By

Iconic Ivory

These grooms know a little something about sartorial contrast. Surrounded by a squad of attendants in silken ivory hues, they paint quite the dramatic picture before the lush, green vista.

Pretty in Pink

All the sweet, feminine vibes! We adore how this bride's ornate maroon ensemble pops against the softness of her bridesmaids' ethereal pink lehengas.

Everyone in Emerald

Jewel-tone silks and velvets are exquisitely luxurious, the perfect complement to a black-tie winter wedding. Every one of these bridesmaids looks dazzling in the emerald-green shade.

A Unifying Accessory

These bridesmaids were given carte blanche when it came to choosing their wedding-day best. So what's the key to their cohesive presence? Keeping within a neutral color palette and rocking matching baby's breath accessories.

Glamorous in Black

These ladies certainly know their way around a photoshoot, serving pose after pose in their individual all-black attire. Everyone embodied the very essence of fabulous with the maid of honor denoting her status in a glittering gown.

All-White Everything

White is no longer reserved for just the bride—these 'maids pull off the stark color with tea-length dresses in various styles and textures cohesively brought together by the uniform bouquets.

Oceanic Hues

Navy blues and emerald greens are an unexpected combination that translates surprisingly well together. Like a deep, sophisticated palette reminiscent of a tumultuous sea. Here, the dresses were punctuated with anemonie-laden bouquets.

Elegant Appliqués

Nude gowns in different styles have an air of laid-back elegance, connected by matching floral appliqués. We love the vintage vixen vibe that results.

Coastal Grays

Fifty shades of gray has never looked so classy, or so coastal, with each lady flaunting a different tone of the smoky color tinged with hints of taupe, blue, or sea foam. "They are all so uniquelydifferent, and I wanted them to wear something that they felt comfortable in and that fit their personality/style," says bride Jenneh.

Bold and Beautiful

Big, bold, and beautiful, these colorful dresses make a punchy statement with oversized blooms. We love how different silhouettes highlight the versatility of the larger-than-life print.

Deep Rustic Color Combo

Deep, luscious hues of marigold, orange, sepia, and saffron make for an unexpected color combo rich in spicy tones and citrus notes. This palette is stunning for a late summer celebration or early fall fête.

Classic Navy

Crisp and clean, these navy cowl-neck dresses are the picture of sophisticated elegance and class. “I wanted a uniform look for my bridesmaids as well as a dress that was flattering and timeless," recalls the bride. "I’ve always loved a cowl neck and thought the style fit the aesthetic of the wedding perfectly.”

Garden-Inspired Pastel Perfection

In sky-blue tones and sunshine-hued floral prints, this bridal party is the epitome of pastel perfection. Bonus: The bouquets even match the various floral prints, as if by magic.

Pomegranate Noir

Matching pomegranate-hued chiffon dresses inject a considerable dose of glam romance when paired with the bride's quintessential white and groom's black tux. The bride was pleasantly surprised the style flattered all of her bridesmaids so well—two of which were pregnant at the time.

Vintage Vibes in Lace

Matching lace dresses in white sing a tune of retro romance, while floral crowns and complementing bouquets in ivory and dusty rose tones lend a boho touch. This gorgeous group looks sweet as can be in all their vintage-inspired glory.

Autumnal Warmth

Terracotta and rust, smoky tones, and burgundy notes all grounded in sumptuous fabrics of velvet and satin. This well-outfitted crew is the very personification of autumnal bliss.

Florals and Muted Palettes

Muted palettes, fitted silhouettes, and horizontal floral patterns? We’re all about it. Check out how the bouquets even feature similar flowers to the dress pattern. Now that's attention to detail.

Earthy Tones

Earthy tones of purple and sienna have a fall feel with a refined touch. And those wild-looking, foraged bouquets finish off the aesthetic beautifully.

Blushing Bridesmaids

If this isn’t the picture of pretty, we’re not sure what is. We can’t blame these girls for striking a pose in their blush dresses against a dreamy rainbow backdrop.

Woodland Fairy Vibes

These 'maids nail the mismatched dress trend—and get points for maximum re-wear potential. Different styles play with equally different colors, textures, and prints while still managing to be cohesive.

Winter White

While we may have already touched on the all-white bridal party aesthetic, winter white takes things to an entirely new level. This bride topped her ladies off with faux fur wraps to stave off the chill and unify their individual choices of jumpsuits or gowns.

Indie Flair

These bridesmaids (and the bride) are rocking the most creative styles we’ve ever seen. Fringe, appliqués, and asymmetrical designs take shape in varying silhouettes of slate blue for indie styles with total personality and flair.

Tailored in Teal

The richness of these jewel tones needs no introduction. These handwoven silk banarasi brocadesaris look absolutely impeccable, accented by the groomsmen's matching kurtas and mundus with gilded palm-leaf patterns. Now that's a cohesive crew!

Mismatched Ditzy Print

Ladies, take note: This is how you pull off a mismatched print. Allover prints are much more wearable when the florals are of a smaller scale and the matching pale blue palette keeps everyone on the same page.

Red Hot

This rainbow of differing silhouettes looks perfectly planned in the romantic palette of pink and red hues. "I wanted to be cognizant of the fact that everyone’s body and what they like is different," says the bride. "I wanted my girls to be able to show up as themselves."

Something Blue

We’re feeling blue, and not in a bad way. How trendy are these bridesmaids in mismatched silhouettes?

Like a Fine Wine

This classic burgundy hue is given a dose of freshness from the variations in necklines. We especially love the unexpected blush posies against the deep color.

Delicate Florals

Straight-up perfection over here in matching maxis, tousled waves, and delicate floral crowns for a chill bohemian-luxe vibe. Maximalist floral prints can be difficult for a crew of this size to pull off, but these 'maids do it effortlessly.
