There are brides out there who love incorporating a ton of color into their big day. This bride and her bridesmaids committed to a bright pastel color palette, and they didn’t look back. All these ’60s dresses match, with their signature sheer cape and pleated skirt look. The main thing that stands out about them is their vibrant, mismatched colors.
Every woman in this photo represents a distinct Skittle flavor. Lemon yellow, grape purple, and lime green are our particular favorites. They even went so far as to match the bouquet ribbons and hats to the exact shade of the dresses. If it wasn’t so overwhelming to look at, we’d be impressed.
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.
Grab Your Hardhats, Ladies!
This is a unique wedding if we’ve ever seen one. This bride and groom tied the knot 300 feet underground in a former South Wales coal mine. How romantic. With the unusual ceremony location came unusual attire for everyone involved. First off, the bride broke with tradition and wore a pretty red gown instead. The bridesmaids wore gorgeous emerald green dresses to accompany her into the depths of the earth.
The thing is, these bridesmaids didn’t have to worry too hard about their hair or accessories. Instead of necklaces and delicate heels, these ladies wore hard hats and emergency gas masks. There’s nothing like a potential gas mask emergency during a romantic wedding ceremony. Plus, each hard hat was accessorized with a fashionable headlamp to illuminate their way through the mineshaft.
Feeling Big-Headed
Fashionable hats were the norm back in the day. Women would always perfectly match their hats with their dresses, creating a glamorous, elegant look that many of us envy today. The hats these two bridesmaids wore to a wedding certainly match their ensembles. But it doesn’t look great. Just look how giant those hats are!
Was the theme of the wedding “Little Bo Peep” because that’s the only explanation we can think of for such a fashion choice. Along with those puffy sleeves and old-fashioned buttons, it’s almost too much to look at. At least they had some early form of a sun visor during the course of the ceremony and reception. You know, in case it was sunny outside.
