We’ve all seen it- we’ve either been there or seen pictures where some guest or sister or mother is wearing something that stands out just a little too much and looks like an attempt to upstage the bride. It’s not pretty. And I’ve never yet met a bride who wanted the attention to be on her bridesmaids and not on her. So this question seems almost like a no-brainer, right? Except, well… I think the answer is yes!
As always, the answer is really “Yes, if it’s done correctly.” For example, I saw the CUTEST picture in a recent magazine, I forget which one, where the bridesmaids were all in the same tea length ivory dress, and each had different accessories in shades of vibrant green: chunky necklaces and shoes. It was fresh and elegant and gorgeous. I’ve also seen pictures with floor length gowns, but they were very simple and the bride’s still stood out, no question. There’s something fun about the idea: bridesmaids were originally supposed to confuse potential evil spirits so in a way it’s really traditional if they’re in the same or a very similar color. Just make sure that if you’re doing ivory the two shades are complimentary.
Here's a link with a pretty picture:
