I’ll never grow tired of blush bridesmaid dresses, and according to the number of weddings we see with bridesmaids wearing them, neither will many of you! I personally think it’s the perfect shade for brides who are going for a sweet, romantic aesthetic, and it looks beautiful with every skin tone and hair color. We were so excited to learn about the new Wonder by Jenny Packham collection from David’s Bridal, because not only do they offer a gorgeous new assortment of styles for blush-loving gals, they also fit the high quality at an affordable price point standard that David’s Bridal is known and loved for. We asked a few sweet Florida readers to model some of our favorite styles for us, and our Blue Ribbon Vendor Elaine Palladino captured them to perfection so we could show you how lovely they are in today’s post!

There are really no “cons” to a mismatched bridal party look–every girl gets a dress she loves and that works with her body type, and it creates an interesting, layered look in your bridal party photos. There are a few ways to pull it off seamlessly:

1. Same color, fabrics, and length, different styles
2. Same color and fabrics, different lengths and styles
3. Same color, different fabrics, lengths, and styles
4. Same color and length, different fabrics and styles

As you can see in these photos, we went with option four, choosing all long dresses from the Wonder by Jenny Packham collection in “Petal.” The dresses come in 10 different colors, and are made of a variety of fabrics, including Chantilly lace and chiffon, so you can mix and match as much or as little as you’d like!

The Wonder by Jenny Packham collection is brand new–it just launched this season, and is available exclusively at David’s Bridal stores and on DavidsBridal.com. Along with six bridesmaid styles (that we pulled from for this shoot), the collection also includes nine bridal gowns, four mother of the bride dresses, two flower girl dresses, and accessories.

One of the best things about choosing David’s Bridal bridesmaid dresses is that with over 300 stores nationwide, it’s practically a guarantee that each and every one of your best gals will be able to visit a location and try on her dress in person to make sure it’ll be a perfect fit, no matter where she lives. Can’t figure out where to start your search? Use David’s Bridal’s Bridesmaid Dress Style Finder Tool to pull up all of the options that will be the best fit for your venue, color palette, and preferences, and then email the winning looks to your bridesmaids to weigh in on!

We’d love to know, which of these dresses is your favorite? I’m torn between those delicate lace sleeves and jeweled neckline!

Every year, we do our best to fill our annual print edition with advice and tips that will help you not only plan your wedding, but also (more importantly), help you and your fiancé prepare for marriage. We ask every couple we feature how they go about preparing for life after the big day, and were so happy to include many of their answers in V8. Please enjoy their words of wisdom every Sunday here on Southern Weddings!

Becoming partners in wedding planning truly made us better partners in life. We learned when the other felt something was deeply important and non-negotiable. We learned how to compromise so we both felt connected to a decision. We learned how to navigate our family’s wishes and concerns and weave them into our plans. Ultimately, we learned that effective communication is the key to a solid beginning. We’ve had to rely on each other a lot in the last year and I truly feel that having planned our wedding together helped us take on many of the challenges we faced during our first year of marriage.

Happy April, y’all! Although this week has been uncharacteristically chilly for North Carolina’s spring standards, we are blessed to live in the South, where it is beautiful no matter the temperature! I got to take advantage of the year-round beauty by taking a fun field trip to the WRAL Azalea Gardens this week for a mini shoot filled with sweet details and the prettiest blooms (keep an eye out for the results soon!). These gardens served as a lovely reminder of the wonderful place we live–the South is certainly one-of-a-kind. Share how you remind yourself of the beauty that is the South on Instagram, using the hashtag #DelightfulSpring! We can’t wait to hear from you!

See more from this engagement session by Eric & Jamie on our Facebook page!

In case you missed it this week…

Caroline and Chase: A lace gown, a rustic barn venue, and vintage china in Texas.
Catye and Trey: Farm tables, gorgeous blooms, and a fabulous dessert table in Texas.
Meagan and Logan: Industrial decor, Cajun cuisine, and a cowhide aisle runner in Texas.
Caroline and Wyatt: Hand-tied bouquets, a meaningful floral arch, and sign language-inspired details in South Carolina.

We revisited one of our favorite (and most pinned!) editorials from V6, Generations Past.
Kristin and Kyle took us on an tour of their colorful Orlando home on Southern Newlywed.
We shared Chandler and Gavin’s sweet Florida wedding film.

Have a lovely weekend!
