A very feminine and a tomboy bridesmaid - how to co-ordinate?!

HappyGoldDecor15657, 30 January, 2018 at 14:41 Posted on Planning 0 3

So my sister, cousin and my best friend are to be my three bridesmaids.

My friend and cousin are both very feminine - they're both about a size 6, dancers, love having their hair done etc... you know the sort. My sister on the other hand is a tomboy, doesn't like make-up, and is already insisting she will not be wearing a dress.

The thing is, I just want her to be comfortable and happy. I know she'll wear whatever I ask her to in the end, but I don't want to force her into anything - and I'm really not the sort to get caught up on what she's wearing!

The thing is, if she had her way, she'd turn up in a t-shirt and jeans. I want to say 'wear whatever you want' - but I know when she's older (she's a VERY young 16 year old at the minute) she'll hate to see herself standing out in the photos.

What can I buy her that will match two very floaty, feminine bridesmaids dresses? Preferably not a suit because that's going too far the other way!

I don't have a set colour scheme yet but I imagine it'll be pale pinks, woody colours, greens - that sort of thing.

Thanks

    How about a smart t-shirt/vest top and culottes? Hopefully she'll be comfortable as it's not too far from her usual style?

    Take her shopping and see what kind of things she doesn't mind wearing, look for the kind of style she's ok with in the right colour then get the other two girls either matching dresses in the same colour or get three completely different dresses in the same colour. A suit isn't the only other choice, the are some really nice trouser and top combinations that you could get in the same colour as the dresses or even a jumpsuit, then she won't stand out. These aren't in your colours but like this.

    What about a floaty jump suit in the same colour/material as your bridesmaids dresses! She may not mind that.
