Alternating bridesmaid dress colours!?

Taylor, on July 4, 2019 at 4:26 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
Hi ladies!
I am having the hardest time deciding on wedding colours. We are getting married in September 2020.
Im all about purple so I was looking at David’s Bridal plum and wisteria.
Has anyone used one dark shade and one light shade for bridesmaid dresses??
I considered using three shades of purple but I have 5 bridesmaids so I didn’t know if that would look odd...

    Go for it! Purples are also my colors. I'm using every shade I can find lol.

    I personally, like the contrast as opposed to everything matching.

    Can't wait to see what you pick Smiley smile

    You can do alternate colors. Maybe just the MOH in one and the other BM in the other. You can do whatever you like with those.

    I second this suggestion! I like the idea of MOH being in a different color.

    You can definitely even do an ombre type look where the shades are all purple but different and it'd look cool

    This is what I am doing, I have four girls total, my MoH will be in plum, and one of my other girls will be in wisteria!! (In other words, I second this idea, obviously, since I'm already planning on doing it & have been working my plans around this [it will be so awesome when its all said and done] lol)

    I love alternating colors. Granted it's not what I'm doing, but your girls are going to look great!

    I personally love the idea! My sisters are my maid and Matron of honor and I sent them a few examples of the color (sunflower yellow) to stick to and told them they can get whatever they want so they can wear it again. I suggested one get a solid and one get a floral but they can work that out among them.
    Heres the pics I sent them
