It's probably going to raise an eyebrow amongst traditionalists. But it's one trend that we think should never go away.


It's probably going to raise an eyebrow amongst traditionalists.

But it's one trend that we think should never go away.

And that's the trend for deliberately mismatching your bridesmaids' dresses.

Four girls, four different dresses. So each girl can flatter show off her best points!

We're talking necklines, colors

Because not every girl suits the same dress. What makes one of your friends look fabulous will make another look dowdy. And you want each one of your maids to look and feel their best. Don't worry, your girls aren't going to look untidy. Ungroomed. Oh no. Just hold the whole look together with a single color and the different necklines will blend in beautifully.

And you can mix it up with two contrasting colors if you wish - so smart and just a little quirky!

Here's how to do it

First off, have a look through Dessy's bridesmaids styles to pick out the kind of dresses you like. Don't forget to choose different necklines, different colors and different lengths. Then maybe start a Pinterest board of what you like. Get your wedding color theme going.

Share the board with your girls. They'll be delighted that they are part of the choosing. Then find your local Dessy retailer and get trying on those dresses.
