The beginning of a new year brings the bridal fairs, and they are in full swing. With all the excitement comes the latest styles for bridesmaids dresses!

This year, the designers of bridesmaids dresses are showing long, short and in between. Tea length seems to be the overall favorite and what a plus for the bridesmaids. The tea length dress is the most practical of all the dress lengths allowing the girls to wear them again and again. They are a charming change from the long gowns we have been seeing and are easily accessorized with sexy , strappy shoes, wrist length gloves and shoulder warming shrugs.

This years bridesmaids dress designs continue to mimic the bridal gowns, with most dresses offering details at the waist and shoulder baring necklines. In 2006 look for halter necklines that will be predominate. Strapless gowns are also a popular choice.
