Cheers to the Weekend

Happy Friday, lovelies! This is a beautiful day for marriage, thanks to the US Supreme Court’s ruling to make same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states. Today, love wins! This week’s Small Talk Big Day video from Wedding Paper Divas features Jenny Yoo’s tips for picking the ideal bridesmaid dress!

Don’t have time to watch? No problem! Here are some take-aways from the video:

• Decide on a color or theme – Jenny advocates for settling on a color or theme before picking out individual dresses. Making that decision will help set a cohesive tone for your bridal party.
• New in trends: Coordinating, not matching – Jenny loves mixing and matching different metallics for the bridal party.
• What about the flower girls? – This season Jenny’s toned down traditional over-the-top flower girl dresses for a look that’s modern, exciting and fresh.
• Most importantly, choose a look that will make everyone feel comfortable and beautiful.
