It’s rare to see color photos from the 60s, but they do exist. This bride was lucky enough to snap a color photo with her bridesmaids during her wedding. Lucky for us, this color photo gives us a glimpse into the true color choices for these boho bridesmaid dresses. We’re guessing this bride was into free love and hippie culture because these dresses are very boho-chic.
Okay, “chic” is a stretch, but it’s definitely “a look,” if you know what we mean. The white eyelet tops are cute, but the bottoms of the dresses look like handmade aprons instead of skirts. Did everyone start cooking in the kitchen after this photo was taken?
When Coordination Goes Too Far
Some brides love to have their bridesmaids match each other to a tee. Oftentimes they’re required to wear the same dress, shoes, and jewelry to create a cohesive look. But having matching hair? That’s taking it a step too far into the uncanny valley. For whatever reason, these bridesmaids all had to wear the same brown wig to their friend’s wedding.
This looks like a weird music video instead of a wedding photoshoot. It’s so obvious that these girls are all wearing wigs. Let’s just say that not everyone is meant to rock bangs. Do you know what would be extra weird? If these bridesmaids had to wear these wigs to match the bride’s hair.
Jane Austen But Make It Neon
We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again. Satin is not your friend. This photo of very early 2000s bridesmaids proves our point. The dresses are puff-sleeve, empire waist gowns that would look kind of cute if it weren’t for the extra shiny satin fabric. Despite what some people think, shiny does not equal fancy.
The white lace trim is almost cute, but it looks more “DIY” than anything. These ladies look pretty happy to be posing with each other, so at least they had fun at the wedding. This is just one of those looks that they’ll look back on and think, “Why did we think it was a good idea to wear that?” It happens to the best of us.
An Off-Key Bridesmaid Look
It’s always exciting when celebrities get married. Who doesn’t love looking at super-expensive dresses and decor, passing judgment from the comfort of our tiny apartments? We sure do. Canto-pop star Gillian Chung Yan-tung and Michael Lai got married in 2018 in an illustrious Los Angeles ceremony. Gillian wore a dress by Kate Middleton’s favorite designer, Jenny Packham.
Her bridesmaids were not so lucky. Her sister and best friends were in her bridal party, but their dresses didn’t outshine the bride’s look. Unfortunately, there’s just too much glitter and too many ruffles going on with these dresses. These ladies are all wearing the same over-the-top dress, so they all look like they’re conjoined at the shoulders. The blush pink color is beautiful, but the silhouette just isn’t working.
A Pastel Rainbow
If you’re currently planning a wedding and want to avoid your bridesmaids looking like Easter eggs, don’t pick pastel colors. Pastels are nice, in theory. But in reality, they usually just make everyone look like the Easter Bunny threw up on them. That’s what happened to these unfortunate souls. The white corset tops and pastel skirts don’t look flattering on any of them.
Maybe the bride and groom had their wedding around Easter and wanted to plan accordingly. If so, these ladies had their Easter Sunday attire all lined up. There’s nothing like repurposing a bad bridesmaid dress into an even worse holiday outfit. At least they had some champagne to keep them company and help them cope.
