How To Coordinate Wedding Party Outfits

To make your wedding photographs as beautiful as possible, why not coordinate your bridal dress, bridesmaid dresses, and flower girl dresses?

Recently, supermodel Kate Moss wed rock musician Jamie Hince (of The Kills), and she wore an ivory, 1930’s-style Galliano couture wedding gown with metallic accents.

To coordinate her wedding party, Kate chose innocent white gowns for her bridesmaids and flower girls, along with laurels of flowers for their hair.

Although choosing white bridesmaids gowns isn’t a typical choice, it gave the wedding photos a dreamy, innocent quality.

Kate Moss wanted a decadent, Great Gatsby vibe for her nuptials, and she succeeded brilliantly…right down to her groom’s fitted, pale-blue tuxedo!

To find the right combinations for your wedding, we’ve put together some exciting wedding party ensembles that may give you some welcome wedding inspiration.

Golden Light…

Gold adds a touch of sunlit beauty to wedding party ensembles…from the bride’s stunning white wedding dress, to the bridesmaids evening dresses and the flower girl’s little frocks. If you love a touch of metallic glamor, coordinate your wedding party with combinations of cream, gold and white..

The stunning, show-stopping gown featured above is adorned with frothy tulle and luxurious golden embellishments and trimmings. To coordinate the wedding party look, consider mimicking Kate Moss’ palette by dressing your bridesmaids in cream-coloured cheap bridesmaid dresses…

Of course, the perfect finishing touch is a sweet flower girl dress in a matching metallic. If you love gold, cream and white, you might enjoy this pretty and fun flower girl choice:

Pink Ladies…

A rosy glow is always flattering…for years, Old Hollywood glamor queens changed their own boudoir light bulbs from white to pink, knowing that the pink bulbs made them look fresher and younger. A little touch of pink adds feminine charm to almost any woman’s look, and this popular color can also work for a wedding party look that is picture perfect…

The gorgeous gown shown above will make you feel like a goddess – elegant draping around the torso leads to stunning layers of the palest rose-pink…perfect for any skin tone, fashionable wedding dresses like this one are meant to be treasured for a lifetime…

To dress your bridesmaids, select pretty pink dresses that blend beautifully with your own wedding gown’s palette…

Of course, little girls need to feel gorgeous, too, so treat them to a touch of petal-pink beauty that shows off their rosy cheeks and fresh faces…

Mimic Hot Celebrity Style On Your Wedding Day

Angelina Jolie

Outrageously gorgeous, bold and spirited, Angelina Jolie is a lightning rod for controversy; however, she also evokes Old Hollywood glamor that (despite her array of edgy tattoos) always feels timeless.

Angelina’s style is classic – if you’ve seen her in her street clothes in paparazzi shots, you’ll know she favors skirts to the knee, fitted trousers, sweater sets, boots and simple pumps, and she keeps accessories to a minimum. However, her beautiful chestnut hair is always perfect (whether worn up or down), and her makeup is consistently flawless.

At night, on the red carpet, Angie unleashes her undeniable sex appeal with a formitting evening dress that tends to display a certain simplicity. With lips and eyes like Angelina Jolie’s, a lot of ruffles or jewels are not necessary, so she keeps it classic, with a touch of postmodern minimalism.

To get the Angelina Jolie look on your wedding day, choose a sophisticated gown, such as the stunning bridal dress shown above, and wear your hair in soft, controlled waves – after all, Angelina rarely goes in for fussy updos.

Makeup should be subtle, but still dramatic – Angelina always does a cat-eye look by lining her upper eyelid in black eyeliner and extending the line upward, for a winged effect. However, she doesn’t apply eye makeup to her lower lashes. This glam look makes the most of almond-shaped eyes, and it’s very elegant. Angie plays down her famous, full pout with earth-toned, beige-y lipstick – however, once in a while, she’ll choose a bold crimson or orange-red lip color that stands out beautifully against her pale olive skin tone.

Once you’ve found the wedding dress of your dreams, high heels and gorgeous bridal rings will be all you need to capture this hot celebrity look. Be sure to look for wedding dress alterations if you need them, as a perfect fit is really important for this high-end look.

Taylor Swift

Innocence and all-American wholesomeness define the style of natural beauty (and Cover Girl spokesmodel) Taylor Swift. This young singer-songwriter is known for her delicate features, alabaster skin, and curly blond tresses. Lately, Taylor’s been appearing in more grown-up hair and makeup, but her lean, elegant build and angelic face still lend a fresh, feminine, and youthful look to whatever she puts on.

To get a Taylor Swift-style wedding look, go for a deep side part of lush curls, and keep your makeup rosy, dewy, and girly. Flushed cheeks, rose-pink lips, and eyes lined in a little smoky charcoal eyeliner or eyeshadow will work perfectly for this look – avoid earth tones if you also have pale skin, like Taylor’s. Use shimmer powder on the decolletage and arms to add a “stardust” effect that is dazzling under bright lights.

Perfect wedding dresses that mimic the Taylor Swift look include the pretty corseted style shown above – always choose pure white, rather than cream, to highlight the fairytale beauty of this sort of look…

Zooey Deschanel

Indie “It” girl Zooey Deschanel is an actress with a distinctive hipster- vintage look and a love of girly dresses with a Fifties vibe. Her thick, dark mane and bright blue eyes have made her a natural choice for ingénue roles in film and television. Married to a member of alt-rock band Death Cab For Cutie, Zooey is also starring in a new television series, New Girl, this fall…

To get Zooey’s cool retro look, choose a knee-length wedding dress that nips in at the waist – accessorize with thick bangs, a pretty headband, and high heels. Red lips will work well, if you’re pale with dark hair, like Zooey. Whatever makeup you choose, keep it very light and natural, except for the lips, which should contrast with your skin and hair.

Ballerina Beauty For Your Wedding Day

Recently, director Darren Aronofsky’s dramatic film, Black Swan (starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis) highlighted the glamorous, yet grueling, lives of ballerinas. The costumes created for Black Swan played up the delicate beauty of the waifish lead actresses, who appeared in embellished tutus with fitted bodices and full skirts.

While the movie was dark and disturbing, the fashions of the ballet world are anything but…in fact, these classic and romantic designs are made to enhance the beautiful lines of a woman’s body.

Beauty Tips For The Ballerina Look

To capture the essence of ballerina beauty on your wedding day, wear your hair in a pretty chignon or sleek updo, and do a dramatic eye with lots of eyeliner, mascara, and eye shadow. Brows should be darkened with eyeshadow or pencil, and lips should be neutral, pale pink, or crimson (with a touch of gloss). This makeup and hair look will gel beautifully with fashionable wedding dresses that feature ballet-inspired design elements.

Cheeks should not be too flushed; foundation should always match the skin perfectly, and be finished with a dusting of translucent powder (and a touch of highlighting shimmer, high on the cheekbones and the browbone).

This elegant look is perfect for a lean build, but it can also be stunning on a curvier body, since most ballerina-inspired wedding dresses balance the body with their nipped-in waistlines and full, frothy skirts…

For Dramatic Eyes, try Dior 5-Colour Designer All-In-One Artistry Palette – Smoky
Design.

For shimmer and sparkle, apply Benefit Moonbeam highlighter to the top of the cheekbones, the browbone, and the decolletage.

To mimic Portman’s Black Swan look, choose a sheer wash of high-quality ruby lipstick, such as Guerlain’s Rouge G in Garconne.

Graceful Gowns To Consider…

Here are some lovely bridal gowns that will help you capture the spirit of ballerina beauty as you walk down the aisle…

Delicate Straps Define The Ballerina Look

Ballerina looks don’t have to feature endless layers of tulle – in fact, they can be quite subtle. The bridal dress shown above gets its ballerina beauty from its delicate shoulder straps, and its form-fitting lace-and-satin bodice.

Designed to highlight the beauty of a woman’s neck and shoulders, this stunning wedding dress is really the height of elegance. Comfortable, yet totally glamorous, this dress needs little extra adornment. A strong lip, a sleek hairstyle, and drop earrings will be more than enough to accessorize this feminine, graceful design…

Poetry In Motion…

The right bridal gown will make you feel more confident – once you put in on, you’ll feel more beautiful and more alluring. The wedding dress shown above is a lovely example of ballerina style – the pretty skirt, with its careful pleating and rich, lustrous fabric, is designed to move with you.

If you’re planning a first dance with your new groom, you’ll love the way this dress highlights your gracefulness. A sparkly headpiece will finish the look perfectly…

Frothy Perfection…

For daring, unforgettable style that makes you feel like a prima ballerina, shine in a frothy confection adorned with a sparkling, silvery dusting of crystals, and sheer, light-as-air layers of snow-white chiffon. This gown is really the ultimate in decadence, and it indulges a women’s fantasies of perfect glamour on her wedding day.

To accessorize, balance the full skirt with high heels in shimmery silver, and add a choker necklace and elegant earrings. Sexy and dramatic, this white wedding dress is a fairytale come true…

Edgier Wedding Looks For Brides-To-Be

Some brides-to-be aren’t interested in the tried-and-true…they’re looking for edgier fashion that really reflects their personal style. If you love alternative rock music, funky home décor and art, and a more offbeat sense of style, you’ll appreciate the cool new wedding dresses we’re showcasing here.

These white bridal gowns are perfect for brides-to-be who want to be themselves as they walk down the aisle; these gowns can be accessorized with strong makeup, creative hairstyles, and wild shoes!

While these bridal dress styles may not fit the traditional “princess” mold, they will be perfect for the edgier bride-to-be!

Channel Katy Perry’s Retro-Glam Look On Your Wedding Day

Celebs, such as pop singer Katy Perry, wear wild outfits with a “costume” vibe – in the case of Katy Perry, her personality (and persona) are strong enough to carry off tons of embellishments, body-conscious bustiers, and fabulous metallic accents.

The wedding dress shown above would be perfect for Katy Perry, who recently wed British actor/comedian Russell Brand; the silver-and-white bustier design elements on this high-style bridal dress are certainly not for the meek or tame! Gowns like these are meant for confident women, who naturally give off bubbly, playful energy; at the same time, they are very seductive frocks that look amazing in wedding photos…

If you love to be the center of attention, and to push the envelope with edgy style that has a distinct vintage feel, you’ll adore this form-fitting, glamorous bridal gown design.

This gown plays up curves, by drawing the eye to the decollétage and throat – it also lights up an already-radiant bride-to-be’s complexion with tons of sparkly, shimmering appliqués.

To get the Katy Perry look on your wedding day, choose crimson lipstick (Loreal’s Drumbeat Red is an elegant, true red) or fuschia lipcolor, and play up the eyes with black liquid eyeliner along the top lashes. For a playful retro hairstyle look, add a headband with a bow, or a glam barrette embellished with rhinestones or other faux-gemstones…

Display Alternative Elegance With A Unique New Wedding Dress Silhouette

wedding gown

Show off an edgy new type of wedding day look by embracing cutting-edge design that veers off the beaten path…the gown shown above is romantic, yet unusual, and it really suits that type of girl who’d rather wear Doc Martens than Manolo Blahniks. If you’re interested in flattering your figure and wearing traditional white, while also reflecting your own unique sense of style, this could be the bridal dress you’ve been waiting for. When you’re shopping for dresses for wedding, always consider edgier styles that feel really embrace your aesthetic.

This gown shows the shoulders, and features exquisite tailoring through the midriff; a straight satin skirt flows past the thighs, then erupts into romantic waves of filmy tulle, trimmed in pure white, scalloped lace. Ideal for a leaner, more boyish build, this gown adds curves while still retaining a sleek, elegant, and postmodern look. Accessories should be kept minimal – a strong hairstyle and ethereal makeup (such as smokey gray and silver eyeshadows, and peaches-and-cream blush) will be all you need to rock this edgy look.

Edgy Can Be Elegant When You Know How To Accessorize The Look

Do you love the classic looks sported by fashion icons, such as the late Jackie Kennedy Onassis, or the notorious Duchess of Windsor? If you do, you’re not alone – many women long for a touch of this clean, elegant glamour in their own wedding dresses. These fashion icons were very unique during their lifetimes – instead of copying others, they made their own style, simply by choosing fashions that flattered their strong facial features and body types.

You can get the same timeless elegance, with a touch of edgy sexiness, by choosing the wedding gown shown above. It is literally sheer elegance, and it’s devastatingly beautiful! Accessorize this amazing gown and sheer jacket with a wavy bob, and elegant jewelry, such as long, beaded necklaces or ropes of pearls. Add a little hat with a veil if you’re feeling daring. Shoes should be elegant as well – if you’re tall, wear satin flats; for petite brides, satin high heels with very little embellishment will be perfect.
