Sunny Celebration

Summer weddings are often filled with warm weather, colorful flower arrangements, and the glow of the sun shining over the celebration. As a bridesmaid, a summer wedding may even give you the opportunity to tap into a variety of styles, fabrics, and looks that are perfect for walking down the aisle this season.

If you’re looking for the perfect outfit to wear as a bridesmaid, or to share with your bridal party, for a summer wedding, here are seven looks you can consider that are perfect for the sunny season.

Floral Prints

One of the best parts of the summer season are all of the different options available when it comes to dress colors or patterns. It’s a season where bright dresses are on the racks and bold patterns really get their chance to pop. One of the best go-to patterns for a summer bridesmaid dress is a floral look. You can have your bridesmaids mix and match dresses so everyone is wearing a different floral pattern or you can have them match and wear the same dress.

Flowy Dresses

Warmer weather calls for lighter fabrics, like chiffon or polyester. Plus, since bridesmaids are often spending quality time moving around or going outside for pictures, letting them wear a dress that has a flowy bottom to it can make the style more comfortable for them to wear. Consider a dress that’s knee or ankle length and doesn’t have too many layers of heavy fabric.

Earth Tones

If you’re not someone who wants pops of color taking over your wedding ambiance, another summer bridesmaid dress option for you involves mixing earth tones. You can pick a selection of dresses for your bridal party to wear that help blend in with the more natural look of summertime (from greens to grey, light brown to cream). That way, their dresses can play more of a consistent role with the overall vibe of your wedding day and still play into the beauty of the season.

Linen Fabrics

If you’re having a beach or backyard wedding, going with a linen look for your bridesmaids is a fun way to pick a more unique and laid-back style for them to wear. Linen is a popular summertime fabric that people pick when buying pants, tops, and even light-weight jackets for the season. You can find knee-length linen dresses, suits, jumpsuits, and even a skirt and top combination for your bridesmaids to pull off.

Silk Midi-Dress

One bridesmaid dress style that seems to be classic this year, no matter the season, is a sleek and silky midi-dress. This dress can be accessorized with bold earrings or a necklace. Because this style is so popular, you can find thse silk dresses in many different colors and pricepoints.

One-Shoulder, Asymmetrical Look

Having a summer wedding doesn’t mean you need to go with a casual bridesmaid look. If you’re planning a fancy wedding, go with a one-shoulder asymmetrical bridesmaid dress. Not only is it a classic look but one that’s elegant and perfect for a ballroom wedding. You can go with printed styles (like floral and multi-colored) or stick with a one-color look for a more formal option.

Wrap Dress

If you’re looking for a bridesmaid dress style that’s both elegant and comfortable, going with a wrap dress is the perfect summer option. Depending on the location of the weather, you can pick a short or long-sleeved look in a silk or polyester fabric. These dresses are not only perfect for weddings on the sand but also for more formal receptions as well, since you can dress the style up or down with acccesories and shoe options.
