Planning your own wedding isn’t an easy job, but in this article we’re going to make things easier and so let’s look at matching your bridesmaid dresses.
It can be hard to match your bridesmaid dresses and your wedding dress as well as other elements of the day.
As a rule, in a wedding, the standard is for the Bridesmaids Dresses to either be the same color or style(or at least a close match of either). Like it or not, the choice of dresses and their color make a statement on a wedding day. Ask any guest what the most memorable point of the day is and they will tell you that it was when the bride and bridesmaids entered the room.
This adds importance to the style and color that you choose and if they match well.
Color Matching Some great modern color choices are purple, crimson and metallic colors like copper, gold and silver. In recent times we’ve seen a move away from boring old pastels and light colors.
A good way to incorporate a color into your wedding is to have it featured in many different shades, so this means that you can echo the bridesmaid dresses’ color in your bouquet or the place-settings on the table by having those in a slightly lighter or darker shade.
A fun idea would be to have the bridesmaids dresses in slightly different variations of the same color. Different colors could be going a little far, unless you’re going for a rainbow ‘look’ (which is also done these days), but a choice of different shades can look lovely.
For instance, should you choose red, you’d see a spectrum of reds from darker crimson, through to a standard bright red, ending with a pinkish hue. Lovely, right?
Don’t forget that some matching jewellery would also be a great touch and even the bride could echo this color with perhaps a sash or bracelet (even though her dress is likely to be white).
Style Matching Matching the styles of your dresses is also a point to consider as it may look a little like a fancy-dress party if everyone turns up in totally different dresses!
Even though girls of different shapes and sizes WILL benefit from different style dresses there are some ways to please everyone.
