used to make that bridal bouquet that a bride is supposed to toss at the young women after the ceremony is over and she is already married. With tossing the bridal bouquet, she will hand over the ‘flame’ for one of the single young women who catches the bouquet to be the next in line to get married.
Indeed it is so, there won’t be any more tossing of bridal bouquet, as many times these sorts of wedding flower sprays are mostly preferred by brides who are at their second marriage or who have a more casual type of their wedding. Along with these reasons, we find also wedding flower sprays to be favored by the tall brides, as an elongated shape of floral bunch can complement the look of the bride, adding up to her elegance.
Another reason for choosing wedding flower sprays is the costs of the flowers. Most of the times, the bridal bouquet as well as those of the bridesmaids alone can cost more than the table floral arrangements depending of course of the choice of blooms and accessories to go with the decoration of the bouquets. But when it comes to the choice of wedding flower sprays, the prices of these ones can cut these expensive costs by more than half of the usual costs.
Oh, by the way, these wedding flower sprays can be the choices of long stem blooms that grow in your mother’s garden and to these ones you just need to add some decorative items (colorful ribbons and greenery) and make them look unique complementing your bridal appearance also in a quite unique manner. For the bridesmaids choices of bouquets you can cut the long stemmed flowers and make small posies that can be smaller replicas of your bridal wedding flowers sprays bouquet.
For the table arrangements and the spaces in the church, the option of wedding flower sprays is also favored over the expensive versions as you can easily put them in tall slim vases with a piece of greenery and as such you can obtain a subtle floristic effect with less expense but more delicacy added to your wedding ambiance.

Bridesmaid Dress Colors
It is perfectly acceptable to choose your favorite color, the one included in your color palette to express your taste and personality regarding the bridesmaids outfits. Remember that every color has negative and positive connotations, and even combinations of colors can emphasize a chromatic aspect.
One can even interpret the combination of shades from your wedding dress with that of the bridesmaids.
Red is the color of love, energy and power. Matched with white, this color will highlight the intense love and passion you feel that day and at the same time, will be an indicator of the perfection you are looking for, and the new beginning, symbolized by the ceremony.
Pink suggests delicacy and your femininity. Dressed in pink, the bridesmaids will add extra romance to the wedding, and will look adorable and youthful when they sit next to you.
Purple This shade expresses your creativity and also underscores your desire of individuality and the confidence you have in your new life.
Blue Shades of blue will bring a positive air around you, because blue induces a state of calm. In combination with the white from your dress, this color will make you seem stress-free.
Green symbolizes freshness, imagination and demonstrates you have a sense of joy. Combined with your white dress, green may suggest hope, luck and fertility.
Orange is an intense way to wear yellow. Choosing this colors shows you’re a person full of energy and good humor, with self confidence and who likes exotic things. It is a wonderful color for a wedding held in late summer or early autumn.
When choosing the fabric for wedding dresses, keep in mind that some fabrics fit better than others, or that shinny ones might not favor some of the bridesmaids. Another option, besides the recommendation of a single shade for their outfit is choosing a single type of fabric. Thus, the bridesmaids will be able to choose different cuttings, and still match the dresses.
Although traditionally wedding means a row of identical bridesmaid dresses with lots of ruffles, the saying “one style fits all” is clearly overrated. If you are not sure whether or not you want all your bridesmaids to be dressed like twin sisters, here are some arguments that will tip the balance in favor of customizing their outfits:bridesmaids have different heights and silhouettes; they also have different personalities and styles. Just because they will not have identical dresses, does not mean they will be less elegant. There are ways to create a style “uniform”, while allowing individuality and flexibility.

To be or not to be a bridesmaid
Behind every bride there is a bridesmaid. Nowadays most brides want to be accompanied by as many bridesmaids possible and the bride chooses how many to ask. You know what they say: “the more, the merrier and they must all dress alike”.
Historically, no person of status went out unattended, and the size of the retinue was closely calculated to be appropriate to the family’s social status. Then, as now, a large group of bridesmaids provided an opportunity for showing off the family’s social status and wealth.
The maid of honor status is not a commercial invention of our time. The tradition dates from ancient Roman times, where the bridesmaids formed a real human shield to hide the bride from kidnappers.
Another version of the legend says that ten witnesses were required at a wedding in order to outsmart evil spirits (believed to attend marriage ceremonies) by dressing in identical clothing to the bride and groom, so that the evil spirits would not know who was getting married.
In 19th century England, there was a belief that ill-wishers could administer curses and taint the wedding. In Victorian wedding photographs, for example, the bride and groom are frequently dressed in the same fashion as other members of the bridal party.
Traditionally, bridesmaids are chosen from unwed young women of marriageable age, and they also organize the bridal shower or bachelorette party (US) or hen night (Australia and UK). It’s a great responsibility to manage things in the right direction, be sure to do your homework well!
Since modern bridesmaids, unlike their historical counterparts, can no longer rely on having their clothes and travel expenses paid for by the bride’s family, and are sometimes even assessed fees to pay for parties that the bride wants to have before the wedding, it has become customary for the bride to present the bridesmaids with gifts as a sign of gratitude for the support and financial commitment that comes with their roles. It has become equally customary for wary women who are invited to serve as bridesmaids to first ask after the amount of time, energy, and money that the bride expects from them before accepting this position. If you know the bride is very demanding, be sure to check with her before making any important decision. But be cautious, do not overdo the questions, take into account the bride already has her head wrapped in the wedding preparation. Act with discretion!
On the day of the wedding, the principal duty is to provide practical and emotional support. The bridesmaid might assist the bride with dressing and, if needed, help the bride manage her veil, a bouquet of flowers, a prayer book, or the train of her wedding dress during the day. If there is a reception after the wedding, the maid of honor may be asked to offer a toast to the newlyweds.
