In an interview with SI&EM Couture, a celebrated Wedded Week partner, we dive into the heart of this experience, uncovering what bridesmaids can expect during their dress fittings and exploring the latest trends captivating the bridal world. SI&EM Couture, renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and fashion-forward designs, offers an insider’s perspective on making this journey as seamless and memorable as possible.
At a bridesmaid dress fitting, there are several key things to anticipate, as explained by Caitlin Hayek of SI&EM Couture. “First thing to expect in a bridesmaids dress fitting, is each appointment can go for 25mins-45 mins per person depending on the design.”
To ensure the best fit, bridesmaids will need to stand in their chosen dress and shoes while adjustments are made. It’s crucial that they “wear the exact undergarments that she plans on wearing the day of the wedding – This includes any form of shapewear.”
The choice of bra is also important, as it can influence the fitting of the dress. Caitlin advises to “bring in a bra that you like or have a few options for comfort if you plan on wearing it on that day.” This helps the seamstress determine the appropriate cup size and shape for potential sew-in options.
Additionally, the height of the shoes worn on the wedding day needs to be considered during the fitting to assess the need for hem adjustments or additional length.
Caitlin also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive atmosphere, especially if the bride is present. “Most importantly, if the bride is present at the fitting, keep things positive, even if you’re not madly in love with the style the bride has picked out. Keep an open mind and be flexible with your suggestions.
In the end, it’s the bride’s big day so what she says goes and all is approved by her.” This advice from SI&EM Couture highlights the significance of support and flexibility during the fitting process, ensuring a smooth journey to the wedding day.
Caitlin shares her current adoration for trends that make the bridesmaid ensemble truly pop. “At the moment, I’m loving the ‘statement’ bridesmaids dresses, where the bride opts for a higher end fabric and intricate silhouette, that make their girls stand out a bit more than the simple slip dress.” This approach not only elevates the look of the entire bridal party but also sets them apart from the rest of the attendees, effectively setting the tone for the celebration.
Caitlin’s preference extends to personalizing the bridesmaid experience: “I also love when each bridesmaid has a different neckline, same skirt and all using the same fabric.” She acknowledges the diversity in body shapes within a bridal party, understanding that it can be challenging to find one style that compliments everyone.
By varying the necklines, “having different necklines allow each bridesmaid to feel comfortable in their own dress,” Caitlin emphasizes the importance of ensuring each bridesmaid feels confident and comfortable, showcasing the versatility and thoughtful consideration behind current bridesmaid dress trends.
