Non-matching bridesmaid dresses are a
very popular choice among brides — encouraging bridesmaids to wear
something that generally coordinates. Nowadays, bridesmaids can wear a
dress that suits their own unique figure, budget, and personality. It
might sound odd, but it can be done and it can look amazing! Honestly, I
love the way it looks. Plus, it’s likely something they’ll wear again (none of that 27 Dresses business).
However, executing this trend can be a little
tricky. It is important to remember that there must be an underlying theme that
pulls the entire group into a cohesive look.
Here are some ideas and tips:
Different Shades:
The easiest colors to mismatch are neutrals. They
tend to look extra chic, and it's easier to avoid color clashes. Keep in mind
that the lighter the shade of the dresses, the better the overall group look.
For a more eclectic look, you can opt to have bridesmaids wear both short and
long dresses.

Different Styles:
If you're very particular about color, an easy way
to mismatch your bridesmaids is to utilize the same color and/or fabric but
with different styles. This way your bridesmaids can choose the shape and
neckline that best compliments their body type.

Different Colors:
For weddings with playful colors, switch it up
with different colored dresses. Match them to your wedding palette to add a
little oomph to your bridal party.

Same Color, Different Dress Styles:
Keeping the same exact color works well
for brides who are determined to have a particular color for their
bridesmaids. Give your bridesmaids a couple of fabric samples in the
color you would like to wear and let them pick their own dresses. You
may also want to include a few notes about length, or fabric.

Same Dress, Different Accessories:
If you’ve picked a dress that all your
bridesmaids are happy with, why not try accessorizing each bridesmaid
differently with different colored shoes, earrings, cardigans, rings,
necklaces or different bouquets for each.Photo via The Sweet Ice Tea Soiree |
Free Style:
If you're the type of bride with extremely stylish
friends, this is the option for you. There are no ground rules because your
trendy 'maids would probably break them anyway. Mix and matching different bridesmaids
dresses are a great option if you feel like your girls have a great
sense of style. Though you are giving them the freedom to choose what to
wear on your wedding, you can always provide some guidance about your
wedding theme to keep the look together.

The most
important thing to do is to communicate. Let your bridesmaids know what your
ultimate vision looks like (make inspiration boards, send them color palettes
and fabrics, etc.) and have fun with it!
I know it works, here is one of my brides (my daughter) and her 'mismatched bridesmaids'.

Cheers!
