From stunning colour palettes to elegant dress styles and the dreamiest flower choices, we've got the inside scoop on what's going to make your bridal party shine. So, let's dive in and see what is going to be popular in 2024!
Colours that pop!
First up, let's talk about colours – the backbone of your bridesmaids' ensembles. The colour palette you choose can set the tone for your entire wedding, and 2024 offers some fantastic options.
Off-white
Now, this one is a little controversial but white is emerging as a popular choice for 2024. Yes, you read that right, white! While the bride's colour is often a different shade of white, many brides are opting for white or off-white gowns for their bridesmaids. This unconventional choice adds a touch of elegance and purity to the bridal party.
Soft neutrals
If you're leaning towards a more traditional route, soft neutrals are also making a comeback. Think shades like ivory, champagne, and blush. These hues create a timeless and sophisticated look that complements lots of different wedding styles, from classic to boho-chic.
Willow green
For nature-loving brides, willow green is the "it" colour for bridesmaids in 2024! This earthy and serene shade looks gorgeous in outdoor weddings, garden ceremonies, and rustic venues.It’s also a great option if you’re focused on an eco-friendly wedding and would like colours that match that theme.
Soft pinks
Pink is always a popular choice, and 2024 is all about the soft pinks. Think shades like blush, dusty rose, and ballet pink; colours that exude femininity and grace. These shades are universally flattering and pair beautifully with greenery and other pastel shades.
Terracotta
If you want to add a warm and rustic touch to your wedding, terracotta is your go-to colour. This earthy, reddish-brown hue is incredibly versatile and can be paired with a range of complementary colours, making it an ideal choice for a trendy, bohemian wedding.
Dress styles that wow!
Now that we've nailed down the colour palette, let's talk dress styles. This year, bridesmaids' fashion is all about embracing individuality with a focus on comfort.
Mix and match
Gone are the days of uniform bridesmaids' dresses, 2024 is all about mix-and-match styles. Allow your bridal party to choose dresses that best suit their body type and personal style while sticking to your chosen colour palette. This approach not only looks fabulous in photos but also makes your bridesmaids feel beautiful and helps to prevent any squabbles over dress styles.
Vintage glamour
Vintage-inspired bridesmaids' dresses are making a huge comeback, and it is easy to see why! We’re talking A-line silhouettes, flutter sleeves, and delicate lace details that add a touch of old-world charm to your bridal party.
Jumpsuits and rompers
For the bride who wants something a bit unconventional, jumpsuits and rompers are a trendy choice for 2024. They offer comfort, versatility, and a dash of contemporary flair. Plus, your bridesmaids can boogie the night away without worrying about tripping over a long gown!
High-low hemlines
If you're looking to add a bit more drama and something unique to your bridesmaids' attire, consider high-low hemlines. This style allows for an elegant, flowing look in the back while showing off stylish footwear or cool sandals or trainers in the front.
Blooms that blossom!
Now, let's not forget about the finishing touch that completes your bridesmaids' look – flowers! Your choice of floral arrangements can tie everything together and take your bridal party's style to new levels.
Wildflower bouquets
2024 is all about embracing the natural beauty of wildflowers. Bouquets featuring a mix of seasonal blooms, greenery, and a touch of whimsy are perfect for creating a boho-chic vibe. Wildflowers are also very versatile as there is such a wide range of colours and shapes to choose from; the only limit is your imagination!
Succulent accents
For a contemporary twist, incorporate succulents into your bridesmaids' bouquets. These hardy and unique plants add texture and a pop of colour to your wedding aesthetic which is perfect for a more rustic feeling wedding. Plus, they make for fantastic keepsakes after the big day.
Dried florals
Dried florals are having their very own moment in 2024. Bouquets made from dried flowers and foliage provide an ethereal and slightly vintage vibe. They're also a sustainable option that will last long after the wedding – they make a great eco-friendly confetti option too!
Single bloom bunches
For an elegant and minimalist look, consider single bloom bouquets. A single, stunning flower, such as a peony, rose or a protea, can make a bold statement and emphasise simplicity and sophistication. If you’re planning a very specific theme or you just want to draw attention to your favourite blossom, this is a great choice!
