Okay, this will never get old. I lalalalove a mix and matched bridal party... clearly because I have written about it a gazillion times. It never gets old or boring-- like say a group of girls in the same ugly navy blue ball gown. I apologize if your bridesmaids wore ugly navy blue ball gowns, but it just shouldn’t happen. There are too many fun and interesting gowns out there to subject your girls to a 300 dollar navy blue sack. I don’t know why I’m hating on navy blue, it’s a perfect lovely color, I just think we can do better. So here is my dream collection of bridesmaids gowns for a summer wedding!!! So whether you have 3, 5, or 7 girls I’ve got you covered.
{3} When you have 3 girls, I like to keep the colors similar. You don’t want to be all wack-a-doo with girls in tons of colors and patterns! So I pick a patterned dress that I love and pull out an additional color from the pattern. For interest, adding a dress with a simple white stripe adds a bit of fun... I just like to keep it mostly simple with a small group.
{5} With 5 bridesmaids you follow the same rules but you get to have a bit more fun. I think with more girls you can play with adding in an additional color and start introducing complimentary shades of a color, like the varieties of pinks/corals.
{7} First off, congrats on having lots of friends. Second, hooray you get to have lots of pretty dresses mixed and matched. You just have fun!! As long as all of the colors and patterns look beautiful together, they will look beautiful on your girls, so have a blast. The only thing that matters is that you and your girls love the looks!!!
