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.

Liz & Jon’s geeky gamer garden wedding

Foosball, pool, air hockey, and a ton of Dr. Pepper. Combine that with a garden wedding and you’ve got yourself a game night to remember. And whoever caught the 1-up mushroom for the extra life is damn lucky!

Flipping out, flipping skirts, and flipping the bird: offbeat bridesmaid at their best

We showed you funny groomsman photos, now it’s time for the ladies to have their day in the sun.

Fiona & Sean’s 1950s strawberries ‘n’ cream wedding

Fiona and Sean arrived at the ceremony in a pink 1950s Cadallac convertible. The bridesmaids wore different colored polka dot halter dresses and Fiona walked down the aisle to Johnny Cash. Fiona’s family performed special songs for them during the reception.

Kaci & Roy’s vintage Victorian junkyard wedding bash

Kaci & Roy got hitched at The Cathedral of Junk — her in a 1920s gown and him in a Victorian top hat and tails (and pants and stuff 🙂 ). Their ceremony featured a Unity Volcano ceremony(!) and a reading from Shel Silverstein. After their outdoor ceremony, they headed to an old Austin music venue for beer, BBQ, and southern fried foods.
