Styling Your Wedding Party


A trend that many brides are thinking of adapting, is styling their wedding party in different dresses. This can mean contrasting fabrics, colours or even styles - all of which create depth and individuality. Choosing mismatched dresses allows you to cater to each girls silhouette, style and even budget. There are just a few things to keep in mind when doing so:

1. Choose a colour palette for your wedding. Pick colours that compliment eachother, and ones that you can incorporate throughout your big day - flowers, shoes, accessories, groomsmen attire etc...

2. Decide on either short or long lengths. Having at least the same length in your mismatched dresses will still create a nice balance and look best in photos.

3. Once you start to find dresses you like, create a mood board. Cut out photos and place them together to see how you like the look of them as a group. Try on samples and ask to see fabric swatches.

If this is something you are interested in for your nuptials, we'd be more than happy to help. With an ample collection of dresses, the team at NWL is knowledgeable in each brands colour, fabric and style choices, making the process easy. See some inspirational photos below, as well as some of our most popular bridesmaid gowns in store.

02.15.2014

Jill & Taylor were married in lovely February ceremony at the Mackenzie Art Gallery, followed by a reception at the RCMP Heritage Center. 

When RCMP Officer Taylor Mills was posted to Fort Qu'Appelle, he rented the home next door to Jill's family cabin - she was literally the girl next door. After two years of friendship, Taylor finally asked Jill on a date, thus the beginning of their love story. Two and a half years later they were engaged, and another year after, married.

Here is their day in photos...


















Jill chose her dress with the help of Amanda of NWL. Together they decided not only on her dress, but also those of the bridesmaids and her accessories.

Congratulations Jill & Taylor, Thank-you for sharing your love story!

Jill's Dress - Justin Alexander Style 8557
Bridesmaids - Impressions Style 20015
Veil & Earrings - Laura Jayne
Headband - Jade Daniels
