Say you're the architectural type and dramatic modernism is your style. Frippery and florals just won't do but on the other hand, you don't want your wedding photos to look like a scene out of Star Trek! Dresses with clean, sweeping lines, elegant drapery, and sleek silhouettes can lend a thoroughly urban modern look to your bridesmaids. Also, skip any kind of overly stiff or shiny fabrics to avoid looking too costume-y.
