Bridesmaid dresses - would these look odd?

I get married next year and I really wanted the different colour pastel dresses for my bridesmaids.
I’m really struggling to find 4 dresses, in 4 colours, in 4 sizes though! So I was thinking of having 4 colours and 2 styles. The pink & blue would be the style on the left, and lilac and mint green the style of the right. Would that look odd do you think?

TFNC do lots of dresses in the same style in different colours. X

What’s your budget op?

You either need identical colour/different styles or identical styles/different colour.

Anything else will just look like you've picked up whatever is available in the local charity shop.

I think with the ones you have in the picture, the pink looks a bit too peachy- it doesn't look quit right next to the purple one. The ones you had posted as examples had a much more baby pink colour.

The ones you have look OK as a set but you might need to think about colour combinations in terms of who is paired with who/stands next to each other in photos etc- unless the pink and purple combination is less jarring in real life than in your photo.

I'm also not one for everything matching- I think more than one style of dress would be fine as long as there wasn't an odd one out- I.e. 4 different styles or 2+2 would be fine, 3+1 would be odd.

I think those multi-way dresses will really date and go out of fashion very soon

They won’t be putting them on for every anniversary!

No, but I assume there might be one or two pics taken on the day.....

My budget is around £150 for all 4 dresses - so unfortunate very tight. These dresses were £65 each but I was lucky to catch them in the sales and got of them for £32, one for £52 and one for £45, so only slightly over budget.
The only other way I think I’m going to get matching dresses in pastel colours is ordering from China and I’m not sure I fancy that, at least I know if they’re from Debenhams and they don’t fit it’s easy to return.
It’s a bit disappointing about the though I agree. Thank you x
