Bridesmaid Dress Styles for Pregnant Women

Most brides are ready to pick out a dress style that works well on different body types. There are some additional considerations, though, if one of the bridesmaids will be pregnant at the wedding. Wedding experts estimate that as many as half of all wedding parties include a pregnant bridesmaid. Happily, there are several figure-flattering maternity styles to choose from.

You need to keep your bridesmaid's comfort in mind while choosing a dress for her. Some fabrics that work well for a bridesmaids dress are silk, matte jersey and crepe. Soft pastel colors like peach, fawn and powder blue will bring out the glow in the bridesmaid and suit a blossoming figure. You can also add flair to the bridesmaids dress by jazzing it up with sequins and beads.

A-Line Dresses

  • Many bridesmaid dress designers offer maternity sizes in their more popular A-line gown styles. A-line dresses are a very popular bridesmaid option because they look good on just about any body type. This gown works well on pregnant women because it minimizes the lower half of the body. They offer a timeless silhouette that is narrower on the top and gradually becomes wider towards the bottom, creating an "A" shape.

Empire-Waist Dresses

  • Empire dresses are frequently used in maternity fashions because they offer comfort and style. An empire dress is a great option because it draws the eye upwards while elongating the body. This style works well for women who are smaller on top and larger on the bottom. The waist of an empire dress is set higher than the waistline of other dress styles, sometimes right under the bust. Pregnant bridesmaids may be self-conscious about their baby bump with the empire pregnant bridesmaid dresses.

Ways To Reuse Your Wedding Dress

In these times, we have to be practical, we have to save. We try to think of ways where in we could save a penny here and a dollar there, so much so that recycling and reusing old things have become more common place. The hoopla is over and you've settled into a comfortable routine with your new husband. But the question remains: What do you do with that expensive wedding gown. Even if you bought a designer wedding dress, it's doing little good in a box under your bed. While I've come up with some ways to recycle that beautiful fabric.

Anniversary Outfit

This isn't a practical use if you're going to be dining out, but you might remind your husband how beautiful you looked on your wedding day by pulling the gown out of the closet for a candlelight dinner.

Cocktail Dress

If you were thinking ahead, you bought a gown that could be shortened and stylishly worn as the white version of an LBD (Little Black Dress).

Prom Dress

Again, your gown should have a simple cut, but your daughter or other female relative might truly appreciate something so elegant for their prom. Since white and ivory are entirely acceptable for such events, you won't even have to dye it.

Flower Girl Dress

Think how special a little flower girl would feel if she were actually wearing a wedding dress. Of course, you'll have to cut it down to her size which takes a lot of skill.

Fairy Princess Dress

Cut the gown down to your daughter's size, add wings and, presto, instant dress up. What little girl wouldn't adore such a true-to-life costume?

Sell On eBay

Once you have cash in hand rom the eBay auction, you can donate the proceeds to the charity of your choice. Or you could keep the cash. Whatever.

Halloween Costume

This is one I actually did. My husband and I dressed up as an escaped bride and groom from the top of a wedding cake. We did a little DIY by cutting Styrofoam into ragged pieces, and decorated them with cake-decorating goo and attached them to our shoes so it looked like we'd pulled our way out of the icing.

Junior Bridesmaid Roles and Responsibilities

When a girl is named a Junior Bridesmaid, there's often confusion about what her role will be, and what she needs to do to prepare. Does she wear a dress to match the wedding bridesmaid dresses? Does she help to plan the shower? What does she do during the ceremony?

Choose Attire


The Junior Bridesmaid will be taken to the dress shop, or shown a dress online, by the bride. Some brides ask the Junior Bridesmaid’s (or her parents’) advice on the dress she’d like to wear, but the final decision is the bride’s. The Junior Bridesmaid can wear a dress in the same color and style as the bridesmaids’ dresses only if the chosen style for the bridesmaids’ dresses is more modest. No high leg slits or plunging necklines. Strapless dresses for the bridesmaid are a bit too sophisticated for the Junior Bridesmaid, so the Junior Bridesmaid’s matching dress will usually have shoulder straps added. If the bridesmaids dresses are appropriate for a young teen with no plunging necklines, the junior bridesmaid may wear the same dress as the other bridesmaids.

Assist at Wedding Shower and Party


The Junior Bridesmaid is considered a part of the bridal party, so she may participate in helping to plan the shower. She can attend planning meetings if she wishes, and her parents can support her choices in what she can help contribute. She should arrive to the shower early so that she can help the hostess set up or arrange any favors. During the shower, the junior bridesmaid should assist with the games and hand out prizes to the winners. She also should offer to help the hostess clean up after the event. A junior bridesmaid must attend the wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner with her parents. At the rehearsal, she will learn where to walk in the processional and where to stand when she reaches the altar.


On the Big Day


She will be dressed and ready on time for pre-wedding photos and pose for her portraits and group portraits.On the wedding day, the junior bridesmaid walks down the aisle in the process with a junior groomsman, if there is one. Otherwise, she will walk alone before the rest of the attendants and move to her designated area upfront. While flower girls may need to be seated with their parents during very long ceremonies, she should remain with the bridal party. She will take a place among the other bridesmaids during the ceremony. In addition to or instead of having ushers, junior bridesmaids can assist guests with finding seats at the ceremony and even the reception.
