Allow personal style to make an appearance
To help make the statement about rewearing bridal attire true, allow the bridal party to select their own look based on provided guidelines. We highly recommend this approach. When each individual can select their own looks, everyone can wear something that will allow them feel comfortable. Ultimately this leads to more energy available to focus on fulfilling the supporting role for the day.

Color can be used in a variety of ways on a wedding day and the bridal party attire is a great place to continue the color story. There’s many techniques to incorporating color into the bridal party attire. For instance, it may be used to compliment or contrast other colors in the palette, as a form of symbolism, to add vibrancy to the day, or to further express personal style.
