Things we love: Different colored bridesmaids’ dresses!

We love it when a bride thinks outside of the box. After all, your wedding should be as unique as you are! One of the easiest, and prettiest, ways to separate yourself from the pack is by having your bridesmaids’ wear slightly different colors. I just placed an order today for three bridesmaids and each is wearing a slightly different colored green. All of the greens go well together and stay along the bride’s color theme, but each girl was able to choose the green that looks best on her.

A big trend these days is letting the bridesmaids have some choice in terms of their dress style; the reason being that with all those different body types it is hard to find one dress that looks great on everyone. It’s the same thinking with colors; not all colors look great with all skin tones/hair colors. You may find an adorable dress but if you put it in a color that your maid just cannot pull off then she will never even think about re-wearing it. We do have one warning though for those considering mixed colors: it can be more work for the bride to organize. You’ll need to keep an eye on who has chosen what color and decide if you’re OK with some overlap. The result of all of that work, though, is a gorgeous and unique bunch of maids, hopefully in dresses/colors that they can re-wear in the future! Who doesn’t love that?

How do I make sure all the varying shades of the color work together? For example, I would like the bridesmaids to wear green, and for them to be able to pick their own dress out (to allow for preference, body type and budget), but some greens just don’t work well with others. What should I do?

  Great question!! I would say you should come in and decide what designer(s) you like the best. Then look at the shades of green they offer and go from there! Anna Elyse has some amazing color options when it comes to varying the shades of a color in a beautiful pulled silk called Dupioni. As for helping the girls with budget/ body styles look for Trunk Shows which can ive you 5%-10% off already discounted prices and see if the designers do mix & matching tops & bottoms on dresses! Like Lynn Lugo & Anna Elyse!! Hope that helps!
