Finding the perfect bridesmaid dress is no easy task – but a beaded style? That’s a sure winner, across the board. Beaded bridesmaid dresses are a beautiful way to move away from the bland, boring options and head towards something that’s going to complement the special aesthetic of your big day perfectly.
Plus, whether you go for something creative and colourful or nuanced and neutral, these dresses are going to catch the light beautifully and make for some truly stunning bridesmaids, and wedding photos, too – which is always a plus! Keep reading for a few beaded bridesmaid dress ideas that are guaranteed to nail the almost impossible brief time around…
Subtle Studs
If you want to go for beaded styles, but want to keep to the more subtle side of things, a gently studded embroidered option is going to serve you best. Look for a clean-cut, strap dress style with a classic v-neck structure to stick to a timeless silhouette, and let the gentle shimmer of delicate yet impactful glistening studs do all the work. You can amp up the accessories with statement hairstyles, eye-catching strap heels or flower crowns, or stick with the classic vibe of the dress and make your add-ons more dainty and minimal.
Dreamy Tulle
Shining beads and floating tulle? A match made in bridal party heaven. A long, voluminous tulle skirt is going to bring some sophisticated drama to your beaded bridesmaid aesthetic. Be sure to go for a more muted tone here like beige, mauve or soft grey to avoid overpowering your overall big day styling. Opt for a high bun to have a flock of bridesmaids that look beautiful, classic and perfectly complimentary to your centre-stage piece.
Vintage Flare
Looking for something a little unexpected, but nothing too out there for your nearest and dearest? A straight-cut shimmering beaded bridesmaid dress finished with a fringe of floating feathers is the way to do it. This has a touch of vintage old-world glamour to it, ideal if your wedding is more formal with a touch of fun to it still. Keep hair, makeup and accessories paired back to let this stunning beaded style shine all on its own.
Statement Sleeves
If your big day is scheduled during the cooler months, you might be hunting for dress styles with longer sleeves for added warmth. Statement sleeves are a great way of going about this. A wider, flared sleeve will bring a touch of 70s chic to your wedding, with the added impact of soft shimmer that’s going to dance with the light perfectly. Keep hair flowing and curled or add a few floral elements to lean into the dreamy, romantic tone of this bridesmaid look option.
Bright and Bold
Last but not least, the bold, bright and beautiful trend! Colourful bridesmaid dresses are a stunning way to shake things up and bring something extra special to your big day. A deep wine-toned red or jewel hue is going to contrast amazingly against the brilliant white of your bridal ensemble, making for a dramatic, creative scene that’s sure to stay in everyone’s memory as long as it does yours! Keep the cut classic here to avoid overpowering your outfit.
Your bridesmaids are sure to be thrilled with any one of these gorgeous options! Which one will you bring to the table this wedding season?
