One of the biggest decisions you will have to make while planning your wedding is choosing the right bridesmaids dresses. People like wearing an ugly or unflattering bridesmaid’s dress even less than they like dealing with a “bridezilla,” so let your bridesmaids have a little fun and wear what they want while still having control of the matter. Still skeptical of different bridesmaids dresses? We don’t blame you, the original thought can make you think “chaos” but don’t you worry! Here are some tips to help you rock this rising trend!

Be Colorful

If you really have your heart set on a certain style that you think will work well for everyone, give your bridesmaids a choice of two or three colors so they can add some of their own personality.

Another way to do this is to give them a little more freedom to choose the style and color of their dress.  Give your girls some restrictions such as a color palette and fabric but leave the styling up to them. The reason for this is simple, everyone has their own comfort zone and asking someone to step out of theirs and wear a strapless dress in front of a large group of people just isn’t fair.

TIP: To give some uniformity to this unique look have your girls carry the same bouquet.

Focus on Color:

Do you have a favorite color that you are just not willing to part with? No problem! Choose a color and fabric that you love and leave the styling up to them.
