Gone are the days when being a bridesmaid meant you had to dress up in a hideous outfit that didn't suit you, looked old fashioned, was a dodgy colour or even all three of these! Here at The Harrogate Wedding Lounge we offer two modern, fresh and contemporary collections with lots of individual style and colour choices meaning all of your bridal party can feel comfortable and look amazing at the same time. We also have a great collection of Prom dresses for that all important occasion, weather you want to be on trend or stand out from the crowd we are sure to have something for you! Here are our top 3 tips for brides on bridesmaid dress shopping and ideas to make everyone feel comfortable:
1) Let them be individual - not for everyone we appreciate but depending on the formality of your wedding why not let your bridesmaids express their individual style. You can dictate the colour and material and they can choose their own style. Or you can even be really daring and allow them to pick their own dress and all be completely different! The Ronald Joyce collection offers in excess of 60 styles in 4 different fabrics and over 50 different colours, so if you choose what colour you want and they all choose their own dress everyone's happy.
2) Straps and Wraps - Not all dresses have straps but most can either come with them as an option or we can make so for you from extra material. All of our Ronald Joyce and MGNY dresses come with optional shoes string straps if they are required and they all come with a wrap in the same material ideal for covering the shoulders during a church ceremony or for the photos on a nippy day.
3) Consider buying something they can wear again - There are numerous reasons this is a good idea. For budget savvy brides if you would like your bridesmaids to contribute to the cost of their outfit this is a fair compromise. We have some fantastic Prom style dresses in the MGNY collection and in the Prom Range which would double up fabulously as evening/party wear and would be great for days out at the races etc.
The Ronald Joyce bridesmaid collection is clearly different to many others in the market and offers brides and maids the option of a more contemporary look. Their collection is body conscious and sexy whilst still retaining a ladylike evening wear feel.
The dresses are very versatile and can be worn for many occasions. Modern Trends and Intricate Beading compliment vibrant colours and muted tones in taffeta, satin, chiffon and organza. A small collection of flower girls dresses complement the adults. Sizes available are UK 6 - 24
Your school prom is probably the most important social occasion you will attend throughout your school life, so finding THE dress is and important decision.
