2014 Bridesmaid Trend: Illusion Necklines
Illusion necklines are huge huge for brides and bridesmaids alike in 2014. This 2014 bridesmaid trend is one of our favorite, and when you add a built in jeweled neckline to the deal we're sold. Not that we don't love any opportunity to break out the diamonds (trust us, it's always a good time for more diamonds), but the art of combining high and low in both fashion and accessories is a fashion challenge we love to accept. Choosing the right accessories to set off a steal of a dress can make your $50 frock look like a million bucks. Pair the right designer jewelry with a fun and funky costume jewelry piece and you've both created a unique look to show off your personal style and successfully made both pieces shine. So a resin jeweled mesh neck on this gorgeous Adriana Papell number just called to us. Its chic shape is perfect for a sophisticated fall or winter wedding, and it's subtle texture adds even more interest to the black bridesmaid dress. Also? Your bridesmaids will want to kiss you for selecting an LBD as their uniform. Let them dress it up with style steals that look much more expensive than they were and add in a favorite treasured piece they already own (or if you're feeling generous, splurge and gift them with fine jewelry). This David Yurman cuff is a great idea and a generous gift. In sterling silver, it complements the beading on the neckline nicely by mimicking the shapes of the "stones" with its onyx centerpiece. And Yurman's simple but textured cable signature is a lovely foil for the dress's texture. A smattering of diamond pave around the onyx adds a dose of sparkle to elevate this every day piece. Pair this look with seriously awesome shoes (that no one will know they paid a song for) and you have a chic, stylish and sophisticated look that both you and your bridesmaids will adore. All they're missing is a fabulous, seasonal bouquet - but you've already thought of that, haven't you?
