Outfit concepts
Whatever the choice of the bridesmaid, one main rule applies to him: the dress for the witness for the wedding should be in harmony with the outfit of the bride and in no case should he draw attention to herself.
Harmony is expressed in the selection of color and style: nothing screaming bright, half-naked or completely contrary to the wedding dress.
The main task of the witness is to support her friend at the wedding. To be near, to solve minor and global troubles, to reassure or encourage her. In fact, the attire of the witness is a reflection of this role.
Classic
Win-win options are simple-cut dresses that go to girls of any shape and successfully complement the image of the bride. Dresses for a wedding witness should look good with the outfit of the bride - this is the main rule!
Classical dresses include a corset and a double pleated skirt.
And you can play with flowers of dresses, you can "sprinkle" a corset or skirt with beads, and add similar elements to the bride’s wedding dress. Then you get a very beautiful harmony in the common photos.
And you can dream up with details and, using the same classic version, make each wedding dress unique. Being a witness is not easy, but looking worthy is a prerequisite.
Due to just one detail, each girl looks different. Thus, a compromise is achieved between a certain uniformity of bridesmaids dresses and individuality in each outfit.
These flying spring dresses for a witness at a friend’s wedding look very tender and perfectly emphasize the heroine’s wedding outfit.
Speaking of diversity: you can play with both styles and color. Choose the same style, for example: for everyone, floor length, pastel colors, light flying fabric, classic style. And then each witness to make an outfit of her unique color and design of the neck and sleeves.

It turns out stylish, original and harmonious: free-cut dresses are the best suited for a summer wedding. It is also worth noting that all the girls have the same hair style and similar makeup. This is a very important detail, thanks to which even different dresses look like a single ensemble.
And the boldest of the classic options: an evening dress for the wedding of a witness. This is, by definition, an elegant and sexy bridesmaid dress, which ideally should not differ from the dresses of other witnesses, and very well combined with an even more vibrant and sexy wedding dress of the bride.

Dresses for witnesses at the wedding are as varied as the decorator has enough inspiration. And it depends only on the bride in what style her wedding will be.
Dress Trends 2018
And now to the fashionable trends of dresses for a witness for a wedding (+ photo) 2018!
The main trend: to maintain a uniform color tone. That is, it is not necessary to adhere to one color, you can vary the shades, say, from blue to blue. But it is important to dress all the girlfriends in the same tones, ideally transition colors, for example, through a gradient.
Another feature: variety through cut. Let one dress be flowing, another - magnificent, the third - in ruffles. This rule is especially applicable to situations when all girlfriends have different anatomical features: height, figure, volumes. In this case, you can create a successful outfit for each girl, emphasizing her advantages. Thanks to the uniform color tone, a harmonious and boring ensemble of girlfriends will turn out.
Among the many trends in the cut of bridesmaids dresses, several options can be distinguished, especially in demand in wedding salons.
Off Shoulder Dresses
A classic version of a dress for a wedding witness. It is hard to make a mistake choosing such an outfit for bridesmaids.
The idea is not new, but very elegant. Elongated sleeves falling from the shoulders, flowing lines, drapery - all this at the same time looks modest and chic, emphasizing the figure and giving the image of femininity.
"Flower" dresses
Simple and cute, flowing dresses to the floor will be the perfect choice for a simple cozy wedding and photo shoot in the bosom of nature.
Dresses with large beautiful flowers are suitable for summer and spring weddings. This is a great choice for those who do not want to be limited to one color. Dresses with flowers perfectly complement the snow-white outfit of the bride.
Dresses with Beads
But if you want something brighter and hotter, then the beads will come in handy.
When the bride has a princess wedding dress, it makes sense to put witnesses in dresses decorated with beads. Both long and short dresses, ethereal forms or soft fabrics of delicate shades are suitable.
Sequin dresses
Sparkles are great for elegant but vibrant weddings.
When simple fabrics are boring, you can add shine. Dresses with sparkles of deep tones will perfectly fit into autumn and winter weddings. Dressing your bridesmaids in "capricious" sparkles, you surround yourself with precious stones that emphasize, but not overshadow, your outfit.
A little more about fashion
Speaking of 2018, it is worth mentioning also multi-level frills. They look romantic, and in combination with a flirty neckline, for example, a V-shape or crossover shoulders, will be simply stunning.
Velvet is back! A little unexpected choice for a wedding, because with its rich material and languid lines that emphasize the female body, it gives an easy hint of drama. However, a wedding dress on a velvet background looks very rich and elegant.
Well, the last trend that is worth mentioning is multi-level chiffon with shiny ornament. Return to the 90s, the choice of rare brides so far. A very airy flying dress that looks a bit cosmic, so stylish. It will be remembered for a long time, more than once it will give an occasion to wear it, because it is suitable for almost any party.
About the dresses of witnesses
Some types of attire for witnesses are considered “dangerous”. You need to know about them and, if you still decide, understand how to implement this idea in life.
- Red color. Bright dresses of girlfriends automatically attract attention. Therefore, it is important to "put out the fire" with the cut. Example: the same silhouette of all the girlfriends, no cutouts or transparent fabrics, the hair is smoothly pulled back. It is better to resort to a strict cut and the same silhouette of all dresses. Thus, having “tamed” the red color, the bride gets a bright background, but not brighter than her own dress.
- Short dresses. An option that is almost never found at weddings, since the rite is, by definition, chaste. But there are exceptions. Here you need to consider the following nuances: simple tights, no stockings and patterns; not fitting style, not baggy, opaque fabrics. The bride’s dress in this case should also be short or slightly different in length (one way or the other). It can be spiced up with sparkles, beads, some accessories that will highlight the bride’s dress against the background of her friends.
- Pantsuit. Also a rare option, but found. If you already choose a suit, then tailored to the figure, stylish and only in combination with costumes of the bridesmaids.
These are the main nuances that you should be aware of when choosing a dress for a witness at a wedding. It should be beautiful and compatible. The rest is secondary.
