The key is to <em>mimic<\/em> the embellishment without copying it outright. If your gown features beading and embroidery, for example, consider bridesmaid dresses with pleats or layered fabric instead \u2014 it nods to your style without duplicating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more rule for embellished gowns: avoid harsh colours or dramatic cuts on the bridesmaids.
