Here in Chile we don’t have the “bridesmaid” tradition. Instead, there’s only a Maid of Honor, called a “Madrina”. What a bummer!! One of the really cool things about mixing traditions for the wedding is that I’m having bridesmaids!! Yay!

But from the beginning, I never liked the idea of having them all dress the same. Plus, I’ve never liked to tell anyone how to dress. But because it’s our wedding, I still want them to match, somehow.

It’s becoming more and more popular to have ‘maids dressed differently—either in different dresses that are the same color, or in completely different dresses and shades that are still in the wedding palette.

I thought about how to manage that, because I don’t want my BMs to purchase a dress that they are not going to wear again. Let’s be real—not everyone is into purple like I am!! So, I thought about making my bridesmaids’ dresses.

I think this could be a really cool idea because they would get the dress they want, cheaply. They’ll be completely unique and personalized, and I could try to make them match somehow - I would really like them in different purple shades .

So, here’s my inspiration pictures for BM dresses:
