: The Engaged Team shares some of our favorite looks that local brides and bridesmaids have been rocking lately.
1. Bridal Gowns: Dresses with Pops of Color
Whiteâs not your color? Then donât fret: colorful frocks are popping up more and more in modern-day weddings. Weâve noticed everything from subtle shades (like Nicoleâs lilac tulle skirt shown above) to brides in blue from head to heel. Donât be afraid to âpaintâ that gorgeous canvas!
2. Bridal Gowns: Simple, Modest Dresses
On the opposite end of the spectrum, weâve also noticed that many local brides seem to be taking a note from Meghan Markle and going with a more understated-yet-supremely-elegant look. (Or perhaps the new duchess took a note from them? Victoria, seen above, did wed at Newportâs Cliffside Inn a few months prior to the royal wedding!)
3. Bridal Shoes: Peekaboo Hues
While brides have been using their kicks as their âsomething blueâ for a while now, weâve recently been seeing other colors make their way into the bridal shoe scene. Just take a gander at Adrianâs vibrant red Badgley Mischka (the industryâs most popular wedding shoe designer, it seems) pumps.
4. Bridal Shoes: All that Glitters is Gold
Or, it does in the case of local bridal shoe trends, at least. Weâve seen sparkly gold pairs make dazzling appearances at Rhode Island weddings of all themes, shapes and sizes, including the stunning wedges above and the classy open-toed heels below.
5. Bridesmaid Gowns: Metallics and Texture
We used to ogle over this glitz and glam aesthetic mostly while perusing New Yearâs Eve wedding photos, but weâre delighted to say itâs making its way into other seasons, as well. In fact, Alanaâs girls (above) proudly rocked some sparkly gold dresses at her Glen Manor House nuptials last June (check out her wedding planning journey here!).
6. Bridesmaid Gowns: Mismatched Colors and Prints
The twist? Lately weâve been seeing more patterns (especially florals), thrown into the mix, too. Some girls stick strictly to the palette in question (see Pinarâs bride tribe above) while others go more off books and bold (like Sashaâs âmaids below).
