Top 2022 Wedding Party Color Trends for Bridesmaids and Groomsmen

When you are on the first steps of wedding planning, it is easy to get overwhelmed with the hundreds of options available online and, at the same time, feel like you are missing local alternatives that might be perfect for you. If you are looking for a flattering and trendy color for your bridesmaids and groomsmen attires, you have come to the right place because here at Bridal Boutiques, we have all the upcoming 2022 wedding party color trends plus a directory to find amazing local shops where you can go and see the colors, styles, and fabrics with your own eyes.

Light Blue

The perfect match for spring, summer, or beach weddings. Your bridesmaids and groomsman will look flawless and stylish in a light blue shade. Light blue works amazingly with ivory and green; you can incorporate the color to your theme and find unique combinations with shades of yellow or natural materials like rattan and wood.

Pastels 

When you close your eyes and imagine your wedding photos do you see a pastel tone all over? Perhaps soft blues or different shades of pink, even a peach tone. Pastels work perfectly for spring weddings with outdoorsy locations and daytime ceremonies. And combined with metallic details, you can easily work it out for an evening reception. Bridesmaids and groomsmen look amazing if hosting a beach wedding or a coastal destination wedding. 

Earth Tones 

Are you over the classic romantic pinks and whites for weddings? If looking for an attractive and bold alternative for your amazing squad, well, look no further. Earthy tones will be trending all 2022, with shades of terracotta, mustard yellow, rusty orange, nude, beige, and dusty rose. They work amazingly for summer and autumn weddings, with natural elements like wooden tables or chairs and natural fabrics.

Jewel Tones 

If your plans are for late autumn or winter, these are the right colors for your wedding. Jewel tones are deep, rich, and beautiful, with ruby red, emerald green, deep oranges, and dark blues. You could choose one or a combination of them to impress your guests with a colorful palette. They go great with rusty gold, silver, and other metallic elements.

Greens 

And if you are not a fan of bold colors but want to skip the classic ivory or blush, green is the way to go. You can find the perfect shade of green or choose a couple of them to have depth in your photos. Green works amazingly with other colors if you wish to add a hint to your décor or bridesmaids and groomsman attires like a ribbon, a handkerchief, or floral details like a bouquet and boutonniere.

Now that you know the top 2022 wedding party color trends, it is time to get your group together and head to a local store to shop for the perfect attire. Some of the perks of visiting your local bridal salon instead of buying online are trying on the different options and making sure the color you envision is the same as you are buying. There is nothing like seeing, touching, and trying on a piece of clothing so start browsing our directory and find a store near you.

Testimonials

Emily was amazing! She helped make my wedding dreams come true. The atmosphere was great all the staff was so helpful and friendly. I couldn’t recommend Norman’s enough! – Kyla
Wow I can’t rave enough about this place! Everyone was so incredibly kind and helpful but Katie B. assisted us during both appointments and helped us SOO much, she truly went way above and beyond! Not only was she both professional and personable, she was incredibly knowledgeable, and flexible with our schedules. She offered us advice, tips, and other ways to add unique designs and tweaks until the dress was absolutely perfect!! We had went to 4 other bridal shops before Normans, and their knowledge about bridal dresses is incomparable to any other store or boutique we’ve visited. The professionalism is unmatched, the store is stunning, the employees are friendly, and there’s a huge variety. THANK YOU SO MUCH KATIE B YOU ROCK!!!! – Madison
Patty was my stylist and she was very helpful. She only pulled dresses in my price range and ones that were in my size. She quickly was able to find dresses I really liked even though I came in not totally sure what I wanted exactly. Patty helped me find the perfect dress! She put me in multiple different veils and helped me find one that went along and put it aside for me. The dress itself makes me feel very glamorous and beautiful and it fit like a glove and I’ll need minimal alterations. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would recommend Normans and seeing Patty as a stylist! – Alex

How to Fulfill Those Major Fall Wedding Vibes 2021

August 9, 2021 by An Ion Creative Leave a Comment

Ok, so we know it’s only the beginning of August. But as a new season approaches this year, we are really looking forward to fall. So we decided to dedicate this blog post to all things autumnal. From rich-hued fall-inspired colors to pumpkins, snuggly blankets, and natural elements we’ve got everything you need for your fall wedding feels for 2021.

Falling In Love With Fall Touches

For your florals, think pheasant feathers, eucalyptus, pampas grasses, and dried flowers. Load your sweets table with yummy things like pumpkin pies, s’mores, and candied apples. Transport your wedding into a welcoming fall wonderland using some of the ideas below!

Consider a chunky wood arch draped with copper fabric and swags of floral arrangements to set the stage for your special day. A few lanterns filled with candles at the base will add a layer of romance.

And for another great idea for a backdrop, use a bunch of leaf-laden branches to form a picturesque arch. This one is perched atop two wooden planters overflowing with lovely flowers and greenery.

Using beautiful seasonal natural elements for your decor will delight your guests. Wood, branches, leaves, and flowers will deliver those fall feels every time.

If your reception is outdoors, position the tables so every guest can experience the beauty of your venue. Tall vases filled with fall branches are absolutely glorious.

Elevate your tablescape by decorating the table AND the ceiling above it. This spectacular hanging arrangement uses leaves, roses, and hanging glass candle orbs. It beautifully echoes the candlelit, floral adorned table below. Together they create an amazing wow moment.

Another way to incorporate the season is by stringing feathers, orange ribbon and other bits and bobs on twine to create a boho garland. Paper feather cutouts make super cute labels for the deserts.

If you’re hosting an outdoor wedding during a chilly time of year, provide a stack of comfy, cozy blankets for your guests. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

The colors of fall are so pretty!

Have your photographer capture you in fall-inspired ways to best remember your wedding day.

Compliment your orange and brown color palette with a pop of brightness. Here, they’ve used a touch of teal to accentuate the fall color story.

Pumpkins are a great way to incorporate fall feelings. And, pumpkins can be painted any color your heart desires. Sprigs of fragrant greenery tied with twine make the nicest napkin toppers, too.

If you want to go all out for fall, we suggest this AH-mazing flower wall.  What a romantic setting for the bride and groom’s table! And all those vintage brass candlesticks and white candles don’t hurt the vibe either!

The most important part of the day, though, is the love you feel for one another. Even if it just the two of you in front of one glorious tree.

We think fall is the perfect time to vow your forever to someone. It’s a season full of change, growth, and renewal. And, it’s beautiful! There’s a very good reason why fall has become one of the most popular seasons for nuptials: the nice weather allows for the prettiest outdoor events. So if you’ve decided to do a fall wedding, pick a September, October, or November date. And scroll on to see more autumn wedding inspiration…

Lilac Wedding Palette, So Romantic For Spring 2021

March 18, 2021 by An Ion Creative Leave a Comment

Lilac Wedding Palette, So Romantic for Spring 2021

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 59C8D482-4002-43F3-87A2-37CC65EBD462.jpeg
We are loving a lilac aesthetic lately. To us, this sun-washed light purple hue totally delivers dreamy, romantic vibes. And we think this color paired with other soft pastels is a palette perfectly suited for spring weddings in 2021.
This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 43E5A648-3B99-43F4-AF50-5F33073D780E.jpeg
And, if you decide on this stunning soft violet color for your day we also highly encourage you to incorporate lilac flowers. Because, lilacs are not only gorgeous but are also fragrant, edible, and medicinal. In addition, lilacs symbolize love. So lilacs are absolutely perfect for a day celebrating that very subject!

If you are sold on using lovely lilac (and lilacs) for your wedding day, we invite you to read on for lots of inspiration. We’ve sourced loads of lilac-inspired ideas from flowers and decor to refreshments and favors.

“The spring is fresh and fearless
And every leaf is new,
The world is brimmed with moonlight,
The lilac brimmed with dew.

Here in the moving shadows
I catch my breath and sing –
My heart is fresh and fearless
And over-brimmed with spring.”
