Colour Co-ordination

This is what most of us opt for straight away. Pick either a colour and find dresses or lehengas in that particular colour or you could go for different shades within that colour. Either way, these are great for photos and colour coordination will ensure everyone knows exactly who you are! ;)
Comfy But Beautiful

Opt for practical options when it comes to picking an outfit for your bridesmaid. They may be running around quite a bit, so go for something light, comfy, fuss-free but still pretty - obviously! Crop tops and skirts can be worn again and again so big time, value for money! Jumpsuits also fit the bill or just plain fluffy dresses!
Be Unique, Colour-block Differently

Do something out of the box and ditch the whole matchy-matchy look! Whatever is out of the ordinary should be your first pick. The bride can put on some colour from her bridesmaids or bridesmaids can wear shiny party dresses.
Quirky & Bold

Be bold, opt for loads of colour and designs. If your group of girls are willing to show some skin - come up with an outfit accordingly! In a way, all the colours can come in beautifully so you guys stand out!
Pick a Colour, Change Up Silhouettes
When you choose a colour for your bridesmaids, make sure they pick the style and silhouette they want. If it's fuchsia, then embrace all kinds of fashion - from kanjeevarams to anarkalis to crop tops.
Accessorize to Match

Your clothes might not seal the deal that you belong in the bridal squad but how about using fun accessories to match. In this case, we loved how the bride got all her friends John Lennon reflective sunnies - they all match!
Get Your Culture
This gujju - marwari wedding had all the lehenriya fun you ever saw. So if your culture and tradition is known for a particular type of sari, then go show that off!
Go for Different Hemlines & Necklines

Well, maxi or skater or mini dresses, every girl loves a different hemline so give them what they want. It adds variety to your pictures and well, you're not troubling them too much.
Wear Your Favourite Designer
Well, take inspiration from these girls and go crazy over your favourite designer. Because the style sensibilities are the same, a stylish eye can see that you guys belong to the same family.
Wear a Safa as an Effortless Way To Showcase Style
Well, everyone wants to wear what they like I guess so what do you do? Add your wedding colour in the form of a safa, and yes, girls wear safas do.
Change Those Dupattas
Use the same colours but go crazy with dupattas to add an individualistic touch to each girl. Win - win!
Keep Them in the Same Colour Family
You can pick a few colours from the spectrum and bam, oranges, peaches, pinks and reds - out they come so it looks fun!
Keep The Blouses Crazy
The same sari might just be a great idea but everyone can pick a blouse that suits their style - sweet and traditional!
Match The Bride
Match the bride in a more subtler, sweeter silhouette. Same colours but a lighter version!
