mismatched-bridesmaids

Who says you need matchy-matchy bridesmaids? We love it when bridesmaids get to pick out their own dresses, and this whole archive full of real wedding pictures with bridesmaids wearing non-matching dresses. You might always want to check out our more general bridesmaid posts, including our awful-but-necessary How to fire a bridesmaid. Wait and what about groomsgirls? If you’re going that route, be sure to check out our mixed-gender wedding party posts.

Bobbie & Mario’s family-focused accessible wedding

The music in this wedding was totally note-worthy: an acoustic guitar duo playing covers, a gospel choir singing Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder, a “tropical space funk” genre band! It’s a music-loving, glowing ceremony-having, adorable family-including good time. Oh, and wait until you hear what got this pair laughing at the honky-tonk-themed after party!

Lauren & Steve’s homey family reunion barn wedding

When we feature weddings with barns AND tentacle content in one week, it can only mean it’s BARNACLE WEEK! Today we’ve got a lovely Midwest barn setting, some adorable fur babies, and a sweet, poetry-reading grandma.

Alison & Nicolas’ Irish music, dancing, and DIY wedding in a barn

Sweet kisses and a tearful groom at this golden sunset wedding

I dare you not to smile while scrolling through Christinia and Trevor’s wedding. Double dog dare. Especially when they hold hands before the first look. And during the kiss at the ceremony (with bonus LOLs in the background). And Trevor’s pose during the garter removal. And the break dancing tot on the dance floor. And finally at the most golden of hours on the Florida beach.

Sam & Eric’s pinwheels, robots, and Star Wars wedding

Robots and aliens have invaded weddings this week! It’s making me want to break it down in a binary solo. Today we’ve got Darth Vader in LEGO form, a robot card box, and tons of pinwheels. Oh, and you’ll never guess what the guests had to do to get win the bouquet toss!

Ruth & Andrew’s spiritually eclectic museum wedding

This bride got a little perspective and went from “Super Special Shocking Spectacular” to real-life, community-driven, awesome wedding. With a shmancy museum backdrop, a handfasting, and a ring warming (with a time-saving twist), meaning and tears were not hard to come by. And give me a few non-matchy matchy bridesmaids’ dresses with pockets any day.
