Nonmatching Bridesmaids
If the thought of dressing up all your bridesmaids in matching head-to-toe getups makes you cringe, skip it. There are a couple of easy ways to go about it. Try picking two coordinating patterns or a fun pattern and color combo; then dress every other girl in one of the two. Another approach is to dress your maid of honor in a patterned gown and have each bridesmaid wear another one of your wedding colors. If you'd like to stick to one main color and fabric, just leave the rest up to the girls. They’ll, of course, be happy to pick their own dress. It can also be a fun idea to let them pick their own shoes and accessories, keeping with your wedding colors.
