Plus, a few helpful links to get you started. After all, it's called a bridal party for a reason!
Golden Girls…
There is something so mesmerizing about intricate gold dresses, and they look pretty amazing next to the crisp white of a wedding dress. Be inspired by textures like silk and lace to really pull together a memorable and sparkling set of gowns. Gold adds a luxurious twist to any kind of wedding from a relaxed garden celebration to a dramatic modern affair.

Picking Favourites…
Another fantastic way to create a seamless mismatched dress collection is by drawing out the main colours from your overall theme. We absolutely adore this warm and green toned assembly. It's a romantic spin on the traditional block-coloured bridesmaid dress, but with that little bit more personality.

Think Pink…
Your wedding day is a fun one so why not make it look as fun and flirty as possible! This array of pink tones looks absolutely incredible in photographs and has such a modern aesthetic in the desert setting. Don’t be afraid to play around with colour because if this isn’t cool, we don’t know what is.

Deep Romance…
Add in a whole lot of royal jewel tones for the most gorgeous darker palette, perfect for an autumn wedding. We seriously love how dramatic these contrasting tones look against the bright bouquets and gold wedding dress! Consider drawing out a few key earthy colours against a dark red to tie the whole look together effortlessly.

Shades Of The Sky…
For a destination or oceanside wedding, drawing out the blue from the water makes photos look like an absolute dream. Plus, cool-toned blue is an effortless choice for that relaxed coastal look. Ocean tones are a popular colour for bridesmaid dresses, meaning there are endless options around to mix and match as you please.

Nothing Beats Neutral…
Gorgeous blush and nude tones bring calmness and elegance to any wedding aisle. Your bridal party will be feeling like angels in soft tulle and chiffon for that super-natural and unified ensemble. Adding in dresses with white detailing will create a seriously seamless aesthetic between bridesmaid and bride.

Floral For All…
An outdoor wedding would flow amazingly with this full-on floral fantasy. Or, an indoor wedding would have the added benefit of bringing some of the outdoors inside! This can be a tricky choice to master, with so much colour and pattern to work with, but the depth created through a collection of bold floral dresses is simply unmatched.

Dreaming Green…
Earthy tones have such an elegant appeal for the aesthetic of a wedding day. Sage and olive are super on-trend and can always be used as a brilliant bridesmaid colour. Take this classic to a whole new level by adding in a printed dress, a deep green dress, or a soft lime colour.

A Classic Palette…
White on white looks magical, no questions asked. Add some dimension to an all-white wedding with lace and texture, a range of hem and necklines, or soft patterns. We’re obsessed with how this use of a shorter length creates a flawless look without distracting from the stunning bride.

Garden Party…
Soft pastel maxi dresses come in a gorgeous array of patterns and palettes that seem to always match together perfectly! The flowing style adds a sense of relaxation but with a whole lot of interest and movement down the aisle. We adore this soft blush and green approach for an outdoor wedding.

We adore how insanely put together this ensemble of ladies looks in mismatched frocks. With so much colour and texture, that white dress stands out even more! Layered skirts, ruffle detailing, lace overlays and gorgeous patterns create such a vibrant and rich effect. A bridal party to rule all bridal parties.
