Bridesmaid Dress Ideas for Every Wedding Theme

Bridesmaids are not only there to complete an entourage; they are the people that have become memorable parts of the bride’s life. As such, they should receive some consideration during the nuptials. In some cases, brides will be responsible for choosing the bridesmaids' dresses. If this is the case for you, here are some ideas that will best match your wedding theme:

Beach Wedding

For a beach wedding, the ideal bridesmaid dress should be perfect for the location. If your celebration is a bit informal, you can let your bridesmaid wear mismatched swim dresses from Dainty Jewells. Not only are they comfortable during the ceremony, but they can even wear it during the after-party. You can also have them wear navy blues and emerald greens to make the dresses pop yet blend well with the sea. 

Bohemian Wedding

When you are having a boho wedding, you can have your bridesmaids wear matching embroidered dresses featuring leaves and florals over a sheer canvass. They will perfectly fit the motif of your wedding, and they will definitely look great on your bridesmaids. Having seafoam green skirts with lace top can also give your wedding that boho vibe. Don’t forget to top their wardrobe with flower crowns! 

Church Wedding

For intimate church weddings, you can go for nude gowns that exude an air of elegance. Highlight the dresses with floral appliques for an added sophistication. You can also create a bit of variety by choosing gowns of different lengths. Just imagine how lovely these bridesmaid styles would look in a unique wedding photo book!

Garden Wedding

Don’t be afraid to go bold with your choice of bridesmaids' dresses for your garden wedding. If your venue is made of mostly greens, then you can add a pop of color with your bridesmaids' dresses that come designed with oversized blooms. You can even make each silhouette highlight each of their personality. Your bridesmaids will appreciate that you gave so much thought to their dresses. 

If you are not up for such a look, you can turn to sky blue tones and floral prints that show sunshine hues. This color combination can liven up your wedding, and you can even match the floral patterns to the dress. 

Romantic Wedding

For romantic weddings, nothing beats having your bridesmaids wear matching lace dresses. They are perfect for achieving elegance and sophistication that can keep your wedding celebration as intimate as possible. 

Alternative Wedding

If you are not one of those brides who want to stick to the conventional, an alternative wedding theme is perfect for you. When it comes to your bridesmaids' dresses, you may want them to wear bright red silk dresses or take it a notch higher by making them wear menswear-inspired suits that break the norm. 

Rustic Wedding

For a rustic wedding theme, it is best if you can go for mismatched dresses featuring floral designs and tons of woodland vibe. You can also go for different dress styles that yet have perfectly complementing colors, textures and prints to ensure the look remains cohesive. 

Traditional Wedding

If you want to have a traditional wedding, you can go for an all-white bridal party look. You can allow your girls to choose their own dress style for your wedding day, depending on their personality. If you are having a winter wedding, have them wear faux fur wraps to add an aesthetic flair. 

Your wedding is something that you need to plan carefully. While most preparations would ideally center on the bride and the groom, you should also set aside some time for choosing your bridesmaid dresses so they will feel how special they really are for you. Involve them in the decision process if you are having a hard time!
