Dark colors in the summer?

I attended a wedding in May and the colors were navy and yellow. The bridesmaids wore navy dresses and held yellow sunflowers. The yellow accent definitely helped brighten up the decor so it felt appropriate for warm weather.

View Quoted Comment Oh my gosh I’m so obsessed with those shoes!

I don’t think seasons matter for colors with ONE exception: if your wedding is long and outside and they’d be standing out in direct sunlight, I’d avoid navy/black. If they won’t be spending long periods of time standing in the sun, no sweat. Sounds beautiful!

I had a June wedding with burgundy dresses. You can pick whatever you like

I think it'd work beautifully! I have an August wedding and our colors are burgundy, navy, and silver

I had a similar issue... and finally decided I didn't care and to do what I liked.

Im opposite though, I love the fall but also bright colors.

Were getting married in October and our 'primary'color (Guys ties, girls dresses) are hunter green but otherwise, nothing else is colored 'appropriately' for a fall wedding. Everything else is bright colors or pastels. These are my bouquets, for example.

We’re doing forest green and navy blue in early August! Those are my favorite colors so I’m using them! My mom took some convincing, but we found gorgeous dark green dresses (DB color Juniper) and most of our decorations are navy blue. I can’t wait!

That's a good idea! I think having an accent color that's lighter would definitely make it more summer and brighten your palette up but having a main color that's dark is ok

View Quoted Comment Wow! 😍😍😍

View Quoted Comment Love this!!

View Quoted Comment You’re right! Love those colors! I feel like I’m more concerned about what “others will think” but who cares?! It’s my wedding!

View Quoted Comment Beautiful!!

My bridesmaids are doing navy dresses with yellow flowers for my upcoming August wedding! Navy isn’t incorporated into the color scheme anywhere else, but I didn’t think bridesmaids necessarily had to match. I think it’s going to look great!

I'm so glad I found this discussion. I have been feeling pressured slightly by basically everyone to pick a lighter shade/color to fit the "wine" color I have in my head. Your girls look beautiful in this picture!! Where did you get the dresses?

I think you should go with whatever colors like no matter the season. Our wedding is in the winter, and I am doing spring colors, because I love pastels

Go with what makes you happy

View Quoted Comment Yes!!! I’m feeling so much better myself!!

View Quoted Comment Hey girl! You should do whatever YOU like. These are from davids bridal in the color "wine"

View Quoted Comment YAS that’s exactly where we are shopping next month! 🥰 I’m going to get the same color and I don’t care what my family thinks 😁
