Mix-and-match bridesmiad gowns are awesome, theoretically: Your friends probably have different physical structure and comfort levels, and also you want every last one of 'em to feel gorgeous. That said, mix-and-match can easily turn into a major headache. (The bride is vetoing anything that isn't the EXACT right shade of pale peacock blue, and her bridesmaids keep suggesting bridesmaid dresses that might be more appropriate for any rave than the usual wedding reception.)

Here's the painless/brainless method to keep everyone happy.

Weddington Way (which knows a few things about bridesmiad gowns—see here) just ended up its line of bridesmiad gowns with a whole couple of styles and colors. All the bride needs to do is choose a color, and every 'maid picks her favorite mother of the bride pantsuits. The dresses start at $150 and max out at $175 AND six from the styles are rentable for any mere $75. Every silhouette is wedding-friendly, and also the colors match overall. It's win-win-win-win-win.

Here are six of my top picks in Plum Perfect, that is, um, plum perfect for any fall or winter wedding.

Are you doing mix-and-match bridesmiad gowns? Which of those dresses is the favorite?
