Well, now it's time. Why should your maids all wear matchy? The picture above shows precisely how cool mixing up can be (here with sequins and chiffons).

Why not blend colors just a little?

Brides Are Going For Similar NOT Identical

These days wedding dresses are beginning to veer a little away from the traditional one-for-all mentality with regards to their bridesmaids. Instead, they're opting instead for similar, although not identical styles.

Bridesmaids reach have some freedom within their dress choice (is not?).

Going Rogue Is Not An Option

Giving your very best gals some freedom of preference doesn't mean that you simply let them go rogue though. It's important to setup some pretty strict stipulations to help keep everything look organized and stylish. We've outlined the guidelines that will ensure most people are happy which your wedding party looks chic and complicated.

1. COLOR - Choose a couple of Pantone shade(s) for the ladies. If you have just a couple bridesmaids (like four or less) you could get just a little risky and allow them to choose inside a color family (like deep blue). A color story is a MUST, which means this point is non-negotiable. We recommend following a outlined color rule and combining it with a couple of of the tips below:

2. FABRIC - Whether it's lace or lurex (just kidding!) give your girls a cloth that they must stay with. Chiffon and silk crepe are generally awesome!

3. LENGTH - Just below the knee, tea length, or gown length are great options. Something we like is having your bridesmaid wear a sage green bridesmaid dresses other bridesmaids get a shorter length.

4. NECKLINE - This is less popular, but it is still a noteworthy idea. Keep it sweetheart, one-shoulder or perhaps a classic scoop, and then allow them to run just a little wild using the length and fabric!
