Bill Levkoff Bridesmaid Dresses

Maids In Heaven When considering what your girls will wear, here are a few tips to keep in mind.

Think about your wedding style. 

Is it classic, modern, or maybe even vintage? Your bridesmaids’ dresses should complement your style. If you’re wearing a breezy chiffon gown for a destination wedding, your maids might look out of place in formal taffeta dresses.

Color is an important issue.

If your girls range from fair to dark skin tones, be sure the dress color flatters all. Another option is to pick one color and let your girls choose the shade that suits them best, for an ombre effect.

Consider the time of year. 

Seasonal colors may play a role in deciding: Brilliant fall tones of orange and red for September/October, fresh, pastel spring hues for April/May.

Be flexible. 

Today, the majority of bridesmaids like to have some input on what they're wearing. And because the trend is to not have matching dresses, Bill Levkoff offers a wide range of styles in every color under the rainbow. You pick the color and fabric; each bridesmaid can then decide on the style that flatters her best.

We love Bill Levkoff & we're sure your bridesmaids will too!

One of our favorite fall colors, Bordeaux, is a dramatic hue which we predict will be popular for many autumn weddings. A great color on all skin types, you'll certainly want to have your bridesmaids try out this shade.

Every bridesmaid wants a dress that they can wear again and again. These little black dresses (or LBDs) are sure to please any of your friends who will be beside you on your big day. These fun, pleated, cocktail dresses can not only serve as bridesmaid dresses, but can certainly be worn at future parties or for a fun night out.
