Matching = out; Complimenting = {oh so very} in!

May 30, 2009

Besides the fact that everything in this photo looks positively flawless {the bouquets, the hair, the sheer gorgeousness of these girls!}, what I am most smitten with is that each 'maid was able to wear a different dress reflecting her own unique style. Yet they all come together in beautiful unison with the similar champagne + 'antique brulee' shades. Fab!

  1. I agree, I love how this looks! My girls are in the same color/fabric/length dress, but there are a few different styles.

  2. Couldnt agree more. They all look amazing and stylish instead of so uniform.

  3. This is the best example of coordinating styles I've ever seen. Honestly, I've seen quite a few pics of this kind of thing that I wasn't crazy about, but this is stunning, almost ethereal...

  4. I know so many brides who are going with this look. My best friend did this for her wedding and thank goodness! I would have been a nightmare if we had to find 5 dresses to suit our (very) different body types!

  5. MsTeacherLady:
    Ethereal is such a great word to describe it!!

    What I especially find fresh is the dramatic differences in style - some so modern and others so vintage.

  7. These dresses are so gorgeous together! I love the subtle neutral colors with neat textures.
    I'm so happy I went this route... I wanted by bridesmaids to enjoy my wedding and the planning process as much as possible. I gave them free reign over the entire dress choosing procedure. They decided beforehand that the dresses should be basically solid and not tropical colors. It ended up looking awesome: brown, red, teal, and yellow.

The girls dresses are all from Rose & Ruby http://www.roseandruby.com/ (Australian label) from the spring/summer 08 collection (last year) but their new spring summer story is gorgeous and there are styles you can mix n match. have fun :O)
