Olive Green Bridesmaid Dresses Review

Hooray for wedding week! Since Ollie and I got married in (almost!) A lot has happened in 12 months, and it’s been such a pleasure to relive those wonderful memories. Going through our photos and reminiscing about those little moments gives me that sweet wedding vibe all over again. It feels so great to relive it all! Today, I’m excited to share with you my gorgeous bridesmaids and their olive green dresses from Zera.

If you’ve read any of my other posts about weddings, especially the one about wedding invitations or the full recap of the wedding day, you’ll know that the olive tree became a meaningful symbol at our wedding. Here’s why.

First of all, Ollie and I exchanged vows in the shade of an olive tree in the stunning olive grove at Alcaufar Vell. It was the most magical setting, a rustic little garden surrounded by silver olive branches.
Secondly, I must admit that I’m very happy that Ollie has become my “olive tree” (just add the “R”, haha!). ).
Finally, the olive tree has been a symbol of peace and love since ancient times, two values we hold dear as we begin our life together.
That’s why olives and soft shades of green were used throughout our wedding.

Zera Bridesmaid Dresses

L-R: My beautiful bridesmaids! My sister Marietta, and my BFFs Stephanie, George and Kate ❤️

I knew I wanted my bridesmaids to wear olive green dresses, but at first I was very confused! I was having a hard time finding the color or style I wanted that was elegant but also appropriate for a Mediterranean style venue.
Luckily, a close friend recommended Zera, a British bridesmaid dress brand founded by two amazing women, Fran and Katie.
As soon as I started browsing their collection, I knew I had found it.

I was looking for a green that would complement the olive trees on the wedding venue, such as pale green, khaki, or this beautiful ‘ocean’ color from Zera.

Zera’s Mix and Match Bridesmaid Dresses

One of the things I love about Zera’s dresses is the concept of “mix and match”. Fran and Katie designed their collection with just the right mix of colors and styles.
Since I am a fan of “navy blue” (which I jokingly refer to as “Alcaufar Vell olive green”), I gave the bridesmaids the freedom to choose their own favorite dress styles. They could choose their favorite style however they wanted.

Zera has a variety of styles for all body types – whether you’re looking for a sleek, bohemian look or a chic jumpsuit, there’s something for you!
After trying on a few different styles, my bridesmaids fell in love with the beige Zera Mykonos dress. I can totally understand why – it looked gorgeous on all of them!

The Mykonos style suited each of my bridesmaids and I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed every time I saw photos of them together.

My tips for choosing bridesmaid dresses

Choosing your bridesmaid dresses is just as important as choosing your wedding dress, so keep the following in mind:

  1. Climate: consider the weather where the wedding is being held. Will the weather be hot, cold and windy? Will most of the celebrations be held indoors or outdoors? These factors will affect dress styles and whether bridesmaids will need to wear more than one dress.

  2. Overall Color Theme: What colors do you want to use for your wedding? This helps to ensure that the overall coordination is beautiful.

  3. Fit: choose styles that suit all body types, or let the bridesmaids pick their own favorites. Comfort is key!
    It’s important to pick out dresses with your bridesmaids so that you can make sure they like their attire – to make them feel beautiful, not like they’re straight out of 27 Dresses!

I really hope my bridesmaids get to wear these dresses again. I can imagine them wearing their dresses casually with denim jackets, belts and sneakers for a daytime outing. Or with bold accessories for an evening look.

Let me know what you think of these stunning gowns and whether you’ve already picked out dresses for your bridesmaids! If you’d like more inspiration, find out how to choose the right bra for your bust shape to ensure a comfortable fit on your special day.

Zera bridesmaid dresses: shopping information in the light of the new crown epidemic

I double-checked Zera’s policy on picking bridesmaid dresses for this special time of year, and I have to say that Fran and Katie were very thoughtful.

Here is the information provided by Zera:
