For as long as anyone can remember, bridesmaids dresses have had a very specific definition. They've been the same solid color in the same style dress. More recently though, we've seen trends that are breaking the bridesmaid dress stereotype: the same dress in different colors, or the same color in different styles.
Despite the trend of different colors or different style dresses, one thing has remained. Bridesmaid dresses are notoriously a solid color. I love this bride from Alabama, who chose a printed dress for her maids:

This look is fresh and fun, and it's the repeating pattern that brings it all together. While striking on multiple ladies standing together, the dresses would not exude such a dramatic effect in a single-maid wedding. The best part about adopting this look is that you can be sure your maids will get additional use out of their dresses. A maid who won't throw her dress in a closet never to be seen again is a very happy maid.
I love these dresses from Anthropologie. In the right setting these dresses can be sensational.
So don't be afraid to break out of the wedding box! It is the unconventional details that make your wedding extraordinary.

I LOVE those dresses! I think it makes your pictures so much better too. They don't look like everyone else's photos.
