053 - The trend I love

Here in Chile we don’t have the “Brides Maid” tradition, there’s only a Maid of Honor call “Madrina” and would be it! - I know!! What a bummer :( … Now in my case that’s one of the really cool things of mixing traditions for the wedding!! I’m having Maids!! Yay!

But from the beginning I never liked the idea of having them all dress the same, plus I never liked to tell anyone how to dress, but it’s our wedding, I still want them to match somehow.

I’ve seen a lot of post and it’s becoming more and more popular to have maids dressed differently, either different dresses, same color; or completely different dressed and shades, but still on the wedding palette. I couldn’t agree more on both of them starting on the fact that NOT every shape is flattering to every type of body, plus not everyone has the same taste regarding to dresses.

I thought about how to manage that because I don’t want them to purchase a dress that they are not going to wear again - Let’s be real, not everyone is into purple like I am!! So I came to the idea of making them the dresses. Yup I don’t know when thought because I still can’t finish my own wedding dress!

I think this could be a really cool idea because they would get the dress they want, really cheap, completely unique and personalized and I could try to make them match somehow - I would really liked them on different purple shades :) .

So here my BM's picture inspiration:

    I also felt that I didn't want them to match but when one of them wanted something very short and reveling I changed my mind. They are all wearing the same dress but I told them to wear whatever shoes and accessories they want. They can also do their hair any way they want. I like that people chose different dresses though.

About this blog


I am a Spanish speaker and I started this blog as a way to learn English, I was blogging from Chile while we waited on our Visa process so I could move to California and we could have our green and purple wedding. So a big portion of this planning happened while we were still dating long distance.
