As we all well know, trends in the wedding world come and go. Some décor items are classics that withstand the test of time, while others are fun and current, representing the time stamp of your nuptials for years to come. In the last few decades, weddings have seen drastic changes in the representation of bridesmaids, as the inclusion of a bridal party is optional and will come with the most outside “say.” Brides want to ensure the comfort and confidence of their best ladies, so completely matching gowns for your ‘maids has taken a backseat to the trend of mismatched ensembles.

In recent years, many women have taken the fad a step further, incorporating the idea of the un-matching gowns into their vow exchange. Some elect to choose coordinating – but not matching – dresses for their gals to showcase in pastel shades or various hues of a main color, while others leave the decision completely up to their nearest and dearest to decide. The result: a lovely rainbow of frocks that complements each woman’s features and makes all of your friends feel as radiant as possible.
