Spring weddings bring a fresh and romantic charm, making it the perfect season for bridesmaids to embrace airy silhouettes, delicate embellishments, and soft pastel hues. The key to bridesmaid styling is to complement the bride’s vision while showcasing an elegant and timeless aesthetic. Get inspired from the latest wedding mood board and use these handy tips from fashion experts to get the perfect spring wedding looks.

Embracing the seasonal aesthetic:

Spring weddings invite a fresh colour palette, moving beyond traditional deep hues to soft, muted tones. Some timeless classic spring hues are lavender, lilac for a dreamy, whimsical touch and Blush pink for a soft and feminine aesthetic. While powder blue and ivory are meant for a fresh take on the seasonal celebrations.

According to Kkhushi Sahaii, founder of fashion label KayKay, “Spring weddings call for airy silhouettes and delicate embellishments. Soft pastels and floral motifs define the season’s aesthetic. Bridesmaids should opt for light and breathable fabrics such as chiffon, organza, and cotton-silk blends to stay comfortable while looking effortlessly stylish.”

Classic silhouettes — whether an intricately embroidered sari, a structured blazer set, or a fluid co-ord — offer endless styling possibilities. Signature selections like a fusion dress or a co-ord set epitomize this adaptability, with refined details that transition effortlessly from day to evening. Opt for rich jewel tones like emerald, wine, and royal blue for a sophisticated touch, or embrace muted gold, champagne, and soft pastels for understated elegance. These timeless hues ensure a wardrobe that remains stylish across seasons, making them perfect for bridesmaids and wedding guests.

Versatile choices for different occasions:

Meanwhile, Udita Bansal, founder of fashion label trueBrowns, highlights the importance of versatile colours. “Winter and spring weddings offer unique opportunities to experiment with layers, textures, and silhouettes. As bridesmaids or wedding guests, the key is to balance elegance with ease. For winter, layering with lightweight embroidered jackets or structured overlays can add depth without taking away from the bride’s moment. Velvet co-ord sets or silk-blend drapes are sophisticated yet understated choices. Spring weddings, on the other hand, invite a play with flowy silhouettes—think breathable cotton-silk suits in soft pastels or delicate prints. Monotone or minimal embroidered styles ensure a refined presence while keeping the focus on the bride,” she says.

Accessory wise:

To elevate any wedding look, accessories play a crucial role. The key is to accessorize subtly — let the bride shine while embracing a refined yet standout look. Invest in timeless, versatile pieces that seamlessly blend tradition with contemporary style. Kkhushi recommends, “Bridesmaids can elevate their look with oversized earrings, bangles, hair accessories and embellished potli bags or structured clutches. With the right mix of statement pieces and versatile wardrobe staples, bridesmaids and wedding guests can look stunning without overshadowing the bride.”

For bridesmaids, statement earrings in sterling silver or 22K gold-plated designs add a refined touch. Udita adds, “Invest in multi-wear jewellery and timeless accessories for keeping it relevant across occasions. Choker necklaces or delicate layered chains work well for both traditional and contemporary looks."
