Love the metallic trend in gowns but not quite sure you’re willing to commit to solid gold bridesmaids dresses? We get it. Not everyone looks good in figure hugging sequins, and unless your wedding is really formal, those metallic gold and rose gold sheath styles are not really appropriate. And let’s face it, no bride wants her bridesmaids to out shine her on her big day no matter how much she loves the look.
There is a way to embrace the trend without fully committing. Adding touches of gold with belts and jewelry is simple and helps add sparkle to any bridesmaid ensemble, but for real impact, look for styles that incorporate antique gold in their design.
Darker in tone and without the bold shine of a standard metallic, antique gold offers brides some sparkle and glamour without stealing the spotlight. The metallic element of antique gold is strong enough for the most glam and formal affair, but it adds just the right touch of elegance to an outdoor event and works well in both a vintage and rustic setting.
