Do bridesmaid dresses HAVE to match wedding colors?

Go for it! I think that is totally fine.

I say go for it!

As long as you like it and think it looks good, that's all that matters! I think that sounds gorgeous, and makes your BMs stand out a little from the decor.

Nope, not at all! I think cobalt/royal blue dresses would look beautiful with your gold and white decor!

My girls are wearing chiffon gold dresses from Azazie if you were interested in looking, but I think cobalt would be lovely too!

My colors started out being navy blue, blush pink, and silver it somehow got switched to blush pink and ivory. The girls bought the navy blue dresses already and I think it will look great it adds a pop of color to your wedding.

I personally love the mismatch look, because it seems a little more natural, to me.

Royal blue and gold go fine together. I would say go for it!

It will look lovely, but you do realize that most people who know about the BM dress color will say that one of your colors is royal blue, don't you?

I say do it! Ur guests may not even notice that the girls have an "off" color. It's gonna be ok....do it!

Those colors would look great together! Go for it

Someone on here just did a BAM of a Disney wedding, all the bridesmaids had different color dresses and it looked AMAZING.

Sounds gorgeous

No one will probably notice.

Thanks, ladies!! Your responses have helped me to feel confident about this decision! :-)

For my first wedding my colors were royal blue and purple. My bridesmaids wore black dresses. It worked well.. I think the blue will work beautifully.

Mrs. Sasswood, I did change my avatar twice, but for some reason it doesn't show up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

I think it would look nice with a pop of color with the bridesmaid dresses!

Navy goes with pretty much everything.

If you said your wedding colors were green, blue, and silver, and you wanted to add orange and gold, that would something I'd feel I needed to talk you out of.

As it stands, you have two colors -- both very neutral -- white and gold. You could add almost any third color to that pairing. As for cobalt blue -- absolutely. Look it up -- white, cobalt, and gold weddings.

It looks good to me:
