No two bridesmaids are the same—so why should their dresses be? Mismatched bridesmaid dresses have become increasingly popular, as they add fun contrast for your photos and allow your best friends to express their individuality. We’re entering the era of unique bridesmaid dresses, and there’s reason to be excited about the emergence of this mix-and-match trend. 

Are you curious to learn more about the rationale behind mismatched bridesmaid dresses? If so, you’re not alone. This trend provides the wedding party an opportunity to find unique bridesmaid dresses that suit their personality, body shape, and style. Plus, some couples prefer the mismatched bridesmaid gown look in their wedding photographs, as opposed to a more uniform aesthetic. And rest assured, your go-to bridal shop can help your bridesmaids glow and coordinate while keeping your wedding dress as the main focal point. 

Though some couples might initially feel apprehensive about incorporating this trend into their big day, having mismatched bridesmaid dresses might be easier and more welcomed by your bridal party. There are so many ways that mixed bridesmaid dresses can tie together to create a cohesive look and more importantly, contribute to the wedding’s overall theme. 

Some brides might ask their friends to select mixed bridesmaid dresses that are all within their wedding color palette, length, dress style, or pattern. This still allows for individuality but keeps the mismatched bridesmaid dresses from appearing too busy in pictures. Unique bridesmaid dresses could actually add interest and ultimately enhance the look of your wedding party pictures too.
