Lavender beat out Millennial Pink as the popular color in 2018, and in 2019, mauves are the coolest upgrade. These shades can range from almost-grey to deep purples, but they’re sure to look beautiful for a fall or winter wedding. Be sure all the bridesmaids try on their shade, though, as some purples and greys can wash certain skin tones out.

Dusty blue is the perfect rustic shade for any time of year. Like mauves, these shades can get into the grey range, which is on-trend for modern brides. A great neutral that still has that baby-blue wedding whimsy, dusty blue is definitely here to stay.

Tea-length or midi-length dresses, like the ones seen here from Show Me Your Mumu,  are everywhere in style right now anyway, so it makes sense that they’ve floated over to the wedding sphere. We thought we’d never say this, but these are bridesmaid dresses you can ACTUALLY wear again. Tea-length is a fun diversion from full-length gowns, but it’s still classy enough for Maw Maw's approval. Plus, midi-length dresses can be worn for any ceremony time or wedding season.

Flutter sleeves, like the style seen here from Show Me Your Mumu, are the most delicate trend that we hope doesn’t go anywhere. The flutter sleeve is the perfect happy medium between sleeveless and longer sleeves. It has just enough coverage to make everyone feel comfortable not being bare-armed in all the photos, but flowy, soft fabric keeps them from being too heavy. Plus, they can be worn any and all seasons. Win, win, win! See more on @mumuweddings Instagram page.
