One of the most vital parts to a well styled wedding has to do with the bridal party. Not only do they need to coordinate with each other, but they need to be coordinated to the bride too.
There are a few different ways to style your bridesmaids for a wedding, in a beautiful way.
For more formal weddings, brides like to style each bridesmaid exactly the same. This can be boring though, consider that it might be fun to have an aspect of their outfits slightly different from each other in order to express their personality. Possibly different styles of heels or hairstyles and hair accessories.
For more casual weddings, it has been a trend to have the bridesmaids in mismatched, and more casual outfits. But if there is no common element between them, this can look tacky. My advice for something more casual is to make sure the silhouette, length, and the fabrics of the dresses are the same, maybe with all different necklines. They don't have to all be the same shade of a color or even the same color, infact if they don't all match perfectly it can give dimension to your party, but they have to at least look like they belong together. If you let your bridesmaids go wild and pick whatever they want, make sure the dresses are all at least solid colors, ending up with one or two bridesmaids in a printed dress will look tacky, if you are going to go with prints, they must all be in the same print.
Always consider the type of fabric the brides dress is and the silhouette. A well styled wedding won't have drastically different styles between the bride and her bridesmaids; they should coordinate with each other, and always match the theme of the wedding.
The groomsmen are a little more boring. They usually wear a tux or a suit so you don't have much to worry about as far as styling them. They should always have the same tux or suit on, but what's underneath can vary depending on your wedding theme.
Keep in mind that bow ties are the fanciest choice. But ties or vests are not always necessary.
A fun idea for a more casual and fun wedding is having the boys wear graphic tees that match the wedding colors underneath the jackets.
If your wedding has two colors consider having the men in one and the girls in the other. Sometimes a fun twist is to switch the colors of the maid of honor and the best man.
There are many more possibilities with your bridal party. It is definitely an important aspect to making sure your wedding is well coordinated, but you also have many options.

Mismatched bridesmaids dresses done well:
These are the same color and fabric, similar lengths but different styles. They also match well with the style of the brides dress, flowy and light.
These dresses are very whimsical and different. They all are in the same style and similar fabrics but all a little bit different. The printed fabric used is seen in all of the dresses, but in a different location. This works for the right wedding theme!
Another play on mismatched dresses. The same dress in different wedding colors, from silver to slate gray, dark blue-green and purple. Very fun idea.
