Your Surrey Wedding - October/November 2024 (Issue 109)

82 BRILLIANT BRIDESMAIDS At Surrey’s Always & Forever Bridal Studio, they know the bridal party plays an essential supporting role in creating the perfect wedding look. From bridesmaids to flowergirls, dressing the bridal party is an exciting part of the planning process. With fashion constantly evolving, 2025 promises to be a year of stunning trends in bridesmaids’ attire and accessories, that will make the entire bridal party look and feel incredible. Here, the team outline the top trends to look out for... 1. Bold, jewel-toned palettes Gone are the days of pastel-only bridesmaids’ dresses. In 2025, expect to see a shift towards rich, jewel-toned colours such as emerald green, sapphire blue, maroon, and deep ruby red. These colours add a touch of elegance and create a striking contrast against white or ivory bridal gowns. Jewel tones are timeless yet modern, offering brides and their parties the chance to stand out. 2. Mix-and-match styles with a twist Personalisation is key for 2025, and mix-and-match bridesmaid dresses will continue to be popular, but with more tailored styling. Bridesmaids may wear dresses in different cuts and necklines, but they’ll be unified by common elements such as fabric type or a signature color palette. This trend allows each bridesmaid to find a flattering look that suits her individual style, creating a cohesive yet diverse bridal party. 3. Sleek, minimalist silhouettes Minimalism will make a strong comeback, with bridesmaids wearing sleek and simple gowns that focus on clean lines and refined elegance. Think column dresses, slip gowns, and structured A-line styles. Less is more in 2025, with understated dresses being elevated by exquisite fabrics like silk satin or crepe, which add luxury without unnecessary embellishment. 4. Sustainable and eco-friendly choices Sustainability is a growing trend that extends to bridal fashion. For the eco-conscious bride, 2025 will see a rise in bridesmaid dresses made from sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, and bamboo blends. Ethical fashion brands are designing beautiful, planetfriendly gowns that allow bridesmaids to feel good about what they’re wearing – both aesthetically and environmentally. Accessories to complement 2025 bridesmaids’ looks: 1. Statement earrings Oversized statement earrings are set to dominate bridesmaids’ accessory trends in 2025. Bold, artistic designs in gold, pearls, or gemstones will be the perfect finishing touch to minimalist gowns, adding a dash of personality without overwhelming the look. From geometric shapes to modern floral motifs, bridesmaids will have plenty of ways to express themselves through jewellery. 2. Chic, coordinated outerwear Depending on the season, outerwear will play a significant role in bridesmaids’ attire. For winter or evening weddings, expect to see chic cover-ups like velvet wraps, tailored blazers, or faux fur shrugs. These stylish additions not only keep the bridal party comfortable but also add an extra layer of sophistication. 3. Personalised accessories Monogrammed clutches, personalised hairpieces, or even custom footwear will add unique, thoughtful touches to bridesmaids’ outfits in 2025. Brides are leaning toward customised details that make each bridesmaid feel special, creating lasting keepsakes beyond the big day. At Always & Forever Bridal Studio, they pride themselves on staying ahead of the curve, offering the latest bridesmaid styles and accessories that reflect the newest trends. Whether you’re looking for timeless elegance or modern chic, its vast collection ensures that every member of your bridal party will shine on your special day.
