Bridesmaid Dress and Wedding Gown Pairings

Your bridesmaid dresses should complement, not clash with, your gown. Fair enough—but now what? Start by taking a close look at your gown's fabric, feel, and formality, and use our pairings to help you determine a shopping strategy.

A ballgown in an airy fabric like tulle requires a bridesmaid dress in a lightweight fabric, like chiffon (satin, for example, would be too heavy and rich). And the to-the-floor length and dark hue of this bridesmaid dress hold up to the wedding gown's air of black-tie formality.
