White or Colorful: Bridesmaids Dresses?

Colorful bridesmaids - they'll be mismatched with mauve and blush tones!

Colorful-my MOH will be in a deep purple color.

Colorful - well, rather one color. They will be wearing burgundy.

My bridesmaids will definitely not be wearing white, but they will all be wearing the same dress in the same color: Navy

If we do go through with bridesmaids they will wear purple

Sorry I do not understand why you'd want to put your girls in white - that's not a criticism of anyone but I would not be okay with blending in with my girls at my wedding! Is there even a bride in the top picture?!

My bridesmaids wore blue

Bridesmaids

My maid of honour wore navy blue and she was gorgeous. She did not wear our wedding colours. It became a running joke for us that she was not a napkin so she could wear what she liked as long as it was floor length and not white, black, or red.

Conversely, we ordered TWO sets of napkins because the first wasn't the right shade of gold

Colorful bridesmaid. All once amazing wine burgundy color.

I'm so against the grain here on this one, and this is the only place in which I don't want things bright and colorful, but there is just something I love about bridesmaids in white, and I'm tentatively planning to do that for my wedding. I'll stand out because I plan to get a floor length dress and have my bridesmaids in short dresses. It's a summer wedding anyways, so I wouldn't want them in long gowns in the heat! Here are some inspirations:

We're going to have colorful flowers and I just love the idea of contrasting!

I only had one bridesmaid, and her dress was a dark chocolate-y brown.
