Bridesmaid dresses are a tricky one. There’s a delicate balance between wanting them to look gorgeous, and not wanting them to upstage you on your big day. Here’s some good news: You can get both. The latest trends for bridesmaids are absolutely stunning, but not at all overpowering and will complement your bridal party perfectly. Your bridesmaids will feel great and love you for it. Here are some non-traditional outfits that are stylish, classy and sweet.
The two-piece
Two pieces can be just as beautiful and formal as you want them to be. Long skirts with halter tops are very in, especially loose fitting pieces that have a soft, flowing effect. Opt for a darker colour at the bottom and a light colour at the top. The top can be either tucked in or not. Lace is popular, and will fit in nicely if you have lace in your own wedding dress.
The embroidered dress
Embroidery is one of those things that used to be old-fashioned, then everybody realised how beautiful it is and brought it back big time. It has a feminine touch and goes well with pastel colours. Florals are always a favourite, but it doesn’t have to bind you. We’re loving this blue mullet dress with netted under layers.
The tiered dress
Layers are good on everyone if you do them right. Tiered dresses are super fun and work well with short or midi dresses. It has a fashionable vibe and depending on the material you opt for, can be elegant or playful.
Remember, it’s your day and your bridesmaids should make your day more beautiful, not take the attention off your dress. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be stunning too!

You might think that a wedding planner wouldn’t want to do the work of planning his/her own wedding, since that’s what they do for a living. But actually,…
The entertainment world is shocked after an Instagram post by famous rap artist Nicki Minaj hinted at a secret wedding. Minaj has been dating rapper Kenneth Petty for almost a year now and fans are going crazy over this surprising post showing hats which read “bride” and “groom” and mugs that read “Mr.” and “Mrs.”
The caption, dated yesterday, read “Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10.21.19”, and led viewers to assume that the two recently got legally married. Several celebrities commented on the Minaj’s post, offering their congratulations.
However, some are wary about the post, not wanting to get excited too soon. The singer never actually officially confirmed the marriage, and some might argue that Minaj, who is known for flamboyant fashion statements, would never get married without a huge ceremony and an outfit to match.
Nicki reportedly told Queen Radio in August that they will be married, but that “I have to work on my album and I have a lot to focus on that I don’t want to do the big wedding now. We’ll do the big wedding later.”

Recent wedding trends have focused on dramatic, colourful and opulent finishes. However, it is not for everyone. Many couples are drawn to simplistic finishes. You don’t always need…
World-famous tennis player Rafael Nadal got hitched this weekend and his bride followed what seems to be the latest trend among the rich and royal: She wore two wedding dresses.
The sport star’s girlfriend of 14 years, Mery Perello, looked absolutely gorgeous in a long sleeved gown designed by Rosa Clara for their ceremony. Her second dress (by the same designer), supposedly worn to the reception, strongly resembles the halter neck worn by the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle to her own reception.
The couple was married on the Spanish island of Majorca this past weekend. As well as images of the first wedding dress, a sketch of the second dress was released. The first dress had an intricate lace bodice, and Clara described to Hello! that is was “made of beautiful Art Deco-inspired French lace with delicate patterning, flower motifs and microbeading on the meticulously hand-embroidered fabric. The ballgown-style skirt, made of silk crepe, featured a weightless detachable train.”

The second dress was just as elegant but more form-fitting and had an open back. It also featured embellishments all over, giving a sultry, glamorous look.
The wedding venue was no less exquisite than the dresses, being held at a 17th-century fortress known as La Fortaleza. Surrounded by ocean views, it served as both the ceremony and reception venue. It’s obviously perfect for pictures, and we can’t wait until the official photos are released.
