When it comes to dressing your bridesmaids up, take a moment to consider some alternative options. I mean, most likely strict and boring all the same dresses will make your friends mortified to wear them. While something like a crop top and a skirt might get them really excited. Brides all over the world are rocking this trend oh-so-well, and I think it will be no less great idea for the bridesmaids, too. Let’s take a look at some examples of such outfits and maybe you’ll find something for your wedding here.
Matching Ensembles
Let’s discuss the design first. You know, it doesn’t have to be a huge space between the top and the skirt, if that’s what you’re afraid of. You can also leave no blank skin wearing a longer crop top and a high waist skirt. Try wearing a top, which is a bit loose, or wear a dress that imitates the crop top look but still is one piece. A matching ensemble or a two-piece bridesmaid dress is a more creative version of a usual bridesmaid dress – this is a great way to gently spruce up your wedding attire without going too far: these are anyway two piece dresses, the both parts of which look similar. It can be of any color, you can try floral patterns and such combos usually come with midi or knee skirts, though you can also find maxi ones. Lace or plain, with various necklines and silhouettes, these two piece bridesmaid dresses are all the rage.

Mismatching Ensembles
Mismatching combos are a bit more popular: you can create an outfit with various skirts for each bride or different tops of the same color. You can easily create such outfits pairing what you like or giving this right to your gals to show off their creativity. Such looks allow your bridesmaids create their own style and what they like choosing different skirts or different tops – even very similar looks can be styled differently! Try contrasting and bold looks like a neutral top and a jewel-tone skirt or vice versa or go for a neutral combo of a pastel top and a neutral skirt.
