We love when brides give their bridesmaids the freedom to choose mismatched dresses for the big day. Dresses of different colors and hues go beyond a trendy wedding choice—they’re an awesome way to determine your wedding color palette. Not sure where to start with the mixing and matching of colors? We’ve got you. We’re rounding up 13 of our favorite mismatched bridesmaid dress color palettes inspired by real Junebug weddings. Whether you love neutrals, airy pastels, rich tones, or a mixture of them all, there’s plenty to be inspired by in these fashionable color choices.

Tips for Styling Mismatched Bridesmaids Dresses:

  • Go to your local paint store and pick out a few swatches of colors you like. Then, give them to your bridesmaids as examples of the colors you’re going for
  • Let your bridesmaids hash out the color choices. After they’ve decided who will wear each color, you can join in on the fun as they shop for their dresses
  • Add a special pop of color for your maid of honor. For example, if you’re sticking to a neutral hue for most of your bridesmaids, consider choosing a special color or pattern for your MOH

Gem Tones

Why it works: These jewel-toned colors give off rich, luxurious vibes, while still remaining fun and colorful. We love how this bride had a few of her bridesmaids in the same color. Pro tip: It’s okay if some of your bridesmaids have the same color dress–especially if you have a large wedding party. Keep a balance of colors in mind.

Shades of Pink

Why it works: Blush will forever be one of the hottest bridesmaid color palettes–and it’s not hard to see why. If you love the idea of putting your party in the pink shade but want to add a bit more depth, consider a range of pinks like this. It also allows everyone to choose the shade that’s best suited for their skin tone since blushes can be difficult to wear for some.

All The Blues

Why it works: Tying the knot in the summer or having a beach wedding? Blue tones are a perfect, more unique option that fits the season (and pretty much any venue for that reason). And because it’s not seen as often as other combinations, your bridesmaids are sure to stand out. Not to mention it’s an incredibly flattering color.

Pinks + Oranges

Why it works: This pallet reminds us of a beautiful sunset, and we can’t seem to get enough of it. If you’re searching for a color palette that is boho while still elegant, this is the one for you–especially because you can find a lot of satin dresses in these shades.

Green, Green, Green

Why it works: Greens may not be chosen often, but when they are, we eat it up. From olive to sage to emerald, there are countless shades of green out there that look absolutely stunning when put together

Reds + Rust

Why it works: This one is for the nearlyweds who aren’t afraid to embrace bold colors. We’re sure these beautifully vibrant colors will bring happy vibes to your wedding day. Plus, they look absolutely stunning in photos.

Pastels Please

Why it works: These soft colors make our hearts melt. They’re ideal for garden weddings or brunch weddings, although you don’t have to have either to pull this off. And because these dresses are the epitome of whimsical (and typically a bit more casual), there’s a very good chance that your bridesmaids will wear their dresses again once the big day is over.

Summer-Inspired Gem Tones

Why it works: If you’re hosting a wedding that you want to feel like summer camp, this color pallet will surely set the mood for the day. These colors are the perfect combination of bold and soft, giving everyone a chance to wear the color they love most.

Neutral Pink Tones

Why it works: If you love neutrals and are going for a lighthearted, boho vibe, we love the idea of incorporating neutral pink and champagne tones.

A Little Bit of Everything

Why it works: When we first saw these colors together, we immediately fell in love. This real Junebug bride pulled off the ultimate bohemian day with her bridesmaids in all different pastels. This is also an extremely easy color palette to follow if you’re hoping to incorporate floral bridesmaid dresses.

Shades of Purple + Pink

Why it works: Purple isn’t for everyone, but when done correctly, it’s a color fit for royalty. If you’ve always dreamed of a wedding that looks like it came straight from a fairytale story, you’re sure to love this one. Adding shades of pink in also allows you to add the color to your big day without being overwhelming.

Pink, Orange, + Green

Why it works: This isn’t an average everyday color scheme. With these pastel hues of pink, you’re adding a pop of fun to your day with the help of the orange and emerald green. Pro tip: When working with an array of hues, think outside the box by adding a few shades that pick up complimentary colors. For example, pink and orange work very well together, as do pink and green.

If you’re anything like us, you can’t wait for another celebrity to get married. The celebrations are typically over the top and full of Pinterest-worthy details. Although they’re famous, there are many different ways that you can incorporate touches that they had at their weddings into your special day. From stunning wedding fashion to a unique spin on florals, we’re rounding up nine wedding trends inspired by recent celebrity weddings that you can recreate for your wedding!

Wedding Trends Inspired By Recent Celebrity Weddings

1. Dew Drop Veils

If you’ve been on social media at all in the past couple of weeks, you’ve probably seen Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge’s wedding. It’s being considered the modern royal wedding–and it’s not hard to see why. Every aspect of the day was elegant. But what stands out most to us is Sophia’s custom Chanel dew drop veil. The water resin droplets sparkled as she walked, and to say we’re obsessed is an understatement.

2. Floating Outdoor Florals

We’ve seen a lot of weddings, which means we’ve seen a lot when it comes to florals. But Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams’ big day was complete with outdoor florals dripping from a large tree, and it’s such a fun spin on a traditional wedding decoration. It elevates the feel of the outdoors and would be the perfect option for anyone looking for a garden-themed wedding.

3. Embroidered Gloves

We’ve seen embroidered gloves for some time now. In fact, we listed them as one of the top trends for weddings in 2023. And we don’t see them going anywhere anytime soon. We have Nicola Peltz to thank for that. The best part about this bridal accessory is that it can be customized in so many different ways. Whether you want to include your new last name, your wedding date, or elegant flowers, the options are endless.

4. Colorful Reception Dress

If you’re not a fan of rocking a non-white wedding dress, but you still want to incorporate color into your wedding attire, consider wearing a colorful reception dress just like Alexandria Daddarios did at her New Orleans wedding. It’s an easy way to add some personality to your big day, and it gives you an excuse to rock two dresses. Who wouldn’t want that?

5. At-Home Weddings

Okay, we know what you’re probably thinking. An at-home wedding isn’t technically a trend. But we’re firm believers that it should be. If you don’t want to spend a lot on your wedding, or you just want to tie the knot somewhere sentimental, invite your closest loved ones over and host an intimate micro wedding at the place that means the most to you–just like Ariana Grande.

6. Patterned Wedding Gowns

For those who aren’t afraid of standing out on their wedding day, opt for a patterned dress like Sophia Bush’s. There are a variety of floral options out there that are still very bridal. They just add a little something extra.

7. Bridal Scarves/Capes

Want to feel like Grace Kelly? That’s what Anna Sophia Robb was aiming for when she chose her custom Danielle Frankel gown complete with a scarf. While we occasionally see capes (and we absolutely love them), a bridal scarf is a surefire way to take your bridal look to the next level.

8. Al Fresco Dinner Under A Canopy of Lights

If you’ve always dreamed of a romantic wedding that looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale, host your reception al fresco style under a canopy of lights. There’s nothing more enchanting than ending the night with those closest to you in the great outdoors, lit up by star-like lights.

9. Mirrored Ceremony Backdrop

You don’t have to be a music lover to appreciate the stunning mirrored ceremony backdrop that DJ Tiesto and his model wife Annika Backes had at their Amangiri wedding. It’s beautifully modern and fits almost every venue setting–especially the desert.

These are just a few of the trends from celebrity weddings that we are absolutely loving. We could go on and on, but that would take us all day. If you’re ready to see more trends that we think you should incorporate into your big day check out these 8 trends that are extra hot this year.

Warm And Inviting St. Vrain Winter Wedding

May 11, 2023 | kailey

Bill and Zach wanted a romantically charged celebration centered (literally) around what matters most–their love. What better way to achieve this than by saying ‘I do’ in the center of the room, surrounded by their nearest and dearest? By opting for circle seating, they created a feeling of intimacy and closeness, which was the very essence of their dream celebration. And with the help of planner Dotting the i, they pulled off the ultimate lovefest with a one-of-a-kind ceremony, a vibrant dance floor, and a modern industrial venue

Wanting a moody and dim-lit wedding space, The St. Vrain was an integral part of bringing their vision to life. Complete with exposed brick walls, wood ceiling trusses, and sparkling chandeliers, only minimal decor was needed beyond the existing features. To add an extra pop of personality, the couple used candles and rugs, which were later repurposed in their reception space. After their private vow reading and circular ceremony, the real party began when the guests hit the dance floor. The reception atmosphere was electric and, thanks to DJ TH Entertainment, was one of the most memorable parts of the night. 

From the unique twist on traditional ceremony seating to the luscious floral installations by Emma Lea Floral, photographer Mat Schramm Photography captured every detail that challenges traditional wedding standards. And lucky for you, you have full access to all the unconventional inspo that’ll make the perfect addition to your wedding mood board.

The Couple:

Bill and Zach

The Wedding:

The St. Vrain, Colorado, United States

Looking For A Sign To Have A Private Vow Reading? This Is It 

Before the ceremony, we did a private vow reading. It was just us and our photographer. We were both nervous to honestly and openly express ourselves in front of a large crowd, so we had an intimate moment to share those feelings with each other. This experience allowed us to be more vulnerable, creating a memory that we’ll never forget.

A Candle Unity Ceremony Completed This St. Vrain Winter Wedding 

We wanted the vibe of our St. Vrain winter wedding ceremony to be intimate and romantic. Candles, flowers, and loose greenery decorated the dimly lit space. A string quartet was playing some of our favorite classical and contemporary songs. And we kicked it all off with a candle unity ceremony where our guests were each given a candle. Next to us was a candle that represented our loved ones who couldn’t be with us. Using the flame of this candle, our parents lit theirs and began to pass the flame around the room until everyone’s candle was lit. Once surrounded by the love and light of our friends and family, we recited our vows and exchanged our rings.

A Dance Floor Guests Will Be Talking About This St. Vrain Winter Wedding Forever 

From the moment the wedding DJ opened up the dance floor, it was PACKED! We had so much fun dancing with our family and friends the entire night. Even after the wedding, we heard from many of our guests that it was the best dance floor they have ever experienced at a wedding.
