Wedding colors/family colors

Blag, on July 13, 2019 at 11:50 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 8
Hey!

So some family is asking what our wedding colors are. The bridesmaids are wearing red and I guess the wedding colors would be any shade of red or pink. I don’t really want family being too close to the colors my bridesmaids dress is because then it will fade them out. Does family usually wear colors colors close to what the bridesmaids dress color is?

    The family can wear whatever color they want. They aren’t photographed with the wedding party anyway.

    They dont have to match or be assigned colors. Let them wear what they want.

    I only asked my parents and my kids and their siblings to wear shades of a certain color for family pictures.

    You don't always pick what the family wears. But that being said my family and my fiance's family volunteered to let me pick their outfits, you can suggest a color but don't get dissapointed if they don't follow through.
    I'd say a light coral color would look good with the red or even a dark wine or maroon color depending on your location and time of year.

    Typically parents and families pick out their own attire, but many will still want to be mindful of your party so as to avoid blending in like you mentioned. Since my mom and FMIL were there when we picked out the bridesmaids dress (steel blue) they knew what to avoid. Both moms are opting for navy blue which is neutral and not in my palette.
