The Art of Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses & How to Achieve the Look

At Move Mountains Co., we’ve seen countless trends come and go, but one that has truly captivated brides in recent years is the artful approach to mismatched bridesmaid dresses. While some brides still want their bridesmaids to wear identical gowns, more and more couples are opting for a mix of patterns, textures, and styles, all unified by a cohesive color palette. This trend not only allows for individuality but also adds visual interest and depth to your wedding photos.

Why This Trend Works

The beauty of mismatched bridesmaid dresses lies in their versatility. By selecting dresses in the same color family but varying the patterns and textures, you create a look that is both cohesive and dynamic. This trend allows your bridesmaids to choose a dress that flatters their unique body type and style, making them feel more comfortable and confident on your big day.

If you want your maid of honor to stand out, consider a dress in a slightly different shade or a unique pattern within the same color palette. Another option is to add distinctive accessories like a statement necklace, a floral crown, or a more intricate bouquet. These subtle differences will highlight her special role while still maintaining the overall harmony of your bridal party’s look.

Brian and Libby’s wedding perfectly captured this trend. Libby's bridesmaids wore light blue dresses that beautifully complemented the wedding colors. Each dress had a unique cut, with some featuring solid colors and others adorned with sweet white floral patterns, all perfectly enhancing the springtime celebration:

Additionally, the visual appeal of mixed dresses creates a richer and more layered aesthetic, which translates beautifully in photos. When done right, this approach can elevate the entire bridal party's look, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe. At Luke and Cassie's wedding, the bridesmaids dazzled in a variety of green shades, with some donning floral patterns and others in solid colors. Each dress was uniquely cut, cocktail-length, and perfectly suited to match the personality and style of each bridesmaid:

How to Achieve the Mismatched Look

1. Choose a Color Palette: Start by selecting a color palette that complements your wedding theme. Whether you’re drawn to soft pastels, earthy tones, or bold jewel hues, the key is to stick to shades within the same family.

2. Mix Patterns and Textures: Once your palette is set, you can introduce variety through different fabrics and patterns. Think lace, chiffon, velvet, or even subtle prints like florals or polka dots. The variation in textures will add depth and keep the look from feeling flat.

3. Keep Some Elements Consistent: To maintain a sense of unity, consider keeping certain elements consistent across all dresses. This could be the dress length, the type of fabric, or even just the color intensity. For example, you might choose to have all your bridesmaids in floor-length gowns or all in muted tones of the same color.

4. Involve Your Bridesmaids: Allow your bridesmaids to have a say in their dresses. Provide them with the color palette and style guidelines, but let them choose the dress that suits them best. This not only ensures they’ll feel comfortable but also adds a personal touch to the bridal party’s look.

5. Accessorize Thoughtfully: Complete the look with accessories that tie everything together. Consider matching bouquets, similar hairstyles, or coordinating jewelry to add another layer of cohesion to the ensemble.

Real Weddings, Real Inspiration

At Move Mountains Co., we’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings where brides have masterfully executed this trend. Whether it’s a seaside ceremony with bridesmaids in varying shades of blue or a rustic barn wedding with earth-toned dresses, the results have always been stunning. These real-life examples serve as inspiration for how you can bring this trend to life on your wedding day. Taylor and Emily went for a unique look—Emily’s bridesmaids wore dresses in various greens, pinks, and blues, with different cuts and a mix of patterns and solids. The result was a spring garden party vibe, perfect for their May wedding:

The mismatched bridesmaid dress trend is more than just a passing fad; it’s a celebration of individuality and creativity. By thoughtfully mixing and matching dresses within a cohesive color palette, you can create a look that is uniquely yours. At Move Mountains Co.untains.co/, we’re here to capture every beautiful moment, ensuring your wedding day is as unforgettable in photos as it is in real life.

The Benefits of Bundling Photography & Videography Services

When planning your wedding, every detail is significant—from the venue to the flowers, the dress, and the guest list. But perhaps one of the most crucial decisions you'll make is how to preserve the memories of your big day. Photography and videography each offer unique, irreplaceable value, but when combined, they create something truly special. Couples like Morey + Sierra and James + Christina chose to entrust us with both their photo and video coverage, ensuring a seamless and beautifully cohesive experience from start to finish. Here’s why opting for a combined package might be the best decision for your wedding day:

1. Seamless Coordination

When you bundle photography and videography services, you're hiring a team that works together seamlessly. A photographer and videographer from the same company are accustomed to each other's styles and workflows. They can anticipate each other's moves, ensuring they capture every moment without getting in each other's way. This harmonious collaboration results in a smoother experience for you and a more cohesive final product.

2. Consistent Aesthetic

Every couple has a vision for their wedding day, and having a unified aesthetic across your photos and video can be crucial to realizing that vision. Bundling services means that your visuals will share a consistent style, color grading, and storytelling approach. This consistency enhances the overall impact of your wedding memories, creating a harmonious collection that feels thoughtfully curated.

3. Cost-Effective

Bundling services can often be more cost-effective than hiring separate vendors. Many companies offer package deals that provide significant savings compared to booking photography and videography services individually. This bundled approach not only saves you money but also time, as you won’t need to search for and coordinate with multiple vendors.

4. Streamlined Planning Process

Planning a wedding involves juggling countless details, so simplifying the process wherever possible is a huge advantage. When you book both photography and videography through the same company, you’ll have a single point of contact for both services. This streamlines communication reduces the potential for misunderstandings, and makes it easier to manage your timeline and expectations.

5. Enhanced Storytelling

Photography captures moments, while videography brings those moments to life. Together, they create a rich narrative of your wedding day that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. By bundling these services, you ensure that your story is told in the most dynamic and comprehensive way possible. The synergy between the two mediums allows for creative storytelling that captures the essence of your relationship and the magic of your day.

6. Peace of Mind

Finally, bundling your photography and videography services provides peace of mind. Knowing that a cohesive team is handling both aspects of your wedding’s visual documentation allows you to relax and enjoy your day, confident that your memories are in capable hands.

At Move Mountains Co., we believe in the power of storytelling and the importance of preserving every detail of your wedding day. Our bundled photography and videography services are designed to deliver a seamless, cohesive experience that honors your love story in the most beautiful way possible.

In addition to our bundled packages, we’re excited to also offer content creation services and photo albums ensuring that every aspect of your wedding memories is beautifully preserved. From the first look to the final dance, we’ve got you covered—capturing the moments you’ll cherish forever and creating keepsakes that will last a lifetime.

Groom’s Guide: Looking Your Best on the Big Day

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and as the groom, you'll want to look and feel your best. At Move Mountains Co., we know that getting camera-ready can seem daunting, but with the right preparation, you'll be ready to shine in front of the lens. See Mike get ready for his wedding as you read our comprehensive Groom’s Guide to ensure you look and feel your best for every captured moment on your big day.

1. Skincare Routine

Start Early: Ideally, start a skincare routine at least a few months before your wedding. Cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize daily to keep your skin clear and hydrated.

Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the weeks leading up to your wedding to maintain a healthy glow. Proper hydration is key to looking fresh and vibrant.

Professional Help: Consider visiting a dermatologist or esthetician for professional advice and treatments tailored to your skin type.

2. Grooming Essentials

Haircut: Schedule a haircut about a week before the wedding. This gives your hair a chance to settle and look natural. Avoid drastic changes; stick with a style you’re comfortable with.

Shaving: Decide whether you want to be clean-shaven or keep your facial hair. If shaving, do it the night before to avoid any redness or irritation. If you have facial hair, make sure it’s neatly trimmed.

Nails: Clean and trimmed nails are a must. Consider getting a professional manicure to ensure your hands look their best for close-up shots of the rings.

3. Attire Perfection

Tailored Suit: A well-fitted suit makes a world of difference. Ensure your suit is tailored to your measurements. Try it on a few days before the wedding to make sure everything fits perfectly.

Accessories: Don’t forget the details. Cufflinks, pocket squares, ties, and shoes should all complement your suit. Make sure everything is clean and polished.

Comfort: Break in your shoes before the wedding day to avoid discomfort. You’ll be on your feet a lot, and comfortable shoes will keep you smiling.

4. Healthy Lifestyle

Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Avoid excessive salt and sugar, which can cause bloating and breakouts.

Exercise: Regular exercise not only helps you look your best but also reduces stress. Focus on a mix of cardio and strength training.

Rest: Get plenty of sleep in the days leading up to your wedding. Being well-rested will help you look fresh and energized.

5. On the Big Day

Stay Calm: Nerves are natural, but staying calm will help you look relaxed and confident. Take deep breaths and focus on the joy of the day.

Touch-Up Kit: Keep a small kit with essentials like a comb, blotting papers, and lip balm to handle any last-minute touch-ups.

Smile: The most important accessory is your smile. Genuine smiles look great on camera and reflect the happiness of the day.

6. Practice Makes Perfect

Photo Practice: If you’re not used to being in front of the camera, practice posing and smiling in front of a mirror. This will help you feel more comfortable and natural on the big day.

Engagement Shoot: Consider having an engagement photo session. This is a great way to get used to being photographed and to build a rapport with your photographer.

At Move Mountains Co., we believe every groom deserves to look and feel his best on his wedding day. By following these tips, you’ll be camera-ready and confident, ensuring that every photo captures the true essence of your celebration. Remember, it’s your day too, and with a little preparation, you’ll be ready to shine as brightly as your bride.

Capturing a Lifetime: John + Daria's Journey with Move Mountains Co.

At Move Mountains Co., we have the privilege of capturing life’s most cherished moments, creating lasting memories that tell a unique and personal story. One such journey has been with John and Daria, a couple whose love and life we have documented through their engagement, wedding, and most recently, their newborn portrait session. The experience of being part of their significant life moments has been incredibly special and highlights the importance of having the same photographer throughout these milestones.

Where it all started

Our journey with John and Daria began with their engagement photos in the fall of 2021 in New York City. The excitement and anticipation of their future together were palpable, and we were honored to capture those emotions. The engagement session allowed us to get to know them as a couple, understanding their style, personalities, and the unique bond they share.

From Engagement to Wedding

Their wedding day, in the summer of 2022 at Cruiseport Gloucester, was a beautiful continuation of this story. Having already built a rapport with John and Daria during the engagement shoot, we knew exactly how to capture their special day in a way that felt authentic and meaningful to them. The trust and comfort they had in us allowed for genuine, candid moments, resulting in photos that truly reflected their love and joy.

Welcoming a New Life

Recently, we had the incredible honor of photographing John and Daria's newborn portrait session. Seeing them transition from newlyweds to parents has been a heartwarming experience. Their newborn session was filled with tender moments and the profound love they have for their new baby. Capturing the same couple in different stages of their life adds a layer of continuity and intimacy to the photos, creating a visual narrative that spans years.

The Importance of Consistency

Having the same photographer document these key moments in life offers numerous benefits. Firstly, there’s a level of comfort and familiarity that can’t be replicated. John and Daria were already at ease with us, which allowed for more natural and relaxed photos. They didn’t have to start from scratch with a new photographer, explaining their preferences and getting accustomed to a different style.

Additionally, the consistency in photography style ensures a cohesive look across all the important milestones. The photos from their engagement, wedding, and newborn session all harmonize, creating a beautiful and unified collection that tells their unique story. This consistency is something that future generations will cherish as they look back on the family’s history.

A Special Bond

Being part of John and Daria’s journey has been a testament to the special bond that forms when a photographer is there to capture life’s most important moments. It’s a relationship built on trust, familiarity, and mutual respect. For us at Move Mountains Co., it’s more than just taking pictures—it’s about creating a visual legacy that families can treasure forever.
