support Fashion and accessory ideas for the bride, bridesmaids, mothers and groomsmen #SQUADGOALS The top trend for maids in 2022 to be inspired by are: ❤ The romance for retro. The ‘90s are back, more so the satin slip dress. Although it may not be for every body shape, it’s romantic, elegant, comes in a variety of colours, and is on-trend ❤ Royal approval. With our love of period dramas still going strong, Victorian-style ruffles and layers can certainly look the part on a modern silhouette – think statement shoulders, waterfall skirts, hems and across the body – super flattering too! ❤ Technicolour dreamboat. Gone are the days when all the bridesmaids are in one dress colour and style. The mix and match look are here to stay, and this has evolved into not just colour palettes such as all wearing various shades of blue or pink, but also textures. Your bridal party will look gorgeous in a mix of satin, velvet and sequins. ❤ Colour swatch. Undecided on your colour scheme? Be inspired by these trending bridesmaid dress tones: pastels, neutral colours and earth shades – venue styling matching these will complete a cohesive look. ❤ Stand out from the crowd. If your bride squad encompasses a bridesman, or sometimes people just don’t like wearing dresses, then why not match the maids in style or colour but opt for a velvet dinner suit jacket, tuxedo, or rock a jumpsuit! When it comes to a wedding day, whether you’re the bride or a guest, the milliondollar question for everyone is: what am I going to wear? For the happy couple, as they are the stars of the show, it's likely that they have at least an idea of what their big-day look will be like. But for the rest of the bridal party, where do you begin? First and foremost, the venue setting and theme of the day is paramount. A long flowing gown for bridesmaids will look out of place in a field for a tipi wedding; similarly, the motherof-the-bride in a bold, tropical print, summer dress may stand out again a stately home wedding with a Bridgerton-inspired theme. Secondly, the season will dictate not only the fashion choices, the colour palette – no one wears pastel yellow in winter – but also your accessory choice. Boleros, jackets and wrap will be your cosy friend for winter ‘I dos’.
