Say goodbye to traditional bridesmaid dresses! Wedding fashion has come a long way since the days of tacky, matching bridesmaid dresses. Brides have been mixing things up with mismatched bridesmaid dresses. This new trend is a fun way to highlight each bridesmaids unique style while making sure they feel beautiful in their dress. Nobody likes wearing something they feel uncomfortable in! Mismatching bridesmaid dresses will ensure that everyone feels equally as confident.

Although mismatched dresses can make each individual bridesmaid feel her best, putting together a cohesive look can be a new challenge. You’ll want to avoid choosing dresses that create a disjointed look- your bridesmaids should still look like a group! There are three ways to achieve a cohesive, complimentary bridal party look:
1. Same Style Different Color
2. Same Color Different Style
3. Different Style Different Color

These bridesmaid styles are aesthetically pleasing ways to incorporate mismatched bridesmaid dresses into your wedding day. This way, you can give your bridesmaids some control over their looks. Each girl will know what they look best in, after all!

Same Style Different Color

Sometimes, you’ll find a universally flattering dress that all of your bridesmaids fall in love with. This could be a figure hugging mermaid dress or an eye-catching, backless gown. No matter the style, you can still have your bridesmaids wear mismatching gowns by having everyone wear a different color. If you want a more cohesive color look, pick a dress that comes in various shades of the same color. This will make your bridal party look as complimentary as they can be while still wearing different colors. If you want a more bold bridesmaid look, you can opt for completely different colors that will give a rainbow feel to your wedding. Who doesn’t love some fun color?

Same Color Different Style

If your bridesmaids have different body types or just love different silhouettes, you might want to try different styles in the same color. This option allows your bridesmaids to wear a style that flatters their body type while still standing out as bridesmaids in matching colors. Different styles can also be the perfect option if you have bridesmaids of different ages, as you can adjust the appropriateness for each member of your bridal party.

If you choose to have your bridesmaids wear different dresses in the same color, you might want to let your wedding guests know which color to stay away from. If all of your bridesmaids are in distinct gowns that are the same color, a guest who accidentally wears that color might blend in with the bridal party. To avoid any confusion, leave a note alongside your dress code so your guests are in the loop.

Different Style Different Color

This mismatched bridesmaid option is for bold brides only! If you want the most unique mismatched bridesmaid look then go for this option: different styles in different colors. Achieving a cohesive look can be tricky with this one, but your wedding day pics will truly stand out when you find the perfect combination. Different styles and different colors will allow your bridal party to wear dresses that are complementary to both their body type and skin tone, something that has been difficult to achieve with traditional bridesmaid styles.

Even though different colors may imply rainbows, you can still have a cohesive look by choosing the same color in different shades. Depending on the season, your bridesmaids can rock a spectrum of light to deep greens or pastel to hot pink. Even choosing a neutral palette like beige to tan can make for a classic look. To avoid all of your bridesmaids picking the same color, assign a color to each bridesmaid that you think would work best. This will ensure a cohesive look with all of your bridesmaids.

Although you decided to choose dresses that are different shades, everyone will be able to pick out your bridal party because they’ll all fall under the same color umbrella.

If you’re a bride who wants to try something unique and new on their wedding day, try picking our mismatching bridesmaid dresses. This will be a fun way to highlight everyone’s individual style while still having aesthetic wedding photos. Trust us, your bridal party will thank you later!
