Inspiration to Wedding! Part 2

The Bridesmaids






I knew I loved the look a mismatched bridesmaids dresses right away. Of course it's not for everyone or every wedding, but I wanted this bit of eclectic-ness + for my favorite ladies' personalities to shine through. Bonus- they absolutely adored me for it!

ohh i think mismatched dresses are really cute! although I couldn't do it for mine b/c i am too much of a matchy control freak. but ever since i've been looking at more blogs, if i had to do it all over again i'd be ok with having lots of pretty colors and patterns!

I didn't do it for my wedding either, but I love the look of it. It's just so refreshing, and happy bridesmaids are very important.

it looked so cute! i tried to do the different dresses with my bridesmaids too, but they weren't having it.. they didn't want to have to look for their own dresses! LOL! so i just chose the same dress in different colors..

I LOVE the eclectic style! i thought it was a great idea to have us get something that fit our personality in a sense, but still look uniform within the group! so fun!

I think it was great of you to let them shine in their bridesmaid outfits, but also it's a brilliant idea too! I always thought that if I had a wedding with bridesmaids that I would do the same. I think it just makes it more special.

Great for you!

We did mismatched dresses at our wedding.... Sort of. They were all shades of brown and tea length but otherthan that the girls just chose their own.

I love how your mismatchy look turned out. So pretty!

Oh...and I love your book page diy. Great idea!

You're so clever at so many things! That's why I like your blog. It's pretty much great :).

I adore the mismatched style, too! These photos are beautiful. What pretty dresses.

I still kind of feel bad about my bridesmaid dresses. That third picture is such a dream.

My girls all wore different black dresses of their choosing. I love how they all reflected their personalities!
