Blossoming Color: Summer Bridesmaid Dress Trends from Designer Michael Shettel

With summer upon us, I find that it’s always refreshing to see a collection of bridesmaids in colors that are inspired by the warmth, heat, and charisma of the summer months.  Lights and Brights, as we call them in the Bridal Industry, are truly colors of summer.  Vivid Pinks, Bright Greens, and Yellows to match the rays of the sun, these colors surely bring to mind thoughts of weekend get-a-ways and long days of sunshine and happiness.

Soft and dusty pinks, blues, and calm shades of grey bring thoughts of quiet cool nights on the beach, garden brunches, and dreams of whimsical fantasy.

Whether Brights or Subtle colors, every Bride should choose her color palette from her own inspiration, and how she imagines her dream wedding to be… the options are endless!!!
