How Do You Match Bridesmaids and Bride?

If you’ve gotten your wedding dress and are now wondering how do you match your bridesmaids, this blog is for you. Creating a cohesive wedding aesthetic can be difficult, especially as you venture into new bridal and bridesmaid trends for 2025. Below we highlight two popular bridesmaid dress trends, neutral bridesmaid dresses + blue bridesmaid dresses.

NEUTRAL BRIDESMAID DRESSES

If you’re the type of bride who wants a timeless and elegant wedding, neutral bridesmaid dresses are one of the best choices you can make. Colors like taupe, beige, pale yellow, and champagne, create an understated look that will pair nicely with most modern wedding gowns.

Should bridesmaid dresses be the same fabric as a wedding dress?

One common misconception is that bridesmaid dresses should be the same fabric as a wedding dress. While matching fabrics can look cohesive, we encourage brides not to let fabric limit them in their bridal or bridesmaid search.

For brides who want their gown to stand out against their bridesmaids, pay attention to the details of your gown. Take, for instance, this ‘Ezra’ by Jenny Yoo gown. This iris cutwork lace wedding dress pops against the bridesmaids' sleek silk dresses. While contrast exists between these outfits, the bold lace of this Jenny Yoo Collection dress perfectly complements the outdoor environment. An ideal mix of disharmony and balance is what you’re trying to achieve.

BLUE BRIDESMAID DRESSES

For brides who want their wedding dress and bridesmaid dress to coordinate, we suggest tying in colors from your gown. In this case, Jenny Yoo’s ‘Hazel’ dress in Arden would pair well with blue bridesmaid dresses. This blue floral print bridal gown adds a pop of color that can inspire a range of wedding details.

What is the most popular bridesmaid dress color?

Blue dresses are among some of the most popular bridesmaid dress colors. For formal weddings, slate or navy blue seems to be a popular choice. Cornflower or sky blue are some of the top outdoor bridesmaid dress colors.

The way you style your bridal party is important. Research bridesmaid dress trends and popular colorways to find the best looks to pair with your bridal gown.
