In The Details: Patterned Dresses

Usually when I hear the words Pattern + Bridesmaid, I cringe a little bit. Why? Because sometimes patterned dresses can go wrong. Recently I've noticed a few weddings featured on some of my favorite blogs included some lovely patterned bridesmaid dresses. I've also noticed a few bridesmaids dresses including unexpected patterned designs that have challenged my feelings about pattern bridesmaids dresses. Do I dare say it. I'm falling for the patterned Bridesmaid dress.

A Bride who plans her wedding and incorporates a lovely pattern is making a bold choice and showing her style and individuality and that is something I think is always fabulous. Before you make any judgments let's look at some photo inspiration first.





Patterns don't have to be just about floral prints, it can be lovely stripes or other geometric designs as well.



If you're on the fence about Pattern dresses, think about mixing a pattern with a solid color to add some depth to your overall wedding style.
