3 Bridesmaid Dress Trends We’re Loving for 2025 Weddings
Trending Bridesmaid Dress Color Combos We’re Loving Right Now
By Bridget Couwenhoven, Minneapolis Wedding Photographer
One of the best parts of photographing weddings is seeing how each couple brings their unique style to life—and bridesmaid dress choices are no exception. From the color palette to the textures and silhouettes, your bridal party can be a stunning reflection of your overall wedding vibe.
As a Minneapolis wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky to capture weddings that are warm, candid, and authentically modern. This season, I’ve noticed a few standout bridesmaid dress trends that are not only stylish but also photograph beautifully. Whether you're planning a downtown Minneapolis wedding or an intimate outdoor celebration in the woods of Minnesota, these trending color combos are sure to elevate your bridal party’s look.
1. Mismatched Green Dresses
Green is having a major moment, and we’re not just talking about sage (although it’s still a favorite!). From olive and forest to emerald and mint, mismatched green dresses are everywhere—and for good reason. The variety adds a natural depth to photos while still feeling cohesive.
When your bridesmaids wear different shades and styles, it gives them room to show off their personalities while staying on-theme. The result? A look that feels effortless, earthy, and elevated. Plus, green tones play beautifully with the lush landscapes Minnesota weddings are known for.
Photographer Tip: Greens pop against both floral backdrops and urban architecture, making them an ideal choice for any venue.
2. Floral Patterns Mixed with Solids
Looking to add a playful twist to a classic look? Mixing floral patterned dresses with solid colors is a fresh and modern approach. Think a few bridesmaids in soft, romantic florals while others wear complementary solid hues—like blush, mauve, or dusty blue.
This combination adds visual interest and movement to your wedding party portraits. It’s also a great way to subtly tie in your bouquet and overall wedding color palette without overwhelming the eye.
Photographer Tip: Florals and solids together create stunning variety in group shots, and the mix of textures adds a level of detail that feels whimsical and editorial.
3. Neutral Nude Dresses
There’s something timeless and chic about neutral nude tones. Whether you’re going for champagne, taupe, beige, or soft mocha, this palette feels both modern and romantic. These tones work beautifully with warm golden-hour light—perfect for that authentic and candid photography style I love to capture.
Neutral dresses also provide the perfect canvas for bold florals, statement accessories, or textured bouquets. And if you're into a minimal, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic (which always feels at home here in Minneapolis), this look is a no-brainer.
Photographer Tip: Nudes and neutrals photograph best in soft, natural light—think early evening or golden hour. They blend beautifully into film-like tones and give portraits a timeless feel.
Final Thoughts
Whatever bridesmaid dress palette you choose, the most important thing is that it feels like you. These trending color combinations bring beauty, personality, and a sense of modern romance to your big day—and they make for some seriously stunning photos.
If you’re planning a wedding and want images that feel authentic, warm, and full of life, I’d love to be a part of your day. As a Minneapolis wedding photographer, I specialize in capturing candid moments that feel like you—at your best, your realest, and your most in love.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
