It is universally agreed upon that picking up the perfect wedding dress can be quite a task for every bride. While this concern can be addressed with a little effort and research, the ordeal of finalizing a bridesmaid dress that syncs with the bridal ensemble while ticking the preference of each bridesmaid is a real one!

Each bridesmaid has a different body type, style preference, and budget concern, which further complicates the process of choosing the ultimate bridesmaid dress. Once a certain colour, fabric, style, and theme has been unanimously agreed upon the rest follows quite seamlessly.

To help you crack the bridesmaid dress code right, we have prepared a list of bridesmaid outfit ideas that will make the process of choosing the right fashion template for the bridal entourage hassle-free. So, let’s get started:

Cohesive Color Scheme

Go for bridesmaid dresses in shades that sync with the bride’s ensemble. Be it bold hues or subtle pastels, a complementing color palette further boosts the visual appeal of the general wedding wardrobe.

Enticing embellishments

Experiment with embellishments to achieve a complementary yet contrasting look with the bride. Beads, pearls, embroidery, sequins, lacework, and pleats can be incorporated or eliminated wisely to generate balanced and unique bridesmaid aesthetics.

Contrasting blouses, matching lehengas

A simple way to coordinate bridesmaid dresses so that they complement the bride’s outfit without turning out too unvarying, is to pick up identical sarees or lehenga choli and pair them with contrasting blouses. This ensures a stimulating visual canvas that sustains the harmonious look while drawing attention to the district shades and designs of the blouses.

Slaying in the subtle

It is a good idea to go for subtle, toned-down shades like pastels and neutrals to prevent drawing attention from the bride. Delicately embroidered lehengas featuring light sequins and understated prints allow the bridesmaid dresses to synchronize aesthetically with the bridal ensemble.

Electrifying contrasts

Just as complementing color palettes render a balanced and harmonious look to ‘Team Bride’, bridesmaid dresses in contrasting shades can help create stunning visual effects. For instance, emerald green or teal blue brilliantly plays off the traditional red of the bride’s attire.

Fun in fusion

Incorporating modern styles in traditional attires perks up the vibe of the bridesmaid squad. The bride in her conventional lehenga choli stands out in the bridal entourage of cosmopolitan fashionistas. Unconventionally draped sarees or designer blouses make for interesting bridesmaid dresses that are simultaneously complementary and contemporary.

Dupatta Dapper

Dupatta is that cult pick without which no wedding outfit is ever complete. The bridesmaid gang can team up with matching dupattas that subtly resemble the bride’s but are not exactly alike. For instance, if the bride dons a heavily embroidered signature dupatta, then the bridesmaids can get ones that are stitched in a similar pattern but with lesser embroidery and embellishments.

Scintillating silhouettes

Bridesmaid dresses can feature flattering silhouettes from traditional lehengas to bold bodycon; from quirky jumpsuits to beautiful sarees. Experimentation with silhouettes creates a dynamic and playful visual effect by contrasting with the vintage appeal of the bridal ensemble.

Same color but distinct outfits

A great way to spice up the bridesmaid fashion statement is to go for different outfits in identical shades. A singular color theme helps to demarcate the bridesmaids as the special entourage without homogenizing them. Also, with each bridesmaid wearing a different outfit there is so much scope for experimentation and fun!

One fabric, many styles

Settling on a definite fabric type and then working it into uniquely styled outfits can be a smart idea to get the bridesmaid coordination game going strong. For instance, if you choose georgette as the common fabric then go for outfits set in georgette. This way the texture of the bridesmaid dresses remains common, but the styles vary beautifully creating a heterogeneous visual appeal.

Matching accessories

Pay attention to the accessories of the bride and manifest her style by getting similar ones for the bridesmaids. You can opt for complementary bangles, earrings, maang-tikas, and hairpieces to achieve a balanced look that contributes to the overall visual appeal.

Harmonized hairstyles

Consider getting your hair done in a similar style to achieve a synchronized bridesmaid look that unifies the bridesmaids without diverting attention from the bride’s unique hairdo. 

The bride is indisputably the star of weddings. However, the bridal squad, featuring the bridesmaids, renders the wedding charming and unique. Besides providing support for the bride, bridesmaids contribute largely to enhancing the event’s aesthetic appeal.
