I saw a wedding once with a great theme - and the bridesmaids looked great, too!  It was on a cliff overlooking the ocean in late afternoon, right next to my grandfather's condo, which is how I got the nice view.  They had a tropical/Hawaiian theme.  All the men had Hawaiian shirts and light slacks, and all the women had tropical-looking dresses.  The guests were dressed along the same lines.  The only one who looked out of place was actually the bride, who came in a more traditional white dress.

A friend of mine is getting married next year, and I'm going to be a bridesmaid.  She promised the dresses wouldn't be all poofy or hideous - I hope she keeps to that!
