7 Bridal Parties That Will Make You Fall in Love With the White Bridesmaid Dresses Trend

White dresses used to be reserved solely for the bride–but not anymore. While it’s still taboo to wear snowy shades as a wedding guest, more and more brides are feeling the white bridesmaid dresses trend and outfitting their ladies in the classic color. The look is sleek, striking, and romantic–which is likely why celebs from Kim Kardashian West to Kate Middleton to Ashlee Simpson chose it for their wedding attendants (Kim did so twice).

Thinking white bridesmaid dresses might steal your bridal thunder? There are plenty of clever ways to ensure no one upstages you on your big day. Whether you want your best girls all in the same dress or rocking varied styles, the key is to  make sure their dresses contrast with your own. You can do so by choosing a fabric for your ‘maids that’s totally different from your gown (ie: sleek crepe or chiffon juxtaposes with your textured lace–or vice versa). Hemlines also make a world of difference–if your wedding dress is floor length, consider having your crew in short white bridesmaid dresses. Or opt for dresses with silhouettes, sleeves, and necklines that help distinguish your bridal dress from the group. If your gown has long sleeves and a high neck, spaghetti strap v-neck bridesmaid dresses in white will complement it–and guarantee you stand out. You get the idea.

Another great thing about ivory and white bridesmaid dresses is how you can make the trend work for any vibe. Whether you’re a boho bride or a glam kind of gal, there are bridal party options that fit your vibe–and with this classic hue it’s pretty much a guarantee you won’t regret your color choice years later. For inspiration that will have you strongly considering this look for your own nuptials, check out 7 IRL bridal parties that nailed the trend.
