5. Contrasting Colors

Make an impact as you walk down the aisle by having your bridesmaids wear contrasting dresses. Depending on your style, these contrasts can be as lively and playful as you want, such as fuchsia, bright yellow, and royal blue. Or you can even opt for soft and sweet contrasts, such as burnt orange and blush pink.

8. Same Color in Different Styles

An easy way to mix and match your bridesmaid dresses but still keep the same aesthetic is by using the same color but changing the style of each dress. Switch up necklines, hemlines, and shoulders to make each dress unique to each bridesmaid. It means that your friends can wear a style that best suits them while still keeping in line with your color choice.
