Finding the right color scheme for your wedding is always a challenge! In addition to choosing the perfect color palette for your decor, you need to make sure the bridesmaids don’t clash with the bouquets or blend into the tablecloths! When it came down to choosing your colors, did you start with your wedding party’s attire and then build the rest of your palette? Or did you pick your wedding colors first and then decide which hue your bridesmaids would wear?

Which color choice came first for you - your wedding colors or the bridesmaids dresses?

    Colors first. They will be black, dark crimson and perhaps some orange and dark green. My bridesmaid and MOH will more than likely wear wither black or crimson, depending on their preference.

    Wedding colors. You can’t pick a dress if you don’t know the colors because not all dresses even come in the color you might want.

    With much debate, I chose my favorite color first...Orange. However, I will say finding orange dresses is proving a challenge. Because my bridesmaid all have different body shapes, I am perfectly on board with them choosing a dress that compliments their body frame/shape as long as it is orange.
