Unique Bridesmaid Outfit Ideas

Mismatched Minidresses

Who can properly party the night away in a long, formal gown? Sparkly, mismatched minis — as long as they're event appropriate — are a much more playful option that'll have your girls feeling both confident and sexy all night long.

If there's one look that can replace that stuffy old bridesmaid gown, it's the slightly more casual structured jumpsuit: pretty and polished but still danceable and on trend.

Printed Maxi Dresses

Swap out that sky-blue creation with a dress that has some pizzazz, such as a bold floral print. It's a style that your bridesmaids will likely wear again, making that small fortune they just spent a bit more palatable.

Who says this two-piece ensemble is only for groomsmen? Keep things clean and uniform by having your whole party wear the same thing.

While shift dresses and maxi skirts may seem simple at first, going with a vivid hue makes them that much more special. Together, your bridesmaids will stand out in the crowd of black and navy, and the cool color scheme will make for some fun photos.

Day Dresses and Booties

Loving the rustic theme for your big day? Top it off by having your crew rock breezy sundresses and booties rather than the more traditional empire-waisted gowns and heels. They will pair well with the laid-back vibe and are bound to be easier on everyone's wallet.

White Lace Sets

If you're not a firm believer in the whole "only the bride can wear white" thing, dress your bridesmaids in the same shade or a similar one as yours. This will create a dreamy, angelic look and works especially well if you're saying "I do" on the beach.

If you're still on the fence about opting for something different, meet somewhere in the middle with a sequined skirt and a structured tank. It's still fancy while being fashion forward at the same time.
