Are you planning a tiny, pop-up wedding? You may not want a huge wedding party, but you may have one or two close family members or friends who you want to stand by your side as you say “I do.”
For a clean, delicate look, many modern brides are falling in love with the all-white trend–meaning the bridesmaids wear white along with the bride. Especially if you’re planning a casual, nontraditional wedding, white bridesmaids dresses can be a classy addition to your romantic celebration!
Not sure if this is the trend for you? Take a look at some of the pros and cons of all-white bridesmaids dresses!
You Have a Lot of Creativity
When you indulge in white dresses for everyone, you have the freedom to play with different silhouettes. If you and your girls are going to rock the same color, you can get creative and play with texture, silhouette, and style.
Maybe your bridesmaids will have short dresses while you have long, or maybe they’ll have lace, textured fabric while you stick with something sleek and modern. You can even ask them to wear different shades of white to differentiate them from you, such as cream, ivory, or even pale yellow.
You’ll Lose Color and Brightness
For many brides, one of the most beautiful parts of a wedding–aside from celebrating your love–is the flowers. When you’re planning a romantic pop-up wedding, you may be looking for simple arrangements that make a subtle, but noticeable, statement. But if you go with all-white dresses, you may have too little color for your taste.
Depending on your theme, you can add color to white bridesmaids dresses by choosing bold, colorful blooms like sunflowers and peonies.
You’ll Freshen Things Up
Are you simple and sophisticated? If you love the bold, yet delicate, statement that white makes, all-white bridesmaids dresses can be a refreshingly simple look for your already-simplistic pop-up wedding. White is the perfect color for summer and a beautiful symbol of purity as you exchange vows and set the tone for your marriage.
You May Risk Losing the Limelight
Depending on the white dresses your bridesmaids wear, be careful they don’t look too similar to yours. By asking them to wear color instead, you can be more of a focal point in your wedding photography. However, if you’re planning a pop-up wedding, you may decide to skip bridesmaids altogether and focus solely on you and your future hubby!
