Choosing bridesmaids ensembles can be an incredibly fun bonding experience for you and your ladies; however, it can also be a bit of a challenge. With a number of different opinions and preferences – the bride’s included – many women have found the process to take more time and energy than they might have guessed. Oftentimes, the bride struggles to walk the line between the motif of her wedding and the voices of her closest gal pals. In this situation, compromise is key, though the comfort and confidence of your bridesmaids should always take precedent. It is for this reason that many modern brides have embraced the mismatched-gown trend for their ‘maids. 

One thing that most of your friends will agree on is wanting to look their best on your big day – and what better way to honor your bridesmaids than by letting them shine as they descend the aisle? There’s no better way to highlight your girls than to select a golden color scheme for their gowns. Whether you want everyone to match one another or you simply select complementary ensembles, gilt is an idyllic and bold hue for your radiant ladies.
