What do you think of this bridesmaids look (totally different dresses)

I’m having a Summer wedding in a beautiful manicured garden (weather permitting - it is abroad so very likely)

I have come across this image and think it’s just lovely. I had been looking at various shades of teal. So don’t know if I am drawn to this style just because I am over looking at blue dresses or if I genuinely prefer it.

What do you think? I will have 4 bridesmaids

I really don’t like many dresses labelled “bridesmaids” dresses so it appeals that I can just give each bridesmaid a colour and they can find a knockout dress in said colour

Personally, I'd have the same dress in various colours- so all pastels, or shades of teal etc. A mix of colours and styles looks messy IMO, but its obviously up to you.

Or, have some form of consistency- all full length and strapless, all knee length with cap sleeves or all the same colour etc.

They are lovely dresses. The problem I suppose is that you could get four hugely clashing styles. I wouldn’t personally care much about this but it would matter to some.

What’s the budget you’re giving them?

I think it looks really pretty, but agree all different colours and same tone, you couldn't have all pastel and a red for example.

I love this. I like all the different colours. My sister had 6 bridesmaids, we all choose our own dresses in cream. I think it’s a great idea, congratulations.

I think it's a great idea.
Much better the bridesmaids have dresses they love and that suit them.

Identical dresses rarely suit all.

Really nice. I don’t think there is a single colour or style on earth that suits everyone so letting them choose is great. I do think it’s better to have all different colours though rather than, say two green, one blue and one pink.

Enjoy

A mix of colours are nice I was at a wedding where the bridesmaids were in different colours, from the same Palette or is it spectrum? Anyway it looked lovely, those styles though don't go with those
