Bridesmaid style has come a longway and gone are the days of everyone wearing the same bridesmaid dress. Today, brides are mixing it up with mismatched dresses, creating truly unique outfits featuring gorgeous ensembles with different styles, fabrics, hemlines, and colours.
The trend allows you to highlight each individual woman and ensure she’s wearing a dress that makes her feel great too, and the experts at Granny Mouse definitely know a few tips in this regard.
The first step is deciding which mismatched route you want to go. Here are some ideas for the big day.
- Same Dress Style in Different Colors
Don’t box yourself in when considering the colours for your dresses. A great tip is to pick a colour and have the bridesmaids each wear a shade of the colour they suit and look good in. This brings a bit of variety to the party. Different colours within a complementary colour scheme could look amazing.
- Same Dress Color in Different Styles
Not every dress is flattering for every person and by allowing your bridesmaids to pick their favorite style they are sure to be comfortable and happy.
- Stick to a hemline
Whether you choose all floor-length gowns, a uniform to-the-knee hem, or varying lengths, make sure you stick to a hemline or have balanced options on the table, especially for the photos.
- Tie the Look Together With Identical Accessories
If you’re alternating dress colours, represent each colour in the bridesmaid bouquet for stunning photos. You can even consider statement necklaces or earrings for a uniform accessory look
- Choose dresses they can wear again
If you are on a budget and find dresses that they can wear again, what a bonus. They will feel good about having something to add to their wardrobe.
Very importantly to keep in mind:
- The body shapes
- The colour scheme and how you will link it to your look
- Accessories – will they be carrying flowers, or anything extra?
- The costs, and remember to stay within budget
Open up your mind to some great new ideas and don’t forget that you are the bride and the queen of the party.
