Congratulations! You’ve picked out your dream bride tribe, now it’s time to decide what kind of dress each beautiful woman will wear. If you’re looking to shy away from the traditional matchy-matchy gowns, opt for something unique like mismatched bridesmaid dresses! While it’s easy to fall in love with this colorful look, the execution can get a bit tricky.
From varied necklines and straps to contrasting fabrics and shades, here are four tips on how to perfectly mix & match bridesmaid dresses:
This is one of the non-traditional wedding trends we absolutely love, and we bet your bridal party will, too! Plus, it’s a great way for your best gals to choose a dress they feel comfortable and beautiful in.
From varied necklines and straps to contrasting fabrics and shades, here are four tips on how to perfectly mix & match bridesmaid dresses:
1. Same Dress, Varied Straps & Necklines
If you prefer a classic wedding style, you can still let your girls choose their own neckline and strap preferences. Simply tell them the color, fabric and designer, and the rest is up to them! The subtle variation will lend a pop of interest in the wedding photography, and allow each girl have the fit they feel most confident in. It’s a win-win!
2. Same Color, Differing Shades
You pick the color, they pick the shade! This is such an easy way to add pizazz and enhance the color of your big day. This is also a great way for your bridesmaids to choose a shade that perfectly complements her hair and skin tone.
3. Unified Color Palette, Different Colors
Brides, if you’re set on your color palette, incorporate those same tones in your wedding attire. The fun part? Finding varied hues in the same family! The options are truly endless. Choose from all varied sorbet pastel dresses to a mix of dusty light and deep bold hues.
4. Mixed Burst of Details With a Balanced Touch
Want to make your wedding day extra unique? Let your ladies choose dresses that harmonize in a few consistent features (like your wedding decor), yet deviate in terms of print, fabric or length. Think metallic or floral pops, all varying in dress style. This is what we call a (mis)match made in heaven!
