No one bridesmaid is alike - why should their dresses not fit their unique personalities? Break away from the traditional bridesmaid dresses and give them options! We see more brides giving their bridesmaids color palettes and swatches and letting them go wild with their dress choice!

 The Dessy Collection has so many dress styles to choose from! We carry this collection at our boutique in Asheville and brides and bridesmaids love this designer for their large selection of dresses.

 Staying within the same color family allows brides to fit into the color theme but lets them pic dresses that work for their body type and price range!

 A great way to get the mismatched look is to give your bridesmaids a list of dress styles to choose from that you handpicked and they can decide which dress works best with their body type.

Something Blue

Something old, something new, something borrow and... SOMETHING BLUE! Many brides like to keep this tradition alive for their big day but also seem to struggle with what they should use for each good luck charm!

 

It is considered to be simpler to include something old, say your grandmother's necklace, something new could be your wedding dress or new shoes, something borrowed could be a friend or relative's earrings! But when it comes to something blue, the ideas are limitless! Include a small blue heart from a loved one's shirt, have your bridesmaids write cute notes on the bottom of your shoes in blue ink or even use delicate blue hair accessories for that added pop of color!

This wedding tradition came from an Old English rhyme "Something olde, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe" and are considered to be good luck charms when the bride wears or carries these items with her on her wedding day.

Something old represents continuity; something new offers optimism for the future; something borrowed symbolizes borrowed happiness from perhaps a loved one or friend; something blue stands for purity, love, and fidelity; and a sixpence in your shoe is a wish for good fortune and prosperity which is usually not included in wedding talk.
