Everyone has that corner in their closet where bridesmaid dresses go to collect dust after a one-time wear. You know the type: overly formal, made of shiny satin, and always in a dull pastel color with a maxi length that makes them impractical for anything other than standing up in a wedding party.
That's why we're thrilled to highlight the new wave of brides dresses: more personalized, more contemporary, and most importantly, reusable. As brides-to-be opt for less uniform options for their special day, the choices become a lot more attractive — and the 2023 bridesmaid trends reflect that, with classic black, tasteful cutouts, mismatched pairings, and even jumpsuits that can double as bridesmaid dresses you'll actually wear again.
We've gathered 10 non-traditional bridesmaid dresses that are worth holding onto for future occasions, whether it's a matrimony-themed mini or a stunning garden party dress. From silky slip dresses that can be paired with a leather moto jacket to create an edgier look, these dresses are both stylish and practical. So don't hesitate to forward them to the bride-to-be as she searches for the perfect dresses for her wedding party.
