As we nudge closer and closer to not only a brand new year but a whole new decade, couples who are planning to get married in 2020 may well be starting to think about what trend predictions may make an appearance at their very own wedding.

When it comes to bridesmaid fashion predictions, 5 Star Weddings caught up with the internationally recognised bridesmaid and prom dress brand, Dessy.com.

Mr. Alan Dessy, the CEO of Dessy told 5 Star Weddings that the way brides have been shopping for bridesmaid dresses this year in 2019 has changed and the company has been following for many many months now this shift in purchasing behaviours and have as a result launched a brand new, innovative product to meet with this growing demand.

So what is this new trend and demand?

Mr. Dessy continues, “It’s been quite a common trend over the past few years for the bride to have two sometimes three wedding dress changes on her big day but when it comes to bridesmaids, its often the norm for just 1 dress for the whole day for the maids. However, we’ve seen this past year, more and more brides choosing a more formal bridesmaid dress for their maids for the ceremony and reception in a neutral / pastel fabric and then purchasing a second style of bridesmaid dress for the evening – often in a shorter style and in a more vibrant / bolder colour”.

Bridesmaid Fashion Trend that is set to be big in 2020

What could the reason be behind this? Mr Dessy states, “I think the reason for this is more and more couples are turning the evening into a really fun, party atmosphere with greater emphasis on a party experience, live entertainment, great food and when it comes to the maids, the bride wants her maids to get into the party spirit and feel like they can let their hair done without feeling restrictive in a more formal bridesmaid gown”.

By having an option for maids to slip into a dress for an evening do that perhaps feels less like a bridesmaid dress and more like a cocktail / party dress sounds like a great idea to us!

With Dessy’s newly launched Loop Dress which is ONE dress that can be converted and worn in 13 different ways, brides don’t have to worry about having to pay out for 2 dresses per bridesmaids if this is a trend that they want to adopt.

The Loop Dress is perfect for your bridesmaids who not only want to change their look from day to night but also a way to fit their own unique style; perfect for any occasion, style, personality or fit. With different colour and length options you can keep everyone happy and without breaking the wedding bank!

Is this a trend you can see your bridesmaids wanting to follow?

Same colour, different dress

I love this option as it keeps your colour palette flowing through the day, without forcing your girls into wearing the same style. They can choose a style that suits them, and that they feel comfortable in. Loads of places now provide this option, and there are some dresses that you can even customise the style/neckline/cut on the day, so they can choose on the morning of the wedding!

Same dress, different colour

Let’s reverse it! If your girls are all a similar build, height and style, you might feel like throwing a rainbow at your wedding party! With this one, it’s good to make sure your girls are all comfortable wearing the same style. Go for something flattering for all body shapes – traditional empire line or A line styles are great, with flowing fabric. And then vary the colours in line with your colour palette.

Fading and shading

I adore the idea of using different shades of the same colour for dressing your gang. This is a great idea if you’ve got loads of bridesmaids and want to do something unique with their outfits. You’ve got two options here; same dress in different shades, or make each dress a different style. Either way, your pictures will look fab! I love the idea of fading black down through grey to your white dress…

Same dress

Got your heart set on a perfectly special dress? Awesome! There’s something special about a row of identical bridesmaids just beaming with pride in their uniforms for the day. There’s nothing wrong with dressing them all the same, they’ll feel honoured for being asked to wear this stunning dress. What I would recommend, however, is getting their opinion on the dress you’re thinking about. The honour of being a bridesmaid is huge, but you still want them to feel comfortable for your special day.

Throw out the rule book

Your girls will feel most comfortable and confident if they’re wearing something that fits them well and that they love. So why not go shopping with each of them individually, or in a group, to pick out a dress that each of them loves. Some of my favourite wedding parties have seen each of the girls wearing something different, but super special. This means they can go for a favourite colour, they know the style that suits them and they can pick a dress that is comfortable.

Why not include your girls in making the decision? Have fun playing with ideas, fabrics, colours and styles. Enjoy the process and don’t rush it – this is your time with your best friends – treasure it.

We had such fun in leafy Belgravia at The Berkeley, sampling their special Prêt-à-Portea afternoon tea in a masterclass to celebrate the royal wedding. And with biscuits and cakes inspired by the most fashionable trends, their new summer menu is something a bit special.

Biscuits, cakes and a few special new styles are all set for the annual couture makeover inspired by some of the world’s top fashion designers, such as Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu, and Tom Ford, as The Berkeley in Knightsbridge launches its new Spring/Summer 2018 Prêt-à-Portea collection. A favourite for fashionistas, Prêt-à-Portea adds an innovative twist to the traditional English afternoon tea and celebrates the latest catwalk trends each season. 

With a myriad of vibrant colours combined with graphic designs and florescent florals taking this season by storm, this Prêt-à-Portea collection takes inspiration from an array of distinguished fashion designers and their creative genius. First to step onto the cakewalk to kick start this season’s shade of summer is Tom Ford’s celebrated hot pink chocolate stiletto biscuit. Making a stylish splash is Miu Miu’s sunny swimsuit of dazzling yellow upon a vanilla biscuit base. Following this is red carpet ready Ralph & Russo’s pale pink ruffle dress transformed into a delicate ice cream cone – a frozen first for Prêt-à-Portea. 

Making a debut on the stand is the beautiful butterfly handbag cake inspired by London’s very own Aruna Seth. Playing our cards right, other Prêt-à-Portea delectables include Dolce & Gabbana’s ‘Queen of Hearts’ celebrated design set upon layered almond sponge cake and fashion flavour of the month Richard Quinn’s iridescent floral display is placed on an upside down black forest gateaux – fit for a Queen. 

Pastry Chef, Mourad Khiat says: “We are very excited to be launching our new SS18 Prêt-à-Portea collection. Bright colours, patterns and stylish swimsuits are always a hit but as chic as our creations look, they must taste delicious and we would never compromise taste for design.” 

For Prêt-à-Portea aficionados, The Berkeley’s exclusive recipe book – Prêt-à-Portea, High-Fashion Bakes & Biscuits – is available at the Collins Room where Head Pastry Chef Mourad Khiat reveals some of his top secret recipes for his most beloved fashion inspired designs from over the past decade. And for those who really want to learn the tricks of the trade, Prêt-à-Portea Masterclasses are available for two hours of tuition in the pastry kitchen, learning how to recreate a few fashion favourites from past collections. Each masterclass is for up to four guests, with each receiving a ‘Shoe Chef’ embroidered apron followed by experiencing the SS18 Prêt-à-Portea in the Collins Room and a copy of the recipe book to take home. We loved our masterclass – it would be a perfect hen party for an afternoon of fun!

Prêt-à-Portea is served at The Berkeley from 1:30-5:30pm every day priced at £52 per person (£62 including a glass of Laurent Perrier champagne or £70 per person including a glass of couture champagne). Masterclasses are priced at £225 per person and are available every Wednesday and first Sunday of the month from 2-4pm. To make a reservation for Prêt-à-Portea call 020 7107 8866 or visit the hotel website.
