    I will say first off, whatever you want, you should do. Ultimately you need to be happy with your choice. It is your wedding.

    However, if you want a 3rd party opinion, I personally think 4 different dresses in 4 different colours is much much much too busy/distracting. I'm more prone to more subtle integration of wedding themes... by colour palette or plays on traditional decor with your theme... not too gimicky or over the top...

    I understand what you mean about how "personalities" or characters of different houses wouldn't all wear the same style, but when it comes down to it, they aren't characters, they are your bridesmaids.

    Harry Potter is still going to be a classic in 20, 30, or 40 years... so I looove the theme idea, but you may look back at the photos and regret not going for a more classic look.

    However, if it's your dream, and you love it, go for it. As you plan, you may find you change a few ideas, or adjust, but ultimately you should just feel happy and confident of your choice!! Good luck! Smiley smile

    I was thinking kinda like this because each house has it's own characteristics like a slytherin wouldn't wear something a Hufflepuff would

    Do you have exactly 4 bridesmaids? If so, you could definitely pull it off. OR, go for a neutral colour? Silver or black? Then have them have a sash/belt in the colour... That way there isn't one girl "stuck" with a yellow dress... Although maybe one of your girls can totally pull it off, in which case, go for it.

    I would say if you're gonna do 4 bold colours like that, make sure they are all in the same style dress. David's Bridal would probably be best, because you'll have a big colour selection to narrow down your exact shades you want. You also don't need to go Crayola colour bold, it can be a bit more whimsical/soft colours, but definitely in the red/blue/green/yellow shades.

    SOOOO... I did a little mock-up for you... Because I really wanted to see what it would look like... Haha. My girls just got there dresses in the past week, so I've been in David's Bridal 3 times in 10 days. I also have a winter wedding, so I went with something a little more seasonally appropriate.

    Also, one's with the yellow colour... but your 'Hufflepuff' girl, could also wear black... Which would look reeeeally sleek with these dark colours.

    The second set of dresses is one of my girls dress. It's super cute, with pockets and a slit. The charmeuse bottom is really nice/classy for winter.

    I would say the same style of dress (like maybe the same length and sleeves/caps if there are).

    I think either having them the same or different would work! BUT, I like the idea of having them in the same dress and different colours only because then it looks more on purpose and not like they just picked a random dress to wear.

    I personally think that would be awesome, but only if you have bridesmaids that can pull off the colours. Mainly the yellow! Red, green and blue are quite easy to work with when it comes to suiting people but yellow is less universal and flatters darker skin tones.
