Wedding Day visited some of the finest local bridal boutiques in the area to find the latest trends in bridesmaid gown styles & fashion. Yes, it’s your day to shine - but your bridesmaids will twinkle at your side if you choose a dress with their style and tastes in mind.
THE BRIDE TO BE - FORT WAYNE, IN
Almost daily we have requests from brides for the latest one-shoulder fashions. Why shouldn’t that translate to the bridal party as well? Fabric and fit are the ingredients that make these runway stunners a sure hit down the aisle. For example, when choosing a fabric, select one you’d wear yourself. If the bodice is fitted, the skirt should go easy on the curves but create a few for maids that have a more athletic build.
