What images come to your mind when envisioning the bridesmaids wearing floral bridesmaid dresses at the wedding? Do you worry that those patterned dresses will steal the bride’s thunder or clash with your wedding theme? Well, let me tell you this, those floral dresses can transform your wedding into a distinctive and dazzling affair when mixed and matched thoughtfully.
If you’re at a loss for how to coordinate these patterns with your wedding theme, fret not. This article will provide guides and suggestions to ensure your wedding is stunningly complimentary. Here’s how to harmonize these blooming beauties with your special day, featuring enchanting options from our collection at AW Bridal.
The Beauty of the Mix-and-Match Approach
To begin with, let’s explore the magic of the mix-and-match approach together. In the enchanting realm of wedding fashion, this method has emerged as a canvas for creativity and personality. This delightful trend celebrates the beauty of individuality and unity through diverse yet harmonious floral designs. From subtle watercolor prints to vibrant blossoms, it allows bridesmaids to shine alongside the bride without overshadowing her, perfectly balancing the dance between uniformity and diversity in the floral trend.
9 Tips for Matching Floral Dresses with Your Wedding Theme
1. Find the Common Thread
Start by deciding on a common element that will tie the look together. It could be a color palette drawn from your wedding colors, a specific type of flower featured in your bouquets, or a dress length that suits the formality of your event. For example, blue floral bridesmaid dresses feature delicate roses that could echo the roses in your centerpieces or bridal bouquet.
2. Choosing the Right Prints
The size of the floral prints can significantly impact the overall look. Smaller, more delicate prints tend to be more versatile and less likely to clash with other wedding elements. Larger blooms can be a bold statement but require careful coordination.
Consider the wedding venue and season when selecting the print size—lush, larger flowers for a summer garden wedding or smaller intricate patterns for an indoor, intimate setting. For instance, green floral bridesmaid dresses with small prints are reminiscent of a lush garden, ideal for a vibrant and life-affirming ceremony.
3. Balance with Solids
If you’re worried about patterned dresses overwhelming the scene, balance them with solid colors. Choose a solid dress in a color that appears in the floral patterns to bring harmony to the group.
4. Fabric and Flow
The fabric of your bridesmaid dresses should reflect the formality and setting of your wedding. Light, airy fabrics like the chiffon used in AW GRIFFIN DRESS are perfect for outdoor or daytime weddings, while the satin of AW MARIN DRESS exudes evening elegance.
5. Accessorize Wisely
Accessories are the glue that binds the mix-and-match look together. Opt for neutral tones and simple styles. Our AW Bridal accessories, from pearl earrings to satin sashes, are designed to complement the dresses without competing for attention.
6. Don’t Forget the Groomsmen
The groomsmen’s attire should also complement the bridesmaid dresses. To achieve a cohesive look, consider selecting ties or pocket squares for the groomsmen that echo a hue from the bridesmaids’ floral patterns. This subtle nod to the color scheme not only unites the two sides of the wedding party but also adds a layer of sophistication to the overall wedding theme.
7. The Online Convenience
We understand that coordinating all these elements can be daunting. That’s why AW Bridal offers an easy online shopping experience with a detailed sizing guide, customer reviews, and a dedicated customer service team to help you find the perfect mix-and-match combination.
