DRESSING THE BRIDAL PARTY 81 2025 trends for the bridal party to be inspired by Fall in love with fashion When it comes to ‘dressing up’ not everyone knows what to wear, how to wear it and more importantly, how to feel confident in it! From the guests to the parents, the bridesmaids to the groomsmen, everyone is going through the same thought process when a wedding invite comes through the door, ‘what am I going to wear’ followed by panic! Those part of the wedding entourage will have their fashion choices influenced by themes or colour schemes the couples have chosen for the big day. Whilst colour schemes can be largely dependent on the season, neutrals are set to dominate throughout the next year. Purples and reds have moved aside to allow for champagne to take over. Where couples have opted for more colour, those still wanting to reflect nature have continued choosing the ever popular sage-green. Additionally, bows are back, with many wanting to integrate them into their design choices throughout the day, from their outfits to decoration, they provide a touch of feminity and elegance. SHOUT OUT TO THE MUMS Mothers-of-the-bride and -groom are going to feel just as much the centre of attention as the happy couple – and so they should! This though, can lead to an increased amount of pressure for women in that age bracket that may not have worn an outfit like that before, or for a while at least. Most importantly, always go for comfort, weddings are long days with lots of standing and sitting around so your outfit has to work for all circumstances – you want to enjoy the day, not feel uncomfortable and distracted by sore feet or tight clothes. When it comes to the design, a classic silhouette will forever be elegant, and if you’ve not been told to coordinate with the wedding party, then mum’s can be inspired by next year’s trends. Leading mother-of-the-bride and occasion wear design house Veromia advises says, “Feminine florals are key for spring/summer 2025 weddings, while shades of dusty pink, almond, mint and sky blue are standout colours of the season. “The dress designs will be soft and floaty with asymmetrical hemlines, and bodices, while others will feature a scattering of soft beadwork.” The Veromia collection is available at renowned Ashtead-based bridal boutique Brides Visited in Surrey. Brides Visited has a fabulous reputation for its knowledgeable service, warm and friendly welcome and an aptitude for knowing what styles work for each visitor helping them to find their dream outfit.
