Flowers for bridesmaid dresses- Chicago

The wedding planning means a lot of work. Besides the things established for the reception the decorations the outfit is also a main thing. The bride is under pressure with her dress. But to this add the bridesmaid dresses, as she is the one to accomplish this task as well. Like the bride itself, the wedding gown must match with the wedding theme and style but also with the accessories. So it is when it comes about the maids of honor gowns.




Like the tradition requires the bridesmaid has to carry a bouquet as well. And so, the challenge is about choosing the flowers for the bridesmaid dresses. And this is really hard to do. Not only the color that should be fit in the decor and bridesmaid appearance, but the type of them as well.

First thing to take into consideration is the type of dress and here, depending on the wedding location. Taking the example of a Chicago wedding the dresses for the maids of honor should be of a formal style, sober and elegant. Why? Because this place is a scene of a modern world, with imposing buildings, a place that even through its name expresses a pretentious style: Chicago means “powerful”, “extraordinary”. So, long dresses are appropriate, those with accent on the details and design. Also, considering that this place is also called the “windy city” due to usually windy weather the outfit should include also a bolero or sleeves, gloves or covered back. Considering all these aspects, the flowers for bridesmaid dresses are callas or lilies. Why them? Because being so delicate flowers they match perfectly with this style.

Apart from this, to determine what flowers should the bridesmaids have as bouquet or as dresses accessories various aspects should be taken into consideration. The flowers come as a completion of the whole appearance. If the dresses are of a darker color the flowers should be the opposite, to make a contrast aimed to put value on the maids of honor appearance.

The reverse order is also indicated. So, in other words, depending on the wedding dresses colors the flowers are the opposite.Another reference is the season combine with the style of the dresses. For example, a summer wedding if it is to take place at the beach is about less formal dresses. So, choose seasonal flowers: roses, sunflower, tulips, lilies, with representative colors as well: orange, yellow, red. As you can see, the flowers that match with the bridesmaid dresses is a task that requires attention to details and aesthetically sense.

Combining different style with different colors can lead to a “cheesy” aspect, to a too decked out one, if the others aspects are not taken into consideration.
