What to wear...Brights!

I spotted this photo of these fab bridesmaid dresses yesterday on Creative Montage FB page, and it inspired me to post about wearing brights.  This is such a gorgeous picture--eclectic group of pinks and coral to create not only a stunning photo but a wonderful example of how your bridesmaids all have individual personalities and styles that can come together in quite a beautiful showing!   Brights are everywhere this year, orange being the citrus forerunner, so you might as well take advantage of this fun trend while you can!  And don't be afraid to give your best girls choices--lay down some guidelines such as tones, fabrics, lengths of skirts and even a specific designer or pair of designers, and leave it to them to create a colorful array of pretty maids!  Oh and a quick note on the shoes:  go nude.  If you are being bold on top it's a perfect way to tone down the outfit and make your legs look long and lean!
