Unless you\u2019ve just walked off the pages of Vogue, it\u2019s likely that your bride tribe will come in different shapes and sizes, tastes and passions, and their favourite styles will vary. It\u2019s what makes us beautifully unique, however when you\u2019re making decisions about bridesmaid dresses, it can be tricky to know where to start. So to make it simpler for you, here are some of my favourite options when it comes to choosing beautiful bridesmaid dresses.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Same colour, different dress<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I love this option as it keeps your colour palette flowing through the day, without forcing your girls into wearing the same style. They can choose a style that suits them, and that they feel comfortable in. Loads of places now provide this option, and there are some dresses that you can even customise the style\/neckline\/cut on the day, so they can choose on the morning of the wedding!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10586064\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10586064\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586064\" title=\"Auto Draft\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/same-colour-different-style.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Draft\" width=\"900\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/same-colour-different-style.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/same-colour-different-style-500x361.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/same-colour-different-style-375x271.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10586064\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586064\" title=\"Auto Draft\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/same-colour-different-style.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Draft\" width=\"900\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/same-colour-different-style.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/same-colour-different-style-500x361.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/same-colour-different-style-375x271.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript> Auto Draft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Same dress, different colour<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Let\u2019s reverse it! If your girls are all a similar build, height and style, you might feel like throwing a rainbow at your wedding party! With this one, it\u2019s good to make sure your girls are all comfortable wearing the same style. Go for something flattering for all body shapes \u2013 traditional empire line or A line styles are great, with flowing fabric. And then vary the colours in line with your colour palette.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10586068\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10586068\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586068\" title=\"What to think about when choosing bridesmaid dresses\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/sentani-2014-1621-1200x900.jpg\" alt=\"What to think about when choosing bridesmaid dresses\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/sentani-2014-1621-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/sentani-2014-1621-1200x900-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/sentani-2014-1621-1200x900-375x281.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10586068\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586068\" title=\"What to think about when choosing bridesmaid dresses\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/sentani-2014-1621-1200x900.jpg\" alt=\"What to think about when choosing bridesmaid dresses\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/sentani-2014-1621-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/sentani-2014-1621-1200x900-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/sentani-2014-1621-1200x900-375x281.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript> What to think about when choosing bridesmaid dresses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fading and shading<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I adore the idea of using different shades of the same colour for dressing your gang. This is a great idea if you\u2019ve got loads of bridesmaids and want to do something unique with their outfits. You\u2019ve got two options here; same dress in different shades, or make each dress a different style. Either way, your pictures will look fab! I love the idea of fading black down through grey to your white dress\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10586065\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10586065\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586065\" title=\"Auto Draft\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shades.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Draft\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shades.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shades-500x389.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shades-375x292.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10586065\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586065\" title=\"Auto Draft\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shades.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Draft\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shades.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shades-500x389.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/shades-375x292.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript> Auto Draft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Same dress<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Got your heart set on a perfectly special dress? Awesome! There\u2019s something special about a row of identical bridesmaids just beaming with pride in their uniforms for the day. There\u2019s nothing wrong with dressing them all the same, they\u2019ll feel honoured for being asked to wear this stunning dress. What I would recommend, however, is getting their opinion on the dress you\u2019re thinking about. The honour of being a bridesmaid is huge, but you still want them to feel comfortable for your special day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10586063\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10586063\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586063\" title=\"Auto Draft\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/identical-dresses.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Draft\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/identical-dresses.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/identical-dresses-500x389.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/identical-dresses-375x292.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10586063\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586063\" title=\"Auto Draft\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/identical-dresses.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Draft\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/identical-dresses.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/identical-dresses-500x389.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/identical-dresses-375x292.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript> Auto Draft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Throw out the rule book<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Your girls will feel most comfortable and confident if they\u2019re wearing something that fits them well and that they love. So why not go shopping with each of them individually, or in a group, to pick out a dress that each of them loves. Some of my favourite wedding parties have seen each of the girls wearing something different, but super special. This means they can go for a favourite colour, they know the style that suits them and they can pick a dress that is comfortable.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10586066\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10586066\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586066\" title=\"Auto Draft\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/different.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Draft\" width=\"900\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/different.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/different-500x361.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/different-375x271.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10586066\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10586066\" title=\"Auto Draft\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/different.jpg\" alt=\"Auto Draft\" width=\"900\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/different.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/different-500x361.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/different-375x271.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript> Auto Draft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Why not include your girls in making the decision?
