With sizes from XS to 5X, I’m picturing a whole slew of BB-8, Stormtrooper, and Kylo Ren-inspired bridesmaids.

One thing we know: matching wedding party fashion is SO not required anymore. I’d say about half of the weddings we receive as submissions stray from the matchy-matchy tradition in favor of mismatched wedding parties. They range from mildly varied fashion to wildly different looks, and we love them all. Let’s travel down memory lane to revisit some of our very favorite mismatched wedding parties
