25 of our favorite mismatched bridesmaids
One thing we know: matching wedding party fashion is SO not required anymore. I’d say about half of the weddings we receive as submissions stray from the matchy-matchy tradition in favor of mismatched wedding parties. They range from mildly varied fashion to wildly different looks, and we love them all. Let’s travel down memory lane to revisit some of our very favorite mismatched wedding parties
Love notes at The House of Blues: This superhero wedding is asploding our hearts
Ashlee and Kace had a simple and intimate ceremony at the Rockefeller Greenhouse in Cleveland, ending the day with a night of dancing at the House of Blues Cleveland. Some of the wedding party wore navy dresses, while three rocked grey dress pants with suspenders and kick-ass superhero bow ties. Kace is a major superhero fan so keep an eye out for all those details, including the cake!
Moonrise Budapest Hotel Kingdom: A very Wes Anderson wedding
1960s-themed Moonrise Kingdom bridesmaids (with berets!), Fantastic Mr. Fox-inspired groom gear, a globe guest book, gorgeously French pastries, and so many Wes Anderson details to spot — this Wes Anderson wedding is miraculous. This four-day Labor Day weekend wedding even included rafting down the Rio Grande! You have to see this one.
Rach & Matty’s family union meets serendipitous venue wedding
With an amazing alternative to parent dances that got everyone involved, a lovely family unity ceremony, and kick-ass venues, this wedding was bound to make our day. Don’t miss the “gone weddin'” cupcakes, mismatched bridesmaids, handmade brooch bouquets, and amazing ring vows!
Kimmy and Erik “party forever” at their gorgeous, earthy, live music showcase wedding
Who wants to see Managing Editor Megan’s first time as a bridesmaid? Her two very close friends, Erik and Kimmy, married each other in chic bohemian style, in the Los Angeles mountains. Come for the live music (the groom is a musician), but stay for the fashion (the bride is a stylist).
A vintage-inspired goth wedding featuring a whole lot of hats and a unicorn bride and groom
Serge and Ely wed in Pennsylvania at the Abington Art Center, which proved to be a most excellent backdrop for their vintage and goth-friendly wedding day. The bridesmaids were decked out in mismatched purple gowns, the groomsmen (and officiant!) donned top hats, and an adorable owl and beaver topped their cake.
