Does this look ok? Help with robe colors please

Jessica, on June 28, 2019 at 9:59 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 16
If the center robe in the pics is the color for me, the bride (I want to continue to use my robe after the wedding, so I don't want white), do the other colors match for Maid/Matron & 2 Jr bridesmaids?

So, wanting to get robes for my girls.
I have Maid of honor, Matron of honor and 2 Jr Bridesmaids.
I have already ordered the dark green robes for my Maid and Matron. I intended to just order the smalls in the same color, but when I went online tonight the smallest size left was large.
I was thinking since they are Jr.s maybe they could wear a lighter color, like mint green or even turquoise? Color coordinating is not my thing at all.

Basically I already have the 2 dark green robes for maid an be matron. I need to know if you think either of the pics posted will look good. Or, I'm open to suggestions for other colors, as long as its the dark green for maid and matron.

    I agree that both work well. Focus on which color you prefer for yourself, pink or mint, and go from there.

    Just as you want to use your robe after the wedding, so do your attendants. Why not ask them colors they like and will wear? Your ladies are not models or manikins wearing colored props for your pictures. If you give them anything, colors and styles should be chosen to flatter them, or go with their preferred colors. You shouldn't be composing pictures as your primary goal, as though the people involved just happen to be there.

    I like the top pic with you in pink and the others in the mint and dark green. I think it will give a stunning contrast while still coordinating.

    And how do you know I didn't ask them?

    Because in fact I actually did, which is why green even became one of my wedding colors. Before I decided on anything for the wedding I let my maid and matron pick out colors that THEY liked. That is why Juniper Green became my color.

    Both my maid and matrons favorite color is green. Hence, why I have already purchased them nice green robes. The Jr bridesmaids are 7 and 12. I have purchased them completely seperate robes for their own personal use, that they will get along with other things I have for a gift basket for them. I am just trying to figure out which colors would look best on myself and the Jr. Bridesmaids.

    I am very aware they are not props or manikins and I find it astonishing you came up with this response when I was simply asking about which colors would go together.

    I like both color schemes, but with the pink you stand out more. For my girls' robes I got them a color they would enjoy- I didn't care of they matched my theme or not. In fact, I kinda like them, they go pretty well together. My MOHs robe is the dark red, BM#2 got lavender, BM#3 got the navy, and BM#4 got the mint. And of course white for me. Smiley laugh

    Ignore the wrinkles, I just opened up the package haha.

    That is cute. I did get them the colors they wanted. Maid and Matron both wanted the dark green, that's both of theirs favorite color. My Jr. Bridesmaids said they couldn't choose a computer because the were a bunch and the teal color and the mint were the 2 they narrowed it down to.
    I was just trying figure out if I should do teal or mint for the girls.
    I personally don't have a favorite color... but several, and couldn't choose one for myself. I never thought about doing all different colored though, since they all liked the varying shades of green.
    I also got seperate robes specifically for the Jrs that I knew they were wear on a regular basis.

    No where in your original post do you mention that you consulted with anyone at all, just that you are picking colors. And want assistance from us. . . . It is not just a matter of what things go together, but primarily one of finding colors or styles that flatter each woman's coloring, and are colors she will wear after the wedding. So how is a poster here to know? If you do not say you checked with some or all the women,how is anyone responding know you did? . . You are right I responded as though you had not asked them. You never said you did. . . . It has long been the prerogative of the bride to choose what the bridesmaids are to wear during the ceremony, and the first few hours at least of the reception ( til they change.). But recently bride have been surprising their women by choosing shirts or robes, both color and style, to wear while getting ready. Whether the women want this extra thing, or oppose it. And popping up with matching tops or whole outfits, that all of the bridal party are expected to wear while on the bachelorette. And recently, I and 2 people I work with, for totally different friends, 3 different weddings, have been informed by a bride, here are the dresses I want you to wear to my MOG shower, and also to the shower my aunt ( 1) or aunt and MOB, SOB (2 weddings) are giving. Bride choosing colors to coordinate with her shower dress. . . Standard social manners is, hosts, friends, brides, never choose the clothing color or style ( only formality) worn by friends if family, with the exception of a few ceremonial occasions, like the wedding itself. It is completely optional at other times. So since you never mentioned you consulted with each if your women, and yes they want robes, and these particular colors, you are right. I came to the conclusion that you were deciding ( which you mentioned) and asking our opinions ( mentioned.). . . I did not draw wild conclusions, or speak with malice. But answered from what you wrote. And my experiences.

    That really is awful for you and your coworkers. I guess I hadn't given that part any thought. I just assumed all brides would discuss colors and things like getting ready attire with their bridesmaids. I didn't put any of that stuff in my original post because I didn't see the need (thinking all brides would do that). I have been in 3 or 4 weddings but the last one was almost 10 years ago (my matron of honor) and I guess the getting ready outfits wasn't yet a trend. With that said, I haven't been a bridesmaid put in a position to wear something that may not be flattering on me.

    I picked out the colors for the wedding (including the "primary color" that their dresses are) with my maid and matron. I let them pick whichever style dress they liked then I purchased it for them.
    I also took each of my Jrs (on seperate days), one on one to pick out their dresses. I let them try on several and decide which one was their favorite and purchased it for them as well.
    My maid and matron looked with me for robes and they decided to go with a color similar to their dresses.
    I even decided to forego the embroidery of their "title" in the wedding, because I personally wouldn't want to wear a robe with the title on it after the wedding was over.

    I guess it probably happens alot, but I haven't been able to make any wedding decisions (with exception of my own dress & shoes, I did pick those out completely by myself) without first consulting with my maid and matron.
    My Jr. Bridesmaids are 7 and 12 (my future step daughters) and both have been just as indecisive as me.

    I think either would work, but my preference is with you wearing the pink robe.
