Matching VS. Mismatching Dresses | LET'S TALK TRENDS

I think using “trends” can really date wedding photos very quickly. I look at one-shoulder, high-low dresses and instantly know the wedding was 2014. Lol.

[@shannon4191]

Idk cause there’s some cute one shoulder dresses now. In general I hate traditional bridesmaid dresses, where you see it and your like “yeah thats def a bridesmaid dress” I like gowns better

[@lolsous]

But it's not really a bad thing, or something that can be avoided, that your wedding reflects the year or decade that you got married. I think that if you like a trend, go for it, so what if everyone will know that it was in 2020, it is your wedding and it should reflect your personalities and taste.

@@shannon4191 if hhhhhhh

[@jasminenapieracz7323]

Bridesmiads actually started as ladies who wear the exact same dress as the bride. Same for the groomsman with the groom. The folklore behind it says people believes that because emotions are very high, people are more suaceptible to becoming possessed by a spirit during this holy ceremony. Therefore the bridesmaids and groom'sman are suppose to confuse those spirits to protect the couple.

[@johanna2690]

But who brought it to the US? It's not a thing in Europe

[@garrulus3399]

That's so interesting!

[@HeathableHeather]

@@johanna2690 it is a English tradition 😊 so probably when they went over and created settlements they brought the tradition with them.

[@anamariarodriguez7079]

That’s so interesting! Thanks for sharing.

[@johanna2690]

@@HeathableHeather Ah, that makes sense. I'm German and here people are starting to do the bridesmaid thing. But it's from the American influence and not from the british influence. Which is funny since we are practically neighbours. But Germany is so influenced by American movies, shows and music. And by the way is the engagement ring also a british tradition or is it from the US? I heard that the diamond ring as an engagement ring is only a thing since the twenties. My parents didn't have an engagement ring or bridesmaids or a Bachelor Party. We have our own traditions but now everyone here does it the American way, which is kinda sad. Traditionally the wedding band is the engagement ring and you just switch the hand when married. As a Bachelor Party bride and groom have a get together where old plates are thrown for good luck. Also bride and groom traditionally go down the aisle together!!

[@erinsmilley5612]

Would love to see u do a video on some unconventional things you’ve seen at weddings like different food, food tables, arches favors etc even weird things maybe u wouldn’t recommend ♥️

[@gabrielledorigam2277]

For my wedding, it was actually pretty funny; my sister-in-law (who was a bridesmaid) asked me what color I wanted them to wear, and I just told her to wear whatever she wanted. She insisted, so I just told her "lavender", and then a few days later she asked me "which of these lavenders?" They were all nice, so I just picked one, and she and my other bridesmaid coordinated themselves, chose the style and everything. They looked beautiful, and it was 0 stress all around! Best bridesmaids ever, lol!

[@johanna2690]

Ha, so cute that it was important to them

[@LaquetaHodge]

Navy Blue is one of our colors and while I want the dresses to be the same color, I'm not forcing them to wear the same style because I want them to be comfortable & everyone is built different. I don't want anyone to be uncomfortable or ashamed of the dress, I feel like it should be something that can be worn again.

[@melissam4954]

I'm doing the same thing, even in the same color lol! My bridesmaids all have different styles and body types so letting them pick their own dresses seemed like the best solution.

[@shannon4191]

[@bekah4432]

Me for my wedding earlier this year: *In bridesmaid group chat* "Here's the dress I want everyone to get!" Everyone: .... One girl: idk if that will fit me Me:...." Okay everyone get whatever they want that was too stressful I don't even care anymore!" 😂😂

[@victoriagrover5415]

Great video! I still watch these even though I'm married now. 🤷 For my wedding, I wanted all the same dresses, vneck style in satin for my winter wedding, once all my girls were trying that style on it just didn't look right on half of them so I threw my vision out the window and ended up with a beautiful illusion neckline dress with beading on top and a chiffon skirt. My point is, it wasn't what I planned, but all my girls looked beautiful and felt confident, which at the end of the day is all I wanted. ❤️

[@gabrielledorigam2277]

That's wonderful! It's like I told our coordinator; our wedding party are our precious family and friends, not decoration pieces! The most important thing is for them to be happy and comfortable! =)

[@bekah4432]

I did the same! I picked a dress that only worked for half so then I just said screw it and gave them a color and said it had to be long and it turned out beautiful!

[@anamariarodriguez7079]

Yeah satin is tough if you’re not a super model 😂 good on you for being flexible

[@ambercaly4368]

We’re doing dark green, floor length, chiffon dresses for the bridesmaids and then the guys are in all black with a green tie for our wedding in December! 💚 It’s very much a slytherin house type vibe but it’s supposed to be super classy and christmas-ee ❤️

[@Denise-ob8dk]

That sounds gorgeous 😍😍😍

[@allisonkallberg2669]

I'm doing the same thing since dark green is universally flattering

[@ambercaly4368]

@@allisonkallberg2669 yesss! Agreed!

[@mollymuise1293]

This sounds beautiful!! Dark green is a really flattering color as far as shapes and skin tones!

[@ttintagel]

We wore dark green when I was a MOH and I thought it looked lovely. All three of us were close in height and coloring, so it was equally flattering for all. Best part was, the bride and groom were both music teachers and we got our dresses from a choir apparel catalog. They looked as nice as anything from a bridal shop, but were a fraction of the price ($60 USD) and came in a huge range of sizes.

[@jaclynsuchara755]

We are doing Dusty Sage and I told them to pick whatever dress they feel beautiful in!

[@jdoc1542]

Same! Such a versatile color that suits a lot of skin tones. All 4 of my girls actually picked the same dress without even knowing it!

[@anamariarodriguez7079]

In my imaginary wedding I would love to have my maids in different gem tones. Deep purple, burgundy, peacock blue, royal blue, emerald green, etc ☁️

[@wenmotivar]

I love it, I have a similar idea

[@meman6964]

Yes, doing colors of Sea Glass it's our 50th, so all in bridal party are of a "certain age".

[@lexythompson9131]

I love the mismatched look. what I landed on was one color for the MOH and one color for the other bridesmaids. Also the bridesmaids could choose whatever dress style they wanted (/price) as long as it was in the correct color. Azazie also makes great bridesmaid dresses. and allows for easy mismatching

[@kristenneri2424]

this is my plan! my MOH in burgundy and the rest in navy (whatever style but must be long).

[@ttintagel]

Oh, wow, I just checked out their site and I love their range of colors! Also love that they have categories for modest and separates. And the prices are really reasonable.

[@hannahsutherland4760]

For my wedding, I wanted mismatched dresses, but also wanted everyone in the same color. I actually found a set of dresses that were designed with different necklines/bodices but otherwise identical. I sent the link to my girls and everyone picked their favorite. Two girls had the same dress, but one had to alter hers to fit, so she changed up the look to make it more 'her' and it turned out beautiful! Everyone was genuinely happy with their dresses, which made the day that much better!

[@alyssapfluger4236]

I only have two bridesmaids. I showed my color palette and they both preferred the same color, so we're going with that. They just need a long dress that's flowy - and I made a Pinterest board so they could see what style / fabric / vibe I was going for. They can buy from a Azazie, a thrift store, anything really as long as it's not the same exact style as my dress and the color is close enough to the one I shared.

[@mashakleshcheva5240]

Hi Jamie, could you do a video about where my mom can get a dress? Like a mother of the bride/groom dress guide, what should they wear and what are some good places to shop? Thanks!!

[@pokelover02]

On most bridal dress websites, there's a section for the mother of the bride

[@ninairaci4989]

Safiya Nygaard has an awesome video about the history of wedding dresses :)

[@alohilanizapata53]

It actually also depends on the theme. My parent's had a Hawaiian wedding and they happened to have 7 bridesmaids/groomsmen so, each pair was colored the colors of the islands.

[@jencasey316]

I got married last December and this was such a bone of contention between my sister and I. I wanted (and got - cause my day) mismatched and she wanted me to tell everyone to wear the one she picked (which she wore and it looked great on her, but wouldnt have on anyone else). I told them all floor length and long sleeves - even if it was a shrug that matched - for the church, and I only made the exception for the shrugs because they were having so much trouble finding long sleeved dresses. I had a recreation medieval castle hall for the reception so I was going for a Medieval court feel. I also gave 3 color options - hunter green, royal blue (navy was ok too cause all the people wearing suits were in navy suits), and royal purple. Both my attendants and my wife's got the same color palette but my wife had their people in either suits or knee to mid calf length dresses. The only person who ended up outside those 3 colors was our flower girl cause my niece already had a gorgeous white dress and we were using a snowflake wand for her instead of flowers (and snowflake bouquets for everyone else) so I bought her a tiara to be a snow princess in all white instead.

[@Williperhonen]

Our wedding colours are plum purple, burgundy and gold, with green and cream to balance. So my bridesmaids are going to each have one of the colours. They can pick their own dresses since they are all in different countries, the only stipulations are its A-line/empire and floor lenght. They've been colour swatches and need to make sure the shade complements the others even if it doesn't quite match their shade. Fingers crossed this works. 🤞

[@Rebecca_Nicole]

I gave my bridesmaids a color swatch from a fabric store in a medium teal color. I told them to do the best they can to match it and to find short dresses. I'm approving essentially everything from dark green to turquoise but it's far more important to me that they are comfortable in the dresses and with the price points than anything else. I'm hoping they'll look semi cohesive, but even if they don't, I love all the colors near the one they picked and I'm sure they'll all be beautiful and happy with their dresses.

[@heyidaroo]

My bridesmaids all have different body types & different skin tones, but also different personal styles. E.x: one of my bridesmaids is bubbly & preppy but also more modest and another one is a black woman with natural hair who loves to show off her tattoos (and I want her to show them off at the wedding). I want all the bridesmaids’ personalities to shine

[@veronicametkowski5517]

I worked at a bridal store in the bridesmaids section and oh boy I hated the mismatch color thing. The appointment always was so hard to keep on track. Only once in a blue moon (usually when the bride and maid of honor were the only ones there) did the “ombré” affect actually happen. Now picking one color from one designer so they all match but they get to pick a style LOVE makes everyone feel better, gives a little variety while still looking like you are part of the wedding party. Ps. Loved that you used Kennedy Blue! MN gal here :).

[@allieb549]

I am really passionate about reducing textile waste in general and to me having a dress you haven't even picked for just one day is madness. My wedding dress is a sample, and my bff lives in Iowa and I live in the UK so I have said to all of them that they should wear a blue dress they already own, because who doesn't have a blue dress. We'll pull it together with accessories. Even if we don't, I would rather my girls be comfortable than perfect photos!

[@wenmotivar]

Couldn't agree more! It's so sad to make my friends who I supposedly love, waste money on a one-time dress that most of the time they don't even like or feel flattered in. Seems pretty selfish to me.

[@ashleyh9430]

I love Kennedy Blue! I have a dress from them, and the quality is great! Their customer service is great, too. My bridesmaids are getting dresses from there with the same color, length, and fabric, and they're choosing any style they want. They've all found something they like, and they're all different but will look cohesive. It's especially good for my junior bridesmaid. She'll match without wearing anything too grown up for her. My friend is having all of us wear anything we want within a certain color palette, and we're going to look very mismatched. It's her style, but it wouldn't want it for my own.

[@anamazing2297]

I'm gonna thrift my bridesmaids' dresses/outfits. I'll wear the color to match, and take them shopping, so the palette is cohesive, but the styles will be different. I'm also thinking of getting jean jackets (probably thrifted as well) as "will you be my bridesmaid" gifts, but I haven't decided whether I want jean jackets or skirts to be part of my bridesmaids' look, yet...

[@caseyrobicheau1448]

I am way too much of a perfectionist to have my bridesmaids in different dresses. Just the thought of everyone not matching makes my head spin. I plan on having them all in the same dress but I have asked everyone what they thought before hand. I’m planning on doing a rose gold sequin top (spaghetti strap that has a pretty design on the back) with a burgundy lined tulle bottom...all a single dress and plan on ordering off Etsy!

[@BlaqueCute29]

I feel the same!!

[@GlitteryCassie]

David's Bridal offers a super easy system for bridesmaid dresses. They have a ton of colors and styles, so you can tell your bridesmaid's something like "everyone pick a strapless long dress in the color peach" The dresses are all mostly under $200

[@jennyreed3331]

I only have 2 girls in my bridal party. I gave them the colour I wanted and told them the dress had to be floor length and they would pick whatever they liked and was in their budget! It made things a lot easier, especially since they ordered their dresses online (Azazie) due to not being able to shop in store due to COVID.

[@laurennasca-davis7747]

Same! 2 girls, said this is color and material get whatever style your comfortable in

[@beautymarkbyjess]

Newly engaged here as of 2/28! I'm having my bridesmaids (I'm only having two) choose their dress - it will be from the same company, same fabric, same length but they can choose whatever style beyond that that makes them feel most comfortable. From my past experiences being put in a dress that made me feel so self conscious or just plain uncomfortable which made the day feel way longer than needed; I was not about to do that to my friends.

[@carolynb.9469]

I want to have all my girls in the same dress, but a different color. Always have. My mom actually did the same thing back in the early 80s, and I think it looks great

[@caitlinclaflinmongillo6021]

I’m doing matching! Coordinating and approving 11 different dresses sounded overwhelming (and I definitely didn’t want to end up in a situation where I had to tell someone that I didn’t like their pick or that it didn’t work with the rest of the bridesmaids). Also, thanks for the code! I just picked a Kennedy Blue dress for my girls, and you are right, they are lovely to work with 😊

[@mirsey93]

It was difficult before we had ever been dress shopping. But once my bridesmaids/MOH started trying on dresses I was like "yea they HAVE to match" lol

[@cmclees42]

For my wedding I am doing same color and different styles that they want that fits their body type best. My best friend did shades of blue from an ice blue, dusty blue, steel blue and navy blue and we picked what style we liked, all same kind of fabric, for her wedding and it turned out gorgeous!

[@ciennalindsay4706]

[@jessiesteele9702]

Between myself and bridesmaids we were all in 3 different states. Did mismatched dresses but said they need to be long, chiffon, and plum. Thankful for David's Bridal for being able to help coordinate dress shopping 😅

[@TaylorSRSLY]

I have a "bridesman" in my party and trying to find a suit that matched perfectly to one colour was impossible so I've opted to do mismatched as well. It's more work but I would rather all of my party be in different colours than just my bridesman.

[@meg.2479]

WOW this timing is perfect. I needed this!!!!

[@HeathableHeather]

We are doing multiway dresses, all the same fabric length and colour, everyone can choose within a range I have decided on for how they want to wear it 😊 so much less stressful!

[@e-male4859]

Apart from budget, body type, and skin tone, another pro for having different dresses (specifically different fabrics) is important to consider if someone has sensitive skin or gets a rash from certain materials. Obviously the bridesmaids are not the focal point of the wedding, but they can't really celebrate with you comfortably if they're having a reaction. Also, a variety of sleeve length may be helpful if someone gets too hot/too cold quicker than others

[@emilyporter9367]

I plan on giving my bridesmaids the color swatch to help them find a dress in that exact color

[@robinruane6255]

I gave my bridesmaids a range of about 8 shades(at David's bridal) to choose from or their equivalent. I just asked for them to all have the same fabric and same length, or the matron of honor could be different if she wanted. One of my girls doesn't dress very girly so I wanted her to be comfortable and happy with what she was wearing. They all picked dresses that looked great and they felt good in. ❤

[@ruthallan-johns4391]

i got married in February (summer wedding), and we did mismatched looks for our wedding party. for the girls I just told them, wear whatever you feel comfortable and beautiful in that is navy, and for the guys dark/grey/navy suit. what was cool, is they all had either a navy dress or a grey suit already, so it wasn't really that big of a problem. then they could choose if they wanted to buy something new or not. and because everyone had a variety of navy/grey it was cohesive and everyone looked great.

[@soccrflirt]

This video was incredibly helpful Jamie! My bridesmaids have already bought their dresses but your input reassures me that the dresses will look beautiful together for my wedding. I decided on a designer that I really liked, kept the dresses the same length, but I wanted all my girls to feel comfortable and beautiful so I let them pick their own style and choose their dress color from three colors that matched the overall wedding color palette. And YES! You should stay with the same dress shop if possible because most shops will give you a discount if all the dresses are ordered from the same store. My bridesmaid dresses were around $185 and came out to be about $155 with a discount!

[@ashleyeliza0608]

I’m doing the same thing! Three different colors based on our color palette, same length but let the girls pick what style. Your comment really made me feel better about my choice since all my girls have already bought theirs and my wedding is a month away 😅

[@miamochiko]

I assigned colors to each bridesmaid because I have a specific pastel color story (think sailor moon but like, pastel lol) I’m letting my girls choose any style they like for themselves as long as it’s: 1. Floor length 2. Chiffon Also since we’re having a Catholic wedding, shoulders have to be covered during the ceremony. That means anyone choosing a strapless or spaghetti strap dress will have to get a wrap or cardigan for the ceremony but are free to take it off for the reception. Luckily, we’re getting dresses from Azazie and all they have a variety of wrap styles to choose from in their color as well :)

[@sarahedwards7691]

We're doing a navy dress with burnt orange accessories. They all have different dresses they love. All long and same material

[@CH-od8ni]

This is so interesting to me because I am not used to having a lot of bridesmaids and then matching their dresses 🤔 I think it can also look really beautiful if everybody just wears whatever they want. More lively and vibrant? Plus nobody can complain 😀

[@SarahLarsonwgm]

I went with all the same but if I would have had more time I would have probably decided on like 5-7 styles that were really similar to have them choose from. Something to think about is skirt length and to some extent fullness. I was the photographer at a wedding where three bridesmaids wore long, semi full chiffon dress and the others were knee length, tight-fitting, and satin. Each girl looked great in her dress but it wasn't cohesive (even though there were only two styles and they were all black).

[@RachieSSays]

All different necklines/same length and material. My MoH is in the same shade as the flower girls (petal pink), my bridesmaids are plum (MoH was in plum too but then she got pregnant and it changed cause the dress she felt most comfy in was a different dress with a similar neckline as another girl, hence color change), my jr. bridesmaid is in champagne. Groomsmen are in light gray suits with burgundy ties/pocket squares. Our jr. groomsman is in a navy suit with champagne tie/pocket square. Groom is in navy suit and burgundy tie/pocket square. And well I’m in vintage ivory lol 😂

[@ScenariosOfDrea]

My good friend did a different style but same color for everyone and it worked I felt good in the dress I picked as a bridemaid

[@paulkennyaupair5162]

Needed this. Was trying to decide whether I wanted them to match or not. And decided on not to match, just because everyone’s budget and style is so different.

[@katelynbuschman6359]

I like the mismatched and the matching, so I decided for navy blue infinity dresses (cause most everyone looks good in blue) and the mismatching their bouquets with flowers I picked to match their personality.

[@karinamace9254]

I think the best part about mismatched dresses is that if you let girls pick different styles, they can pick what suits their body type best. What looks good and is comfortable on someone that's 100 pounds isn't the same for someone that's 200 pounds, but they both deserve to feel comfortable in their attire!

[@marykeller5562]

[@taylorbergquist1774]

We are using Azazie. I created a showroom of dresses I like and my bridesmaids picked from there. I just asked that every dress be dusty rose, chiffon, floor length and no off the shoulder since my dress has that. I also asked my girls to send me the dress they are thinking about so we don’t have two of the same dress and dresses very similar are not standing by each other! So far it’s been going well and I have 7 girls in my bridal party.

[@JL-sz5kh]

I’m so glad you made this video. I choose the mix match bridesmaid dresses “wear what you want”. My bridesmaid love the idea. I gave them instructions on what material, lengths, colors from my pallet scheme, sequins they can choose from to look fancy. I also gave them different websites where I want them buy. From high end to budget friendly. They all can wear what fits their body’s and makes them feel happy. :)

This is such a timely video for me. The bridesmaid dresses have been a big focus this week during my wedding planning.

Would love to hear if anyone did something similar or opinions!

Yup! I'm not sure why, just how its always been done.

[@gemni5683]

So I kinda did the mismatch thing. I picked an infinity dress for my bridesmaids. That way they could style it how they wanted and was most comfortable for there body. However they each picked one of my 3 colors for there dress, blue purple and green. It was all a light Jersey knit fabric, hot July wedding, so no one would be sweating. Best part, they were under $80 each. Now if only we could have used them. Thank you covid19. We had to elope with only 6 people there in total. We hope to do a vow renewal someday...

Always enjoy watching your videos Jamie! Would love to see one on non traditional, non religious, unconventional (whatever term you prefer) wedding ceremonies. Weddings often are based on religious (or cultural) traditions, which is great, but I want to be conscious as my fiance and i are not religious. What is your take on the line of appreciation vs appropriation in regards to culture and religion in the wedding industry? Am I overthinking this?? Thank you!

I chose a website and a color and told my girls to choose their dresses. :)

I wanted mismatched dresses but my bridesmaids ended up liking the same dress in the same color! Lol my bridesmaids were so easy going!

My friend made us get whatever dress we wanted but she was very particular about the shade of red. It had to be specifically apple red. I thought that was good and flexible within a structure 😂😂

I'm wearing a sky blue wedding dress and my color palette is navy and white what color would look good for bridesmaids?

Have you ever worked with the website Budget Bride for flowers? We have a tight floral budget, and their prices seem to fit the bill without requiring diy. I'm wondering if they're easy to work with and if the product actually looks like the photos on the website.

Getting married on Halloween & I chose kinda mismatched dresses for them. Our colors are red & black, They are wearing red. I'm only having 3 Bridesmaids, 1 MOH My sister is a Bridesmaid and her dress has the same lace as my moh but looks totally different. The 2 other Bridesmaids are using a silk dress. The only difference is the back. So they all are wearing mismatch dresses but same color. 1 dress was found on clearance at Macy's in the prom section for $ 20, 1 from Dds Discounts for $14, only my sister and moh paid more for their dresses as they are much fancier. I'll post pics on the FB group😊

It's been going on since the 19th century. Just as Queen Victoria got the white wedding dress trend going, she got the bridesmaids dress trend going as well.
