Gardens provide some of the most scenic venues for weddings and offer a unique opportunity to have a little fun with bridesmaid dresses. They're the perfect place to incorporate color (be it bold jewel tones or pretty pastels) and print. In 2023, mixing and matching your wedding party attire is ultra on-trend, and garden wedding bridesmaid dresses are an ideal canvas for this concept.
Some pro tips for mixing patterns: Set a general color palette for your crew and let them choose their own gorgeous floral gown within that range; the variety of motifs will add interest and dimension to your lineup. Or, if your bridal party has a lot of members, choose a few ladies to mix in solid hues: sage, lilac and dusty rose—just about any hue with a floral name—make great unifiers. Consider the season for your wedding, as well. While garden environments often evoke images of spring, many locales offer garden settings year-round. Opt for subdued, watercolor pastels in the early spring, vibrant hues for summer and darker florals for fall and winter.

Garden weddings often evoke images of flowy, bohemian dresses, but we say, why not embrace something more fitted? This stretch matte jersey dress from Eloquii is a perfect example: It's classy and chic at the same time, and the petal pink hue will mesh beautifully into a garden setting. The geometric neckline and strong shoulder are modern details.

Sage is having a major moment, and this silk style puts a floral twist on the trend. The off-the-shoulder silhouette has a fitted bodice, flutter sleeves and chic ruffle tier at the bottom; and, it pairs well with other styles from the label.

A super trendy cutout silhouette meets Jenny Yoo's timeless fabrication in this gown—rendered in a shade named for a flower, no less. The fully adjustable fitted halter neckline is offset by a slinky, flowing skirt cut on the bias. We'd pair it with a glittering necklace and jewel-encrusted heels.

Pro tip: If you're looking for patterned dresses that don't divert too much attention, search for watercolor-inspired prints; they're subtle and soft while still incorporating pattern. This one is made from a pleated lightweight sheer organza, over top of an ivory lining. The bustier bodice and sweetheart neckline are über-romantic details. And, if you're doing mix-and-match, it pairs well with solids in any of the hues featured in the pattern: pastel pink, champagne and sage green.

What we love most about V. Chapman is the unique detail bestowed upon each dress: a wide belt in the same fabrication, beaded trim along a cutout and perfectly placed ties and tiers. With this on-trend multitiered style, it's the elastic ruching throughout that sets it apart. (And, the stretchy material makes sizing easier.) The print and silhouette are as feminine as your garden setting.

On trend yet timeless, this gown has a one-shoulder silhouette and flowy chiffon skirt; both are airy details ideal for outdoor wedding bridesmaid dresses. It's available in literally dozens of hues—you can create a veritable bouquet with French Lilac, Wisteria, Violet and Peony—but we love the poppy Primrose pink. Plus, what bridesmaid doesn't love a dress with pockets?

We love the unique silhouette of this full cupcake midi skirt accented by crisp pleats. Both the silhouette and watery floral print exude garden party whimsy. Pair it with strappy sandals with a block heel, the better to walk over grass in. Pro tip: The organdy material has no stretch, so the label recommends ordering one size up—it's much easier to take a dress in than to let it out.

Extra long sashes attach to the bodice of this fun jumpsuit so bridesmaids can mix it up: The sashes can be tied and worn as a one-shoulder style, off-the-shoulder, strapless, halter and more. It's a great option for a large bridal party, as each girl can wear the bodice silhouette that suits her best.

Outdoor weddings on the border of seasons (think: early spring or late fall) call for bridesmaid dresses with long sleeves, just in case there is a chill in the air. We love this satin option in oh-so-pretty periwinkle, complete with a surplice bodice and flounce skirt. The blouson sleeves, fitted at the wrist, draw interest and add practicality.

A just-above-the-ankle dress length is perfect for an outdoor garden wedding: It's effortless and casual and lacks a train to drag through the grass. This one gets an update with a soft ruffle at the hem and a modern fitted sweetheart bodice with spaghetti straps. Azazie is known for its abundance of color options—this style is available in 72 hues!—but we love this vibrant yellow.
