Want to mix it up at your wedding and depart from the traditional bridesmaid team uniforms?  Try letting your bridesmaids choose their own dresses! This little gesture can be a nice treat for bridesmaids, who are often forced to shell out big cash for a dress they will never wear again. Giving the ladies the option to pick out their own dresses  gives your girls the opportunity to pick one they truly love and will be able to wear again and again.

No need to fret, just because you're giving your girls more dress options doesn't mean you can't still have a lovely and coordinated wedding party. Before sending your girls out to pick their own dresses, set some ground rules for the dresses they can choose. These little rules can help ensure that you won't be regretting your decision on the big day.

For example, tell the girls that they can choose whichever dress they like, so long as it's within a certain colour palette, fabric or length. Having your girls in a variety of dresses in the same colour but different tones is also a fun way to play with your wedding colours and keep the ladies looking cohesive. As a last assurance that you'll be happy with the dresses, schedule to have a little fashion show with your ladies a week before the big day. Ask all the ladies to bring their dresses and have them all try them on and stand together, this will give you a good idea of how they will look standing with you on the big day.

By providing a few guidelines, you can be sure that the girls will all look like they're part of the wedding party, all while letting their own individual style shine through!
