How to co-ordinate your bridesmaids and groomsmen wedding day looks

Your bridesmaids and groomsmen will share the frame in many of your wedding pictures. So, it is necessary that their looks are well-planned and go together. Coordinating your bridesmaids dresses and groomsmen attires will help you do this. If you are not sure of how to go about it, here is some help. We bring you three great ideas to get this done at your wedding. So, read on.

Matching Bows and ties for mismatched bridesmaids dresses

The current trend is to go with mismatched bridesmaids dresses, so each girl looks unique. Despite this, there is usually, a cohesive element that brings their looks together. Use this element to plan the groomsmen outfits. If the color palette is the same, get the guys bows or ties in the same shades as the corresponding bridesmaid dress. If it is the fabric that is the same, choose ties that have a similar texture and they will go together. For bridesmaids dresses from the Alfred Angelo collection, you can also find coordinated bows and ties for most of the dresses at Bows n Ties.

Match your bridesmaids dress color to the vest or pocket square

Matching the tie is the easy option. But, if you don’t mind going the extra mile to co-ordinate both the men and women in another style, choose the same color for the vest and dress, or have the pocket in the same color. The only thing you need to remember when doing this is that you should choose bridesmaids dresses in colors that can possibly be incorporated into the groomsmen outfits. Colors like gray, chocolate, beige, navy, yellow or black should be possible options.

Match the colors to the boutonniere

If you do not want the same color pattern for the bridesmaids dresses and groomsmen ties or vests, consider matching the color of the dress to the boutonniere. This is especially good in cases where your bridesmaids dress colors are unusual or awkward with dark tuxes. For orange bridesmaids dresses with a ruffled texture, have the boutonniere with orange roses or chrysanthemums, and you will not only replicate the colors, but also the texture. Keep the palette consistent, but vary the hues and you will have a stylish and chic mix.

Play with patterns

Now what do you do if your bridesmaids are to wear dresses that are entirely different in fabric, cut and print? It is simple! Just do the same with your groomsmen. Assuming that you will have one shade that will tie all the dresses together, make sure that the men too have this color incorporated into their attires, and all will be good. Why should women have all the fun? If your girls are going for patterned dresses, go wild with the prints on the ties too. Just make sure that they don’t look completely disjoint and confused when both groups come together.

To find bridesmaids dresses for all these groups, visit our collection at Best for Bride and you will find something for everyone. Head over to Bows and Ties for matching pieces for the guys, and you will have everything sorted out in no time.

Although your wedding shoes will be hidden under your long flowing gown for most of the day, your guests will still have glimpses of it as you walk down the aisle, or dance at the reception. So, make sure you have them notice your dainty feet dazzling with pretty touches that you have added to your wedding shoes.

Look at these shoe accessories that can do this without breaking the bank.

Shoe clips

Dress up a simple, white or ivory shoe that you bought at a bargain with pretty and unusual shoe clips. These accessories will add the required drama and take your shoe from blah to wow!

You can choose anything from flowers and silky satin bows to round glitzy brooches and sparkling crystals or gems to add those finishing touches to your shoes, and you will have a unique pair of shoes. To use your wedding shoes on another occasion, you have to remove the shoe clip and it is back to it’s original look.

Sparkling crystals

If you want a glamorous shoe, but all the sparkling ones are over-budget, how about customizing one yourself? You could also consider this option if the ones you come across are too sparkly for your taste, or don’t create the desired impact.

Shimmering crystals in all colors and sizes are available, and you can buy ones that you like. You can even choose your shoe decoration charms in colors other than white, to add extra bling to your look. Glue them all over your shoe for a super-sparkly effect, or confine it to just the heel or the toes, if you prefer a sophisticated look.

White is out, let’s color it in

More and more brides are looking for different ways to ensure their wedding look is unique. If you have chosen a traditional white wedding gown, but want to color some personality into your overall look, how about wearing your wedding shoes in a different shade?

While you can find many colours, you could also dye your shoe to match your wedding palette. When you are going with colour, make it as bright as possible, so it pops. Those fleeting glimpses of your wedding shoes while you circle the dance floor, will be spectacular and definitely noticed this way.

If you want colour, but don’t want to go all the way with it, you could consider having just the sole coloured with a coloured shoe sole kit. Girls who love little details will love shoe stickers that say “I Do.” These are also available in glitter or different colours to stick on your shoe soles if this is what will add an element of surprise to your feet.

With shoe accessories, your options are endless. It is not just about finding a budget-friendly option, it is also about creating your unique look. For more exciting wedding tips and advice, visit us at Best for Bride.
