How To Elegantly Accomplish the Mismatched Bridesmaid Look

We still see lots of weddings where the bridesmaids all wear the exact same gown, but we also see just as many where the bridesmaids are all in different dresses. When done correctly, this is an amazing way to add some pizzazz to the overall look of your wedding. 

The best bridesmaid dresses in South Florida can be found at our bridal boutique. We have had plenty of experience assisting brides and their wedding parties in finding flattering bridesmaid gowns that look amazing together. Bridal Couture of the Palm Beaches has few factors that you need to keep in mind if you decide that the mismatched bridesmaid dress look is right for you. 


Keep the Length the Same

Scroll through a few examples of mismatched bridesmaid dresses online and you will notice one thing in particular. The best looking groups are usually all wearing the same dress length. It lends to a very cohesive look that comes through in all of those wedding photos that will be taken all day long. The hemline is an excellent place to pull the look of your mismatched gowns together. 

Same Style, Different Colors

Maybe you have one particular dress that you want all of your bridesmaids to wear, but you want a variety of colors next to you at the altar. Those colors need to make sense together. 

You can pick out a couple of complimentary colors for your girls to choose from, or if you are going for a rainbow look, choose the colors you want to use and let them each pick one out. You can also stick with one color, but have each bridesmaid pick out a different shade of that color. Then they can be lined up from lightest dress to darkest. 

Same Colors, Different Styles

If you would prefer that everyone is in the exact same color but are fine with them picking out different dress styles, this can also look amazing. It's very popular with bridesmaids because they get to pick out a style that is most flattering to their body type. 

The best way to make sure that the different dresses show up in the exact same color is to limit the choices to only styles from one designer in one fabric. Different designers may have varying ideas of exactly what shade amethyst should be. On the other hand, the exact same color from one designer will vary slightly due to the type of fabric. 

Different Colors & Styles

If you decide to really change things up and put your bridesmaids in both different colors and styles, you will need to give them some guidelines. There should be set elements picked out that every gown should have. Some examples include all floral dresses (either big or small print flowers), similar necklines, a matching accessory like a specific belt or waist sash, or all lace dresses. The overall looks will need things that pull them together to appear as a set.

Limit the Choices

This is always our advice, even when the bridesmaid dresses will match exactly. You and your maid of honor should do a bit of pre-shopping and find gowns that you would like to have worn at your wedding before including the entire group. The limited choices leave less room for the styles to get too far away from each other, while still offering your girls a variety to choose from. 


With a little guidance, your mismatched bridesmaid dresses can all look as if they were made to go together. The talented consultants in our Palm Beach bridal boutique can guide you through the entire experience. Make an appointment for you and your bridesmaids at Bridal Couture of the Palm Beaches and let us bring out the beauty of your entire wedding party.
