We all have those\u00a0free-spirited friends, reserved beauties or fiery fashionistas in our bridal party that we just can\u2019t imagine saying \u201cI do\u201d without. One of our favorite ways that brides balance each of their bridesmaids\u2019 different styles (and opinions) with their cohesive wedding look is through mix-and-match dresses. But experts and brides agree that pulling it off is a lot more challenging\u00a0than it seems.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMix-and-match is really a look that takes a lot of effort to make it look effortless,\u201d says Stephanie Wilkinson, co-owner of beloved Houston bridesmaids dress boutique, Bella Bridesmaids<\/a>. We talked with Wilkinson, co-owner Natalie Taylor, and their team, about how to make the mix-and-match look more manageable. Here\u2019s what they had to say:<\/span><\/p>\n

Give Them Something to Work With<\/strong> \u2014 Though the team at Bella Bridesmaids are experts in selecting the best fit and style for each of your gals, Natalie Taylor, co-owner of Bella Bridesmaids’ Houston location, urges brides to have at least one solid idea of how she wants her girls to look before embarking on this mix-and-match journey. \u201cIt\u2019s really helpful if they have at least a color or fabric nailed down and set in stone,” she says. “That\u2019s what we can start with, and work from there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Think Texture<\/strong> \u2014 When considering mix-and-match dresses, don\u2019t limit yourself to just differing colors or style. Taylor advises brides not to be afraid of bringing in different\u00a0textures! \u201cTexture is what really makes a mix-and-match look successful,\u201d she\u00a0says. \u201cWhen there is lace, and maybe some metallic or tulle, it looks purposeful and intentional.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep it Short\u2026 or Long<\/strong> \u2014 Color, texture and designs can differ from bridesmaid to bridesmaid, but Taylor warns that mixing floor-length dresses with cocktail dresses is a big no-no. \u201cA high-low dress and a floor-length dress would probably be okay, but we would stay away from a short and a long,\u201d she says. <\/span><\/p>\n

Stick with a Designer<\/strong> \u2014 Bridesmaid dress designers typically use similar color tones and textures across their styles, which helps brides keep things cohesive. \u201cA lot of the time we will stick with one designer,\u201d Taylor says. \u00a0\u201cBridesmaids can still get that mix-and-match look with different necklines in the same shades of color.” One designer that Provost highly recommends for achieving a flawless mix-and-match look is the simple and refined Amsale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust the Process<\/strong> \u2014 Patience is key when selecting your mix-and-match dresses. The team at Bella Bridesmaids will guide you as you carefully select your options, but it does take time. \u201cI start with one thing first, either a fabric or a color,\u201d Taylor says. \u201cI will pull one color and then move on to what our next shade would be. It’s a step-by-step process.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
