1. Strapless Empire Waist Maxi Dresses
The most classic option. All the brides with the exact same dress in maxi length. One of the most popular options is strapless. In this case, we chose an empire waist because it is flattering for every body shape. Even for pregnant bridesmaids! On the other hand, there are also other very popular neckline options such as halter, v-neck, spaghetti straps,...

2. Diverse styles Maxi Dresses
In this case, the fun part is to combine different styles, keeping the same length. Each one of your friends is different, so why not allow them to choose the style they feel more comfortable with. You just fix the length and the color, and they can choose among a variety of styles. Just pay attention to the combinations. Necklines (5): halter, spaghetti-strap, asymmetric, deep v-neck, strapless, and boat neck. Top styles (5): blouson, wrap, flared, empire-waist, natural waist (none of this selection is natural-waist, but you can go for it). Skirts styles (3): with or without a vent, high-low. This means that you and your bridesmaids have 75 different options for the same length and color.

These days they are getting more and more popular. Millenial generation tends to prefer more informal weddings. On the other hand, these dresses are funnier and more comfortable, so your bridesmaids will enjoy double.

4. Elegant wrap knee length dresses
Classy, and stylish. We love this combo for a urban wedding, despite it can match any type of wedding. The wrap dress streamlines the body figure and, it could seem surprising, but the fact is that due to the fact that it wraps the body, it is flattering for any body shape. Choose different lengths for each dress in order to make it more comfortable for each of your bridesmaids, depending on how much leg they do want to show. Plus, it ads a beautiful diversity to the whole.

We start our first mix&match colors with this combo which combines diferent styles and lengths. It's one of our favourites. It's fresh, it's inclusive, it's diverse. Due to the fact that you are combining different tones, you can choose the one that goes better with skin and hair color of each of your brides. Plus, depending on each bridesmaid body type, you can go for one or another option. We want to highlight that there are two extreme dress styles,. The one in the left is bold, or even sassy, with generous deep v-neck and short skirt,. On the other hand, the one in the right, is elegant, maxi length and with just one long sleeve. Some would say it's a modest dress.
