Weddings are a special occasion where you want the bride and all the bridesmaids to truly feel like princesses for the day – whether you are looking for a blue Cinderella-esqe gown or a dress that makes you look like Julia Roberts from my best friend’s wedding, we have the right one for you. To help give you some bridesmaid dress inspiration, we’ve collected some of our teams most favourite wedding characters, and selected dresses inspired by them. Let’s take a closer look at some of the bridesmaid or prom dresses from Cetims that make us think about some of our favourite wedding characters:
Julia Roberts in My Best Friend’s Wedding
How could we write a list on bridesmaid dresses without talking about the stunning lilac satin bridesmaid’s dress worn by Julia Roberts in the classic film, ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’. This floor length, lilac mermaid-style satin gown was one of the most talking about dresses of the year when it graced the screen and Julia Robert’s looked simply stunning in it. The Cetims Dulcie dress makes our minds think of this character’s dress – in the shade lilac it matches well with images from the film. The dress is made from beautiful soft satin, just like the one in the movie and has the same mermaid silhouette. The sleeves come beautifully off the fitted bodice, flowing over the shoulders and off the arms. The floor-length, fitted nature of the gown will make your bridesmaids feel sexy but supported. Pair these dresses with lilac, pink and purple blooms to make your maids feel like they just walked off a movie set.
Brave
One of the most vibrant Disney cartoon characters is the Scottish princess Brave. Brave stands out from the rest – she is powerful and confident, and don’t you want all of your bridesmaids to feel this way? Forget the blue dress that Brave wears for most of the movie – instead we want to focus on her out of control, vibrant red hair that really shows off her personality. Burnt orange bridesmaid dresses have really grown in popularity in recent years, and this trend is set to stay. The plus size burnt orange satin bridesmaid dresses of Cetims are some of their best sellers and our favourite one that gives us true Brave vibes is the Cetims dress. This dress in the shade Burnt Orange, features the shade that reminds us of Brave’s wild hair. On top of this, the long sleeves look very similar to the traditional style dress that she wears in the film. The shade looks brilliant at all times of year, but it particularly looks stunning in the autumn winter season. The satin material adds a sense of class and elegance to the dress as it slides over your bridesmaid’s curves, while the slight sweetheart neckline and the ruching over the bust are an extremely flattering design. The leg split allows your bridesmaids to move easily throughout the night and break it down on the dance floor.
Princess Tiana
One of the more recent Disney princesses is Princess Tiana, who is known for wearing stunning green shades which complement her skin tone. Tiana’s dresses are inspired by the nature that surrounds her, and this is the perfect theme for a spring or summer wedding. One of the features of Tiana’s main dress that we love is the jagged neckline that almost looks like the petals of a flower. The Cetims dress emulates this neckline in an unusual design. The pleated that make up the jagged neckline are pulled together by a ruched waist band which then flows down to a smooth side slit satin terracotta bridesmaid dresses. The shade sage is a perfect cool, subtle green tone that is extremely popular at the moment. If you are looking for a slightly brighter green shade, the shades green and moss are also beautiful options.
Charlotte and Miranda from Sex in the City
And finally, last, but certainly not least. Sex and the City is one of the most iconic tv shows of all time and on it are four fearless women who have some of the best fashion that has ever graced our screens. One of the most iconic moments in the whole series is the almost-wedding of Carrie to Mr Big. But its not the bridal dress that we were fixation on in these scenes, it was the bridesmaids. All the bridesmaids wore different dresses before the mix and match bridesmaid dress trend was even popular.
If Charlotte’s dress catches your eye, then when searching for dresses look at the black of Cetims options. Take the Cetims Fanny dress, for example, this black chiffon dress has similar ruffles moving down the front of the dress for some flowy texture, on top of this, the floral sleeve also matches the design from the movie adding extra volume to this gown.
Miranda’s dress, on the other hand, is a much bolder shade of bright blue which contrasts beautifully with her red hair. The dress in the film has some detailed structuring in the bodice area as well as a long flowing skirt. The Cetims long royal blue satin bridesmaid dresses also has this detailed structure across the abdomen with clear vertical boning and structure over the bust. The long, flowing satin skirt fits perfectly over the hips and then gently onto the ground, while the leg slit adds a touch of glamour to this gown.
The Take Away
As we consume hours’ worth of films and tv shows per year, we often see weddings appearing on our screens – each with their own fashion styles and colour choices. You may wish to use these dresses as ideas for your own wedding – you might not find a dress that is truly identical, but you can take inspiration from the shades, design features or materials to find bridesmaid dresses that you truly love. We hope that our list has some designs that will help get you started on your hunt for the perfect dresses for your close friends and family on your special day.
