Is it okay to have un matching bridesmaid dresses

CountryBride, on October 16, 2021 at 10:38 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 23

So I consider myself to be a laid back bride, I have 8 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls, my bridesmaids come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and my biggest want is for them to all be comfortable, and I let them choose their own neckline as long as they did their assigned Color. So we are 6 months out and as of last night, everyone has their dresses, and now I am afraid they are going to look too miss-matched, I wanted the ombre effect so 2 are in wisteria, 4 are in Lavender haze 2 are in Iris, Is anyone else doing mismatched bridesmaids dresses? anyone has any tips to pull it together and make it look nice?

    I think it'll look very nice. I prefer that to everyone looking exactly the same

    It will look great. Mix & match is popular these days. My friend was actually going to use those exact colors for her wedding (but all but 2 bridesmaids dropped out so we just wore iris, LOL).

    It will look fine but isn't ombre generally the same color (or close colors) with just differing shades?

    I think it'll look very nice, especially since all 3 dresses are really the same dress, just with a different neckline.

    I honestly am so impressed that you have so many kids and still have time to think about such minute details!


    The color scheme is lovely. It will coordinate very nicely. I honestly find coordinated looks often end up looking better than all the girls in one dress.

    I think those will look great together. Think of it the way you would a bouquet of flowers or other arrangement of coloured things - having different shades will give depth and dimension to the finished look. If you only had 2 and they didn't match it might have looked a bit less pulled together, but because there are quite a few of them, it will look intentional.

    I have navy, burgundy & iris. All bridesmaids were able to choose the type/style dress they wanted, as long as it was in the color assigned. It brings out everyone’s different style and personality and I think it’ll look fine!

    Thinking about doing this as well since I have 7 ladies in my bridal party. How did you go about assigning everyone a color?

    Maid of honor is navy, Bridesmaids are burgundy & junior bridesmaid are iris. I chose each different “title” to be a different color

    Ahh that totally makes sense. Thanks!! I have two MOHs and five BMs. Might consider this as an option. I know I want to let them pick their style of dress as everyone has totally different bodies. Thinking on colors too.

    My bridal party is huge with different body shapes. The difference with my ladies is it's the same dress for everyone and three different colors with the exception of my two MOH that's going to be in ivory and champagne colors.Is it okay to have un matching bridesmaid dresses 7

    I love unmatched look, they are all different heights and weights and personalities, why shouldn't their dresses reflect that. It'll be a beautiful wedding!
