Hello readers!
Maybe you’ve heard of Alta Moda’s sister shop, Lily & Iris? We’re a shop completely dedicated to the other women in the bridal party. From maids to mom and back again, we’ve got everything to make sure finding the other dresses for the wedding is as fun and easy as the bridal gown is sure to be!
Today, we’ve been asked to share with you, Alta Moda readers, a little bit about the exciting new trends and fun new looks in bridesmaid dresses for the coming year. So, without further ado, here’s what we’re seeing!
Low and open backs:
Whether formal and classic or fun and sassy, the open-backed dress will definitely be making a statement this year. We’re seeing it in everything from satin to silk to jersey, and we’re loving it in everything. There is nothing so classically sexy as a dramatic open back, and we can’t wait to see girls taking advantage of this stunning trend.



Draped fabrics:
Always a classic choice, but with some new twists in the coming year, soft, draped fabrics are being seen in some of our favorite styles. Amsale maids have introduced a brand new fabric to add to their already fabulous repertoire, with a soft, silky charmeuse, and we’ve fallen in love with their jersey line too! You have to feel these fabrics to believe them, and once you’ve put one on you aren’t going to want to take it off. How can you go wrong with a bridesmaid dress that both makes you look and feel fabulous?


Sleeves:
A trend that is especially close to our hearts here in Utah, we are seeing sleeves done in so many innovative and super stylish ways we can’t wait to see what the designers come up with next. From pleated raglan sleeves to draped shoulder caps, the options are constantly growing. Say goodbye to the “frumpy” cap sleeve, ladies, it may just be headed out for good.


Texture:
While we love a beautiful soft silk or taffeta gown, designers are wowing us this year with some amazing new fabrics and textures and we can’t wait to see more. New bridesmaid styles in pretty lace and textured satins are adding new dimension to classic color and simple silhouettes.


With so many new and exciting options in bridesmaid dresses, bridal parties are looking more and more stylish every day. And with Spring 2012 samples arriving in store every day, we simply can’t wait to show you these beautiful dresses!
