Silk dresses are popular for any occasion, so why not outfit your bridesmaids in what's arguably one of the most-loved fabrics? What makes silk truly great it its liquid-like appearance—dresses made from the fabric simply exude luxury, helping your nearest and dearest to shine on the big day (and in every single wedding photo). It works for most events but feels especially at home at a black-tie affair.
If you want a total classic, choose a silk slip dress in your favorite color. Your 'maids can dress their looks up with fun jewelry and elegant hairstyles, or they can let the streamlined silhouette shine on its own. But if you're not a fan of this traditional shape, know that there's more to silk attire than just that. You can opt for the ultimate in sophistication—a billowing silk sheath with a plunging neckline and trailing bows—or choose a minimalist shift. Dresses made from this fabric are also known for bringing the heat: From high-flying slits to draped necklines and slinky silhouettes, silk is a body-hugging fabric that will make your group of girls feel as glamorous as Old Hollywood A-listers.
Although silk feels like a luxury fabric, it can actually be found in a range of price points and from a variety of designers. Whether your bridesmaids are willing to splurge or want to find something cost-effective, there's a silk (or silk blend!) option out there you'll all love. Best of all, this is a fabric that your attendants will love for years to come, meaning they'll likely find opportunities to wear their gorgeous bridesmaids' dresses again and again.
