Why We Love Mismatched Bridesmaids!
The traditional view of bridesmaids dresses is that they all have to be the same—same color, same fabric, same exact style. This clearly gives the wedding party a very uniformed and clean look. Yet, even if all the girls in your bridal party are not wearing the same dress or color, this does not mean your bridesmaids won’t look put together.
We know how difficult it can be to find a dress that all the girls are comfortable in. Let's face it women are all various shapes and sizes; different dresses --and not to mention colors -- look good on different body types. So mismatched dresses could be a great way to ensure both a happy bride and bridesmaids. Also this could add a unique twist to your big day and inspire more fantastic ideas during the planning process!
So we dare you to be a little different with these great suggestions!

If you’re a more traditional bride and want the the dresses to look very similar, try this: choose one designer, one color, one fabric, one length and then let the girls have full reign over selecting their styles. You will get that classic look you wanted and your bridesmaids will feel confident in their dress.
Mix and Match

This approach is perfect if you are having a duo of shades as your wedding colors. This will draw special attention to the colors you have chosen and help people to notice all the ways you have incorporated the coloring into your wedding day!

Talk about an adventurous bride! If there is an array of hues detailed throughout your decorations such as colors of the rainbow (pictured above) or different pastels, then this a great direction to go! Just make sure you let each bridesmaid know the specific color you want them to wear so there is no confusion the day of. This will surely make a bold statement!
