Help me decide with Bridesmaid colors! Feeling so stuck!

Hannah, on January 8, 2022 at 6:30 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12

I am alternating my bridesmaids in Birdy Grey Dresses and I cant decide which color to use. I am doing 2 bridesmaids in Sea Glass and my MOHs will be wearing something they pick out themselves but I am BEYOND stuck with my other two as far as color. I am between Dark Mauve or Dessert Rose. Below are the options next to each other along with FH's suit color and our flower inspo. I KNOW the Dark Mauve probably goes better with the flowers but that I can't get the dessert rose color out of my head. I know a lot of people will say go with your gut, but i have been back and forth with this for over a month and I need to make a decision. Any opinions welcomed! Thank you in advance.

    Since it is a spring/early summer wedding, I would vote for the mauve. The desert rose "pops" more, so it really depends on if you want your bridesmaids to stand out or have a more soft look.

    I prefer the desert rose! It will also look better on more people and skin tones. Mauve tends to wash people out.

    Have you looked at swatches in real life? Have they tried them on to see what colors flatter them?

    I prefer the dark mauve - not because it goes better with the flowers, but because the tones seem to blend better together.

    The desert rose is beautiful but I love the dark mauve much better! A good way to help, try thinking 10-20 years into the future when you look back at photos. Which colors would you like best next to the flowers and decor??

    Do you have a picture of your dress? If you do can you share it with us?

    I feel that if we see your dress- the centerpiece of the day- it will give us a better idea of what color to help you choose.

    I’d go with mauve because they’re both the crepe material vs crepe/chiffon mix.
