Mix and Match Bridesmaid Dresses
You've got it, maids!
Searching for a bridesmaid dress palette that showcases the colorful personalities in your party? Perhaps something a little more daring than the classic monochromatic look? We've got you covered! BHLDN stylist Kirby C. is sharing five of her favorite avant-garde palettes, plus tips for taking mix and match maids to the next level.
Desert Bloom
soft florals meet
sunset hues
Palette Inspo | "This palette started with the floral dress. Instead of matching its colors in an obvious way, we played off the florals with eggplant and Sedona sunset for richness, plus lilac and seafoam to lighten the overall effect."
About the Dresses | "Every dress has an element of draping or a super-feminine cut, for a story that feels incredibly chic but still comfortable and easy."
Who's the Bride? | "She’s a little bit boho and a little bit romantic."
Perfect Gown Pairing | "The Heartleaf Gown, for its boho florals and romantic flutter sleeves."
Spring Eternal
a vibrant palette
in full bloom
Palette Inspo | "The printed dress is the centerpiece of this palette; all the other colors complement its pattern in some way. We love the idea of mixing pastels and jewel tones for something fresh and new!"
About the Dresses | "This story was inspired by the idea of unexpected maids looks—like a jumpsuit! You can achieve this by mixing of-the-moment party styles with more traditional bridesmaid dresses."
Who's the Bride? | "She’s a romantic bride with a modern edge."
Perfect Gown Pairing | "The Octavia Gown. The ballgown silhouette is romantic, while the open back is a chic, modern finishing touch."
New Neutrals
a tonal palette
with dazzling details
Palette Inspo | "I love the idea of a tonal bridesmaid palette, and I’ve been seeing a trend toward these colors. A subtle mix of blush and oyster adds dimension to the tonal look."

a playful mix of spring's
sweetest shades
