How to Style an Infinity Dress for All Occasions
Posted by Lauren H on 27th Aug 2021
Formal dresses, especially for bridesmaids, have come a long way over the past few years. Many brides are skipping the traditional matching dresses for more unique hues and personalisations. But what if there was a way to keep your best maids looking perfectly matched while having their own unique mismatched touches? In walks the infinity dress!
The infinity dress, also known as a "wrap dress" or "multiway dress", will complement most body types for a formal dance, gala, or celebration. We especially love infinity dresses in Australia for weddings because every one of your bridesmaids can have individual straps that can be styled in multiple ways, allowing each and every one of them to feel beautiful and confident! It's all about embracing individuality. Ahead, you'll find our top tips for selecting and styling your bridesmaids in their infinity dresses.
How to Choose the Perfect Bridesmaid Dress Colour
If you're aiming for an infinity bridesmaid dress, consider keeping with the tradition of having all of your girls in the same colour or hand-select two-three complimenting colours. By keeping the dress all one hue, while allowing for options in style and design, you're acknowledging that each bridesmaid has their own personality type and comfort level. They can pick their favorite style on how they wish to wear their multiway dress, but it keeps the colour palette cohesive and in your control. Leaving everyone comfortable and happy when they celebrate your big day!
