The Prettiest Bridesmaid Look for Summer
Good morning lovelies! Whilst my days are getting shorter and colder here, and I am spending more and more of my time dreaming of warmer climes and white beaches (you may have noticed CVB’s Honeymoon Pinterest board being filled with images much like this one) I know many of you are looking forward to the long hazy days of summer ahead. There are so many pretty summer fashion trends filtering through this year, with many making their way into the wedding industry for brides and bridesmaids alike; but one in particular has caught my eye!…..

Bold and bright, fresh, flirty and fun, super cute and have I mentioned stylish? Stripes make the PERFECT look for Summer (or Spring) bridesmaids! Figure flattering and ever so versatile, stripes suit a multitude of themes from vintage 1950s to preppy, nautical or French chic; and you don’t have to go all out stripe to incorporate the look into your big day. Want to see what I mean? Here are 5 of the prettiest ways to dress your bridesmaids in stripes for 2014…..
Short & Sweet Stripes
Stripes never look sassier than when they are short and sweet (and there can be no better time than summer for your bridesmaids to flash those pins)…..

For a more polished look for a formal affair though, long and elegant stripes look really stylish…..

Colour block top and striped skirts are so fun and super flattering! A little less in your face than a dress and a great way to incorporate a third or 4th colour into your palette…..
Subtle Stripes
Bold isn’t for everyone, so these more subtle stripes give just a hint of the look and will suit the prettiest of weddings…..
White & Black Lace Striped Dress
Just a Splash of Stripes
If you’re not swayed by the dresses above though, choose a statement accessory to incorporate the look and make your bridesmaids ensemble pop…..
Striped Scarf (available in Navy & Red too!)
Striped Hat
Stripes are a fab way to have fun with your bridesmaid’s look! Aren’t they lovely? In fact bridesmaid or no, stripes will definitely be making an appearance in my wardrobe come Spring! They’re not just for the grownup gals in your bridal party though! Just look at the super-cute and striped flower girl dresses I stumbled upon…..
