It’s a bit bold and a tad daring, but we at idojour.com love the idea of brides dressing their 'maids in pretty frocks with prints and patterns. The big question is, how do you work with prints as part of a cohesive look, especially when you factor multiple girls, shoes and flowers? We decided to ask the folks at Ellis Flowers for their expert advice on what accessories they would pair with these five very different but beautiful looks.

Printed Blues

When working with graphic pattern, such as these gorgeous blue dresses, it's best to accessorize with a single color. We love the idea of pairing these dresses with a bold contrasting color, like orange.

Nudes

Keep things soft and feminine with this nude color palette, mixing prints and texture with solids of ivories with beige and light pinks. This look is all about understated elegance.

Purples

Pale yellow is a wonderful complementary color for purple that doesn’t take away from the loudness of the hue. Pair these long gowns with a dainty sandals for a stunning look.

Peacock

We were inspired by the striking colors of these incredible BCBG gowns. Paired with stilettos and bouquets of pale pink and sage green, these dresses make for a dreamy evening wedding look.

Yellow and Gray

Yellow is a popular choice for bridesmaids and we absolutely adore the combination of yellow and gray. Add florals and plaid, some silver heels and a bouquet of yellows and greens, and we have preppy and chic perfection!
