90’s Slip Dress

The ’90s are back! And so is the iconic ’90s slip dress. Your girls will look sleek with this figure-flattering classic dress silhouette. This bridesmaid dress style compliments a variety of body shapes and sizes as it glides through the body. They can customize their look with minimalist details like spaghetti straps and square necklines. Your bridesmaids will love re-wearing a clean and modern-styled satin charmeuse.

Neutrals

Gone are the days when the bridesmaids are wearing bright colors. One of the top 2022 bridesmaid dress trends is neutrals. Neutral colors such as ivory, taupe, beige, gray, cream, gold, and rose dominate the bridal party scene. These colors bring forth light, fresh, airy look that will surely match your maids’ beautiful faces.

Separates

This year, the wedding industry, in general, is leaning towards sustainability. This holds true with regards to bridesmaids’ dresses. Being able to re-wear a 2022 bridesmaid dress after a wedding is one way to do it. Thus, going with separates is a great way to re-wear multiple pieces and customize everyone’s looks.
It also allows your girls to mix and match skirts, necklines, and sleeves.

Ruffles

A very Bridgerton-influenced style, ruffles is the way to go for your girls this year as they get to have a fashion statement of their own. We can see the rise in whimsical details like ruffles and victorian-inspired styles in a 2022 bridesmaid dress. These often come in subtle shades like Veri Peri, the first Pantone color of the year, blushing nudes, and greens.

Mix, Not Match

It’s about time the solid, bright-colored bridesmaid dresses retire after years of seeing them down the aisle. One of this year’s favorites is the mix-not-match trend. It’s refreshing to see bridesmaids wearing different prints, patterns, and hues but with a cohesive look.

Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits are becoming popular not just with brides but also with bridal parties. With the jumpsuit trend, anything goes these days! It also goes the same with trouser suits and rompers. It’s so fashionable and chic that your girls will love wearing it over and over again after the wedding day.

Velvet

Weddings tend to have a more celebratory feel as we move toward 2022. And nothing looks so rich, elegant, and celebratory like velvet fabric. We’ve seen popularity with long, velvet bridesmaid dresses, which, by the way, is also a ’90s favorite. Your girls will love and look good in a luxe velvet dress, regardless of their body shape.

Midi Dress

Another option for a 2022 bridesmaid dress is a midi dress. If your bridesmaids aren’t into maxi, which might make them trip over while walking down the aisle, or reveal too much in a mini, then the midi dress is the best choice. Silhouettes that are just below the knee or at mid-calf are a little bit retro but modern at the same time.
