Therefore, ensure you’ve done your research. Be ready with a lot of options at hand. After all, there is an endless amount of dresses to choose from.

There is no wrong or right, there’s only “what works right.” However, judging what’s the best outfit for you may not be that easy. There is an endless list of things one has to keep in mind before choosing the right fit.

Therefore, it is very important that you pay attention to such tiny details. After all, you would want some great pictures for Instagram.
Why Are Light Blue Bridesmaid Dresses Trending?
The style of the outfit is often an important consideration. However, choosing the right colour is no less. There has never been a set or decided colour that bridesmaids choose from. However, you will often find light pastel shades or shades of beige being chosen. It does make sense though. Weddings are formal and holy ceremonies. You always tend to think of serene places and outfits when you think of a wedding.
Although, that trend is long gone. Today, people go for any shade they like. Be it red or green. Surprisingly, these colours look great too! However, the peace and calm that light shades bring are unmatched. Therefore, light blue bridesmaid dresses have been in trend for quite some time. Light blue as a colour is by itself serene. Light blue bridesmaid dresses are soothing to the eye. They symbolise trust and security. Two pillars are often needed to make a successful relationship.
Light blue is a colour which looks great with white. It is soft and will leave you with a smile. Therefore, it is one of those very few colours you can pick without thinking twice. Especially if it’s for a wedding!

FAQs:
When Should Bridesmaids Get Their Dresses?
Well, outfits for a wedding should always be bought a little in advance. If you are a bridesmaid, you should ensure you do so quite early. You should make sure to start looking for dresses at least five to six months before the wedding. This is because there are plenty of things one has to think of. One must decide if all are going with matching outfits. If so, reaching a mutual decision is a long and tiring process. You must also be able to find a dress that matches all your specifications within your budget. There should be enough time in your hand to get alterations and fittings done within time.
Who Gets Ready With The Bride?
Well, there is no established tradition as to who gets ready with the bride. It is upon the bride. Some brides love having music and champagne along with their bridal party while getting ready. On the other hand, some enjoy having the room completely to themselves. They don’t like any disturbance. So, the bride can get ready along with her bridesmaids or any close siblings. She may also get ready with her mother or mother-in-law (in case they are close). Therefore, the bride is free to invite anyone she holds dear to her to get ready along with her.
Who Should Walk The Mother Of The Bride Down The Aisle?
Well, being escorted down the aisle is a western tradition. The mother of the bride can walk down the aisle by herself but it is better if escorted. She could be accompanied by any groomsman. If not so, these traditions can be tweaked. She could be walked down the aisle by her son or her brother. In Jewish ceremonies, the bride’s mother and father walk along with her. One could do so as well. Therefore, there is no specific rule as such. A bride’s mother is the last person to be seated before the bridesmaids begin to walk down the aisle.
Does The Maid Of Honour Wear A Different Dress?
This is upon the bride and her maid of honour. Some brides already make certain decisions that they share with the squad. For instance, one bride might like her maid of honour to wear a completely different colour than the rest. On the other hand, One bride may want her maid of honour to wear a different shade. This is a choice. This is not a tradition. There have been a lot of times when the maid of honour is dressed the same as the rest. There have also been times that she stands out. Therefore, it is optional and depends on you.
Do Brides Pay For Bridesmaid Hair And Makeup?
Again, this is not part of any wedding tradition. Therefore, it is not necessary for the bride to cover your expenses at all. However, there are cases where brides like to pay for all this. Some brides may like to give these hair and makeup services to their squad. Although, this is not expected from her end. She may either provide you with an artist or you may have to find one on your own. Either way, the expense for both hair and makeup falls on your head. Therefore, do not rely on the bride because this is not traditional.
In Conclusion
Light blue bridesmaid dresses may look very plain but they look super elegant. The colour actually feels like soothing music. However simple and pale the colour may look, it makes the ceremony seem more sacred than it already is. That’s the beauty of this colour. Although, be careful while choosing it. Light blue as a colour does not shine through against a gloomy backdrop. For instance, you cannot expect to get pictures in a very pale blue dress against a grey sky. You should rather prefer to wear this colour during summer weddings. It is perfect for summer and spring weddings. The sun and light would really help your outfit glow brighter. The blue palette also sets in well with the wedding aesthetic. Therefore, think twice before making your outfit decisions.
