Where to Buy Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses
Have you even stood up in a wedding and wore an ugly bridesmaid dress? Luckily, I haven’t, as my sister and my recently-wedded friends (who are all quite awesome) chose some of the prettiest dresses ever. And I even wore those dresses again. But I have attended a few weddings and I have viewed dozens of weddings (while blogging) where the bridesmaid dresses were very unflattering. Ugly bridesmaid dresses are really a thing of the past; bows on butts, clingy fabric, low cut or overly-conservative dresses worn by your BFFs isn’t the nicest thing to do. But now it seems like brides are giving a little more control over to their BFFs, letting them pick out a dress in one color with a different neckline (or a color within a particular palette) depending on what suits their style and figure best. And we say it’s about dang time. No two women are the same, so why choose one dress and try to get everyone to wear the same exact thing? Instead, you can achieve a very balanced and coordinated look by choosing convertible bridesmaid dresses available in a multitude of flattering silhouettes in one overall color, so each bridesmaid can choose the cut or length that she likes best. Does she love a halter? A one-shoulder dress? Prefer strapless? She can choose which style she likes to wear best and go for it. Ultimately, you get to select the color (or color palette) and your bridesmaids finally get to wear a dress they’ll actually love. As a result, they’re happier with the dress, appreciative that they’ll feel and look confident in the bridesmaid dress, and more likely to wear it again for a special event.
Once you’ve made the decision to let bridesmaids have ultimate say on what dress they wear (in a specific color you’ve selected to coordinate with your palette), the next question comes: where to buy mismatched dresses. There are a few ways to go about this, but we’re here to guide you to not only the nicest looking and highest-quality bridesmaid dresses, but the best priced on the market. You really don’t want/need bridesmaids to spend too much on their dresses, if you can avoid it. P.S. These are also called convertible bridesmaid dresses or infinity dresses, just as an FYI.
