Tradition is one thing that has certainly been creeping down to a second place position when it comes to what a bride wants for her special day – and bridesmaids dresses are no exception to this rule! Brides have been encouraging their bridesmaids to hold more reigns in choosing their looks. With all of the different bridesmaids trends popping up, here are our top 5 picks.

Cohesive and elegant has been the mantra for most bridesmaids dresses in the past. While there are still plenty of ways to mix tradition with uniqueness, these bridesmaids have taken the cake for diversity. They’ve definitely put together the perfect “mismatched” spin we all love. As long as you have a group of girls who can appreciate fashion, think outside of the box, and understand the importance of matching the theme, you are set. Who said your bridesmaids have to all wear the same thing? This is 2018 and bridesmaids are bringing the HEAT!
