4 Perfect Ways to Pull-off Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses
All the ladies in the place with style + grace! And…different body types, unique style choices, a range of budgets, and individual personalities. There’s a reason mismatched bridesmaid dresses are practically taking over as the norm. We get it! There is hardly a perfect “Sisterhood of the Traveling Dress” that fits all your girls in both shape + style.
It’s helpful for your bridesmaids to choose a dress that fits them in every way and (spoiler!) it’s helpful for you, too. By taking the pressure off finding something that everyone will love, you put the power in their hands. At the end of the day, everyone will look + feel their best—and that’s something to celebrate on the dance floor.
So, how do you accomplish a stylishly mismatched lineup and NOT a hodgepodged disaster? The line is THIN, ladies. But here are a few tips to remember when you’re laying out the options for the dresses. You’re well on way to that Vogue-worthy bridesmaids shot!
1. Use Paint Swatches
A fun and sure-fire way to achieve the colors you’re looking for is to show AND tell. Take a trip to your local hardware store and pick out the colors you’re envisioning! Then, make it fun and deliver the swatches to your ladies in a cute package when you ask them to join your bride tribe!
2. Give Specific Details
Do you care about the length of the dress? Sometimes keeping a similar length keeps everything cohesive while the dresses can vary on other factors. What about fabric—should they avoid tulle or velvet? Are patterns okay? Give your bridesmaids some ideas of what you do + don’t prefer.
3. Share the Overall Vibe
What is your wedding style? Is it a boho-chic wedding? Black-tie formal? Make sure they know the overall vibe to help inform the final dress decision.
4. Send Examples
Visuals are ALWAYS helpful…which is where we come in! At Estelle Bridals we’ve got visual examples of how to do mismatched bridesmaid dresses the right way.
