What color bridesmaid dresses to go with gold ombre dress?

KDS, on November 2, 2015 at 10:17 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 15

I went wedding dress shopping this weekend and found the dress! It is the Maggie Sottero Brittania. I wasn't expecting to end up with anything like it, but it is absolutely stunning on. The dress is Ivory/Light Gold Ombré over Light Gold. I haven't picked out my wedding colors yet, so I am wondering what color bridesmaid dresses will complement my dress. I know rusty pink is a common pairing with gold, but FH hates that color. Any other suggestions? Venue has a lot of dark wood and the wedding is in July. We are doing succulents for centerpieces.

    Congrats on finding your dress! I'm leaning toward the Emma Marie by Maggie Sottero and love the light gold color! I'm having my BMs in burgundy dresses for a September wedding, but I think that color would look great in your venue and would also complement your dress. Really, any dark shade would look nice in my opinion!

    Gorgeous dress! I think you could do any jewel tone, navy or emerald would be good.

    I should edit to say that our venue is also a golf course, so green dresses are out. And bonus points if the color is on Azazie, but not a requirement.

    Mulberry or Burgundy on Azazie were my favorites!

    Oooooh I tried that dress on and LOVED it! I didn't really want strapless and I was afraid the delicate lace would get caught on the rustic wooden floor of my venue, but the color was fantastic and the dress is really exquisite. Congrats on finding it! I think either navy or a mint green would go beautifully. Here's an inspiration color palette.

    I cosign: any jewel tone will work.

    I'd avoid green anyway- I'm told they are hard to photograph well under bright lights (stage things).

    PS- the dress is STUNNING- congrats on that find!

    Congrats on finding your dress! It's beautiful! I'm another vote for jewel tones. Also, I was having a hard time finding my specific color combo anywhere so I went to magnetstreet.com It was so easy to experiment and see different colors together and they even send you a free sample of your colors.

    Love that dress! Congratulations! I'm a Maggie bride too -- my dress is Esme! My dress came in a gold or silver option, and it took me a while to decide because of bridesmaid dresses! I would agree with jewel tones, but I would also add light pinks. Azazie has a plethora of lighter shades of pink that might pair well with the gold. Or even purples (I am sorry but I don't remember the names!). I have ordered a MILLION swatches from them, so they are definitely worth the buy to compare!

    Thanks ladies! I love that it's pretty simple, but still elegant.

    @MrsBest2Be I love that color palette. I think it would fit in with our desire for simple colors and nothing too matchy matchy.

    I was also thinking maybe deep purple or wine colored dresses, but I haven't loved any of the purples that I have seen on Azazie. I guess I should order some swatches and see what I think.

    I love the dress and love the options the girls have thrown out so far! We are using azazie.com as well. I think you should order the swatches, they are awesome!

    That dress is gorgeous! My dress has a gold underlay, and my bridesmaid dresses are navy blue. Our flowers are shades of pink including blush and coral and we are accenting with sage and blue-green. Our venue has dark wood with teal and gold accents. I think any color goes with gold. It is a neutral to me!

    On Azazie, I think orchid, grape, ink blue, or peacock would all be pretty with the gold. Deep shades of red (burgundy, maroon, etc.) would be go well too, but don't seem like the right colors for a mid-summer wedding.

    I'm getting the same dress and am concerned over the same thing. I originally was going with an ombre purple pallete (i.e. plum, dusk, and another purple [forgot the name]) but I am debating on whethere that will go with the wedding gown. What did you end up choosing? I was looking at magnetstreet and thought about this....

    I ended up picking Lapis from David's Bridal. Purples work really well. I also liked deep reds (wine), but I didn't think that it went with a summer wedding.
