Each week, we highlight a bridal fashion designer and their latest works. Finding the right designer and THE dress, however, is not the only fashion choice to be made for a wedding. Next to the bride, the attire of her best friends is extremely important. Bridesmaid’s dresses are often dreaded by the ladies who will wear them, but with the right look and a figure-flattering style, you really could wear the dress again. Lisa Tudor, fashion stylist for New Orleans Bride Magazine, brought the pages in the Winter/Spring 2015 issue a stunning array of dresses to please any bridesmaid.
The first two looks would be perfect for summer. The light and airy hues bring a refreshing, beachy feeling great for an outdoor ceremony or reception.

The next group of stunning cobalt blue designs would look lovely for an evening wedding in the fall.
