One great idea for giving your bridal party some slack is to allow them to decide on their suits or dresses within a certain colour range. Some couples may even prefer to offer a specific colour but allow for variation on anything else. Not only can this ensure your bridal squad’s comfort, but it can also offer a striking visual dynamic.

Alternatively, you can also dress your bridal party in a similar style of outfit with a range of colours. This can be a fantastic choice for couples with a range of wedding colours or who want to go for complementary shades in their decor and outfits.

Of course, your bridal squad won’t all be wearing dresses — or perhaps, nobody wants to wear a dress. Gender expression and personal style can go a range of ways, and if you have suited members of your bridal squad, a simple suit with a shirt and tie can do the trick — and look effortlessly chic while doing it.

If you’d rather make a splash with your wedding apparel, you can always go for a range of patterns that can make your bridal squad look absolutely vibrant. From suits to dresses, you can go for florals, stripes or even polka-dots if you choose! This can be a great way to make your bridal party look uniform, even if they aren’t wearing the exact same pattern.

Perhaps you want to look completely simple. The best way to do that is to simply instruct your bridal squad to show up in a range of neutral colours. Some bridal parties choose to have their squads show up in all black for a sleek and sophisticated look.
