8 Bridesmaids Dress Trends To Love in 2023
"Here comes the bride... but wait, where did she find those bridesmaid dresses?"
While the unveiling of the gown is a certified highlight of any wedding ceremony, eye-catching bridesmaid attire can set the tone, highlight the color palette and infuse personality into your wedding day. And just like we celebrate every kind of love, we celebrate *every* kind of style that serves as a chic backdrop for modern nuptials.
Explore some of our favorite trends in winter wedding bridesmaid dresses, from of-the-moment hues to gowns dripping in sequins.
Winter Wedding Bridesmaid Dress Trends by Color
Classic Black
This may have been taboo in weddings past, but let’s face it: black is elegant, timeless, and bound to make your wedding whites and blush tones pop.
Go romantic with black satin (we love the billowy sleeves), think wintery with a black velvet gown or keep it classic with a strapless sweetheart or black long-sleeve dress — the off-the-shoulder neckline is just divine.
Natural Greens
The color of the season is green, and we can’t get enough. Add this optimistic hue to your big day with a range of tones that fit every palette. A deep emerald works well for winter weddings, but shades of forest green and sage — especially in satin or velvet — are just as beautiful.
Romantic Reds & Pinks
Love is in the air, after all. Soft shades like dusty pink, blush pink, and pink rose are especially lovely when the light catches the sheen of a satin gown.
But: do dare to go bold. Have your bridesmaids make a statement in fuchsia, burgundy or rich scarlet red.
Winter Blues
Sweeter yet: make your entire bridal party your something blue. The possibilities are endless: ice blue and winter teal are unexpected but on trend for the season. Or, turn to the classics and dress them in a royalsapphire or navy — two shades bound to look beautiful in every photo.
Winter Wedding Bridesmaid Dress Trends by Style
Modern
Although lace and sequins are the typical options for bridesmaids, don’t be afraid to redefine what romance looks like to you. Floor-length gowns aren’t the only route either: satin slips, jumpsuits and tux-inspired suiting feel of the moment and are bound to make a statement. (Plus: your bridesmaids will appreciate something they can wear again.)
Bohemian
If you’re planning a bohemian wedding, experiment with different fabrics and silhouettes. Soft neutral palettes complement a winter wedding beautifully, but nothing says romantic getaway (and an escape from the cold!) like non-traditional prints accented with rich golds.
Romantic
Ruffles, ribbons, sheer — these are the details of fairytale wedding dreams! Dial up the romance with gowns that look ethereal, featuring floor-grazing layers of chiffon, tulle, and lace. When the bridesmaid dress is this impactful, hair, makeup and accessories can stay simple and chic.
Luxe & Glam
Light up the occasion with head-turning dresses that will look stunning day-of… and in photos. Long sequin gowns lend to an elegant affair, while short sequin dresses add playful energy. And never underestimate the power of the off-shoulder silhouette.
