mismatched-bridesmaids

Who says you need matchy-matchy bridesmaids? We love it when bridesmaids get to pick out their own dresses, and this whole archive full of real wedding pictures with bridesmaids wearing non-matching dresses. You might always want to check out our more general bridesmaid posts, including our awful-but-necessary How to fire a bridesmaid. Wait and what about groomsgirls? If you’re going that route, be sure to check out our mixed-gender wedding party posts.

‘Stina & Graham’s DIY country ranch wedding

This pair tackled tons of DIY projects, battled some very inconsistent weather, and had to cater a party in the middle of the country. But you’d never know these were even challenges when you see the awesome Mexican catering, the cool ambiance (event producer groom FTW!), and the lovely weather. These photos give off one theme more than any other: FUN.

Danielle & Gonzalo’s bilingual dance party wedding

This wedding was held at one of our favorite venues in Seattle, Urban Light Studios, and had some amazing Mexican, Irish, and Lithuanian influences. You’ll also want to see the kick-ass dessert bar, crowd surfing groom, and a dress emergency!

Funky reception dancing, a speech with props, and a Ron Swanson painting guest book

Crystal and Richie sneak a smooch behind a great Neil Gaiman book. We’ve also got some funky reception dancing, a speech with props, and a Ron Swanson guestbook painting. It’s a wacky week in reader submissions and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Laura & Mark’s Australian High Country wilderness wedding

We all flipped for the photo of Laura and Mark traversing the Snowy Mountains in their purple and black duds in a recent Monday Montage. This wedding is just lovely from start to finish. And thankfully, despite the flower girl’s worries, there was no dinosaur attack, just a whole lot of horses milling about.
