Colors clashing on bride and bridesmaids?

Marmarcat85, on March 2, 2015 at 6:18 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out if I will clash with my bridesmaids. I will be wearing an ivory dress that has some silver beading at the waist and probably silver jewelry. My bridesmaids will be in red dresses, somewhere between a dark red and burgundy color with gold sandals and accents. My question is about them having gold accents while I have silver? Think it will look bad or be too much? Will anyone notice except me?

Thoughts? Thanks so much!

    Hard to say -- do you have photos?

    It's probably best to stick with one or the other

    Here's my dress and one of bride's maids in a dress we are considering. I guess I'm worried about their shoes, which will probably be a gold sandal and me in silver sparkly sandals. Also jewelry will be different.

    I agree I'd love to see pictures. Just wondering, why did you tell them to get gold sandals and accents if you knew you had silver on your dress?

    I haven't yet. No one has bought anything except me. But the colors for the wedding are red and gold. I kind of wanted them to match the colors and didn't think about this until after I purchased my dress.

    Wow I too am wearing an ivory organza gown, silver threading. I just had this discussion with the bridal consultant who sold the dress, and she said with the theme of my dress being swarovski crystals, silver threading, she said my accessories should be silver. Ok great. Not etched in stone yet, but thinking my colors going to be deep reds, berries, cranberry oxbloods, cream and ivories anything in those palettes ... my decor is also in those colors, flowers, etc. .. so I'm not worried I will be in silver, 1st bcuz I want to stand out and be different I'm the bride. So I don't care if my bms wear gold accessories but I'd probably go with a dyed shoe instead of gold.

    Our colours are burgandy, gold and cream. I have an ivory dress with silver beading under the bust and near the bustle. My bridesmaids have burgandy dresses that are full length. Since I didn't want to do the silver/gold clash, I told my bridesmaids to pick black shoes as the groomsmen will already be wearing black suits so it's not like the colour isn't already introduced. And then this way, every one has black shoes!
