How to Create a Cohesive Look for Mismatched Bridesmaids
Though many bridesmaids have loved – and some loathed – their matching ensembles selected by the bride, we have seen an increase of mismatched gowns for the bridal party. Many fashion-forward brides have elected to select a few flattering styles for their favorite ladies and have left them to settle on their preference from the bunch or have allowed their 'maids to select their favorite style on their own, as long as they stick to the selected hue.
Dress tones can range from the color palette of the wedding, to colorful floral patterns, or even a simple shade of ebony. This trend initially developed from brides desiring for their loved ones to feel great in their dress on the big day and be able to use it at a later date. Shapes in gowns also range, so everyone can find the silhouette that works best for their body type.
The mix-and-match idea can also work in the bride’s favor in another way: the colors can add to the décor scheme and result in creating magical photos due to the variety of tones. If you’re still unsure if this works with the vision for your special day, take a look at this collection of photos we’ve gathered for you that feature bridesmaids in a range of mismatched styles.
