Bridesmaid Dress and Wedding Gown Pairings

Your bridesmaid dresses should complement, not clash with, your gown. Fair enough—but now what? Start by taking a close look at your gown's fabric, feel, and formality, and use our pairings to help you determine a shopping strategy.

If your bridal gown features a strong detail, look for bridesmaid dresses that have the same element used in a different way. Here, we're talking about a modern bow treatment—one at gown's waist, and another version perched on the bridesmaid dress's shoulder.
