Pippa Power

Being asked to be a bridesmaid often sends shivers down many a spine.  Ultimately the big question is "What will I HAVE to wear"?   At the recent royal wedding, Pippa, Kate Middleton's sister rasied the bar for bridesmaids by wearing one of the most talked about bridesmaids dresses in recent times.  The classic Sarah Burton, off white, capped sleeved, body hugging sheath Pippa wore immediately sent shock waves through the fashion world.  Fashions Stylists were ranting just as much about Pippa's gown as they were about her sister's Kate wedding dress.  The dress could not have been more fashionably perfect and knock off's of the dress are already hitting store racks.

Brides take note, not everyone can wear a body hugging gown like Pippa but every bridesmaid can look and feel good on your wedding day.  The first rule of thumb is choosing a colour that will flatter all your special ladies.  There are four international colours that literally look fabulous on everyone-ivory, salmon, aqua and periwinkle are perfect colours to choose if you have an array of skintones and hair colours in your group.

Another great way to achieve happiness amongst your bridal party is to choose the fabric and colour and let your bridemaids choose there own style.  Brides in the Windsor area should definitely visit Always A Bridesmaid located in Tecumseh. http://alwaysabridesmaid.ca/  Here you will find both the After Six and Alfred Angelo bridesmaids lines that make ordering the same fabic dresses in individual styles an easy task.

Keep styles simple and classic.  The beauty of Pippa's dress was really the elegant simplicity of it.  Keeping your bridesmaids happy by choosing dresses they feel good in will ultimately make the road to your wedding day a much simplier path to travel.
