Bridesmaids dresses

Harriet, 6 July, 2024 at 15:18 Posted on Wedding Attire 0 27
Hi,


I’ve been really stuck between 2 ideas for my bridesmaids’ dresses. I either want them to all wear different style dresses that are the same colour (I’m thinking yellow) or the same dress style but in different colours (I’m thinking pastels). I have asked them what they would prefer but they are equally as conflicted as me and like both ideas!
Any opinions or advice to help me decide would be appreciated!
Thank you in advance,Harriet xx

    If they like both ideas equally, that suggests no one has a strong objection to yellow, so I'd go with your first idea. It can be hard to get one dress that suits everyone, so assuming no one feels they would look horrible in yellow, giving them a choice of styles means each one can get a dress they feel happy in.

    Alternatively, you could pick a few dress styles from the same range and give them a choice of 'any of these three dresses in any of these three colours'. If they are all in the same range and colour palette, it's still going to look cohesive.

    It depends how many bridesmaids you have.


    I had 6 and there was 3 different shades (2 of them in each colour) but they were all the same satin material so it all matched.
    If you’re having 4 or less I would suggest different colours but the same style, if you switch up styles with less bridesmaids it looks a bit weird, unless you do 2 one style, 2 another style but all same colour? Honestly I’m saying all this though and it’s completely up to you!

    Depending on the number of bridesmaids you have, if there are many, having the same color but different styles is great. If there are only two, I think choosing the same color and the same style is more important.

    I have 4 bridesmaids and went with them all in the same colour but different styles. It really works! I did set some rules though; all chiffon and floor length. So they were different but not too different that it looked ‘too much’ if that makes sense!


    I got the dresses from JJs House who also offer a ‘Try on’ option where you can order up to 3 dresses and try on at home before purchasing. I asked my bridesmaids to each choose 2 dresses and then I chose the 3rd. They tried them all on and then chose which dress they liked best and that’s how we got the different styles. They liked having a say in their dresses I think, as they are all so different and it was nice to get them a dress I knew they would wear again in future because they chose it! Smiley smile

    Hi Harriet,

    It sounds like you’re in a fun but tricky situation! Both ideas have their charm: different styles in the same color can create a cohesive yet unique look, while the same style in various pastel colors adds a playful vibe. To help decide, think about the overall theme of your wedding—do you want a uniform feel or a bit more variety? Level Devil Game You could also consider the body types and preferences of your bridesmaids to ensure they feel comfortable and confident. If possible, maybe you could compromise by choosing a few different styles in pastels that complement each other. Good luck!

    Hi Harriet,
    It sounds like you’re in a fun but tricky situation! Both ideas have their charm: different styles in the same color can create a cohesive yet unique look, while the same style in various pastel colors adds a playful vibe. To help decide, think about the overall theme of your wedding—do you want a uniform feel or a bit more variety with those words. You could also consider the body types and preferences of your bridesmaids to ensure they feel comfortable and confident. If possible, maybe you could compromise by choosing a few different styles in pastels that complement each other. Good luck!

    Yes, I love the idea of balancing both styles—it really depends on the vibe you're going for, right? If the theme is more laid-back and fun, pastels might bring that playful edge. But if you're going for something a little more cohesive, sticking to different styles in the same color could be the way to go. It’s a good shout to think about your bridesmaids’ comfort too, since that’ll make them feel their best. A mix of styles in coordinating pastels could really bring that balance! Thanks for the advice—I'll definitely keep it in mind.

    Both ideas are gorgeous, but if you want to create a sense of harmony in your wedding photos, different colors are easier to coordinate – and yellow is so vibrant, bright, retro bowl college and full of life!

    If you have a large number of bridesmaids, it's excellent to have them all the same color but in different styles. Selecting the same color and style is, in my opinion, more crucial if there are just two.

    Both ideas are beautiful, but here’s a thought: if you want your wedding photos to feel more cohesive and timeless, same colour, different styles (yellow) often works best — it flatters different body types while keeping the look unified. On the other hand, same style, different pastel colours gives a softer, more playful and modern vibe. https://baldibasicsplus.com

    I love your ideas for the bridesmaids' dresses! Going with different styles in the same yellow color sounds so unique and fun. But the same dress in pastel colors would look dreamy too. Tough choice! Can't wait to see what you decide. Your wedding is going to be beautiful! Soccer Bros

    All are good choices, but it mainly depends on whether they match the bride's wedding dress.

    Same color (Yellow) + Same length + Designate 2-3 Escape Road styles to choose from. This cuts down on the chaos of too many styles, but still allows the bridesmaids a little autonomy over what they wear. Good luck with your choice and have a wonderful wedding day!

    Same colour, different styles (yellow):

    • Super flattering because everyone can choose a shape they feel great in.

    • Very cohesive in photos because the colour ties everything together.

    • Works especially well if the shade of yellow is bold or warm.

    Same style, different pastel colours:

    • Soft, romantic look — great for spring/summer weddings.

    • Looks pretty and light in photos, but the colours need to complement each other well.

    • Less personalised fit, since everyone is in the same style.

    If your bridesmaids are all different shapes/sizes, the same colour, different styles is usually the most comfortable and stress-free option. It also avoids anyone feeling self-conscious.
