Can't decide on bridesmaid dress color!

Maria, on December 21, 2022 at 9:31 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12

Hello, everyone. I've only been engaged for 1 1/2 weeks now but I've been looking at bridesmaid dresses and am having trouble figuring out a color. My fiance absolutely wants a navy blue tux for him and the groomsmen (which I 100% agree with) so I need a color that will go with that. We also are looking at an April 2024 wedding, so spring colors. I LOVE the neutral look of taupe dresses (seen below) but worried that color a tie won't go well with the blue tux. (I am absolutely open to floral ties as well!) Any suggestions? TIA!

    That will be gorgeous together! My cousin did the same color scheme (i dont' have any pics i can attach) but it looked awesome. Her bouquets had lots of greenery and it was really pretty.

    I thought it would look just fine together. Here's a pic I found online to give you an idea of the colors together. Can't decide on bridesmaid dress color! 2

    The colors will definitely go together (and you don't have to match the GM ties to BM dresses). You'll want to take your BMs complexions into account - that color may wash some people out depending on their coloring (just a thought).

    Funny, because my FH said the same thing about the color washing some people out lol I also didn't want too dark of colors because of having some pale bridesmaids lol

    If you have pale bridesmaids, that color will very likely wash them out. I’d actually hold off on picking colors for things until you book your venue. Since bridesmaids dresses also typically fall within the same color palette as decor, you want to make sure your decor colors fit with the venue space (color of carpets/floors/etc).

    Darker colors I would think would actually look better on paler bridesmaids, but with your wedding so far away you honestly should wait to even ask anyone to be a bridesmaid yet alone worry about dresses.

    My cousin had her bridesmaids wear a similar color (possibly a bit more flesh/peach like though) and I thought it looked weird on most of the bridesmaids because it was so close to their skin colors. They kind of looked like those baby dolls when you take off the dresses (the stitched up stuffing with peach fabric).


    If you like greens and blues, sage or dusty blue looks great in the spring. If you like pink or purple, I think that would also look good.

    I’ve actually been looking into sea glass green instead. Thoughts for spring? Can't decide on bridesmaid dress color! 3

    You could definitely do that for spring.

    Okay, great 😊 Then I can still keep the decor more neutral.

    Those colors go perfectly well together. If anything the men can wear navy ties that match their suites and maybe taupe pants that matches the bridesmaids dresses.Can't decide on bridesmaid dress color! 4
