Brides are beginning to get very creative with the options they give their maids and we just love the creativity and visual interest it provides.
There are lots of fabulous combos and options out there which still provide an element of unity:

- Same dress with personalized jewelry
- Each bridesmaid can wear a unique fascinator (yep - we are still loving them and would love to see more of them)
- Each can wear a different style of dress in the same color and texture of fabric
- Each bridesmaid can simply wear purple (or pink or yellow or coral or whatever you like).
- Each can wear a totally different dresses with one common element (like length,lace detail, or one-shouldered).
One of favorite favorite favorite bridal party ensembles EVER was all 9 maids in completely different sequined party dresses. Adorable (and fun!).
This trend (we hope it stays for a long time) is so refreshing. Remember, your bridesmaids are individuals first, your maids second. Matching their dresses to your sash exactly and providing a PMS color for shoes and jewelry is a thing of the past. Your gals will appreciate it, too. But remember to be specific and send ideas, especially to your maids who may be less fashion-forward or interested in baubles, fabrics, feathers and all things girly.
Tip: Instead of giving your maids jewelry as their gift, change it up and give them a vintage brooch affixed to their bouquets. They can then remove the brooch and wear it during the reception for a little added party flair!
Haute Bride has a great collection of brooches (available locally at two of our fave bridal shops Big Rock Little Rooster and La Jeune Mariee) if you don't have time to comb the vintage shops.
