I recently was invited to a wedding where the bride had chosen silver as her wedding theme color, and not surprisingly the bridesmaid were dressed in silver too. The dresses were very understated; you could even say they were too plain for a wedding. However, each bridesmaid was wearing a contrasting pair of silver strappy sandals, and adorned a beautiful subtle silver handbag, all of which looked gorgeous against the back drop of the dark silver bridesmaid dresses. What’s more, each of the bridesmaids had perfectly matching makeup with a kind of ‘Smokey-Eye’ effect that pulled the whole outfit together. It really did look sensational, giving the bridesmaids a sultry, yet highly chic and attractive look that everybody at the wedding commented on.
