One of the biggest discoveries at any wedding is the bridesmaids colour, right?
We love the anticipation of what the bride will have chosen, with plenty of discussion happening when guests arrive at the ceremony!
If you’re wondering what colours and styles will be popular for 2025 bridesmaids, wonder no more, today we have inspiration and info from the inside as two fabulous bridal boutiques share their trend predictions for the year ahead…
Angelo Bridal, Dublin
“Our brides are loving satin and shiny fabrics in 2025 as well as the ever-popular chiffon. For Spring and summer, lighter shades of pink, green and blue are very popular. Champagne is increasing in popularity for summer and autumn. For autumn and winter, rust toned and terracotta dresses, dark greens and deep reds still dominate this year’s fashions with navy blue and deep purple tones remaining popular as well.
We are seeing a lot of demand for ‘mix and match’ styles where brides will choose one colour and the bridesmaids choose their style or where the bride chooses a particular colour palette and lets the bridesmaids choose any dress within that colour scheme.
For summer and destination weddings we are seeing lots of demand for dresses with slits as they help to keep you cool. Bridesmaids are also loving the pockets found in some of the dresses in our collection.”
Presley Blue Boutique, Dublin
***Styles:** For the 2025 Bridesmaid Dress scene, expect simplicity, high-quality fabrics, and clean cuts reminiscent of the Jackie Onassis-Kennedy era.
**Fabrics:** Gowns will be crafted from luxurious materials that can be upcycled later, embracing a no-fast-fashion approach. We will see a lot of excellent-quality satins and crepe fabrics, adorned with pearl buttons and some very large bows!
**Colours:** The New Neutral shades are still in vogue. Expect a softer palette that includes soft sage, Champagne, Taupe, Gold, as well as monochrome options. This simplicity allows the focus to remain on the couple and their perfect wedding day.
We will also see variations in the shades worn by the bridal party, allowing each bridesmaid or groomsmaid to confidently express her personality through her chosen gown style while maintaining a cohesive colour scheme.
Will we see smaller bridal parties? I believe we will. The bride who desires top-quality bridesmaid gowns will invest in statement pieces, ensuring that her bridesmaids look and feel exceptional.
