Fashion Fever by Demi Bourous
There are so many questions and options when it comes to bridesmaid dresses; style, length, and most importantly color. Fortunately, Pantone’s Color of 2014 makes at least one of those decisions a little bit easier! Radiant Orchid is a fun and fresh pink color that’s sure to please and easy to incorporate into any season. If you recall, 2012’s was Tangerine Tango, and 2013 was Emerald Green both of which are beautiful but often difficult for certain skin tones to pull off. This years color is much more universally flattering so if you’re looking at bridesmaid dresses then this should be your go to color! Remember, we’re brides that love our friends and want them to be just as comfortable and beautiful as we are on our wedding day; after all, pictures (and good friends) last a lifetime. Allowing them to help pick out their dress style is a great “bonding” experience and will make them feel special and confident on the wedding day. **Special Tip: It’s best to do this one on one so you aren’t overwhelmed with competing opinions…a la SYTTD Bridesmaids
