CHOOSING YOUR COLOR
How to Choose a Bridesmaid Dress Color
Start with the feeling, not the season
Don’t feel locked into traditional spring or fall colors. Think about whether you want your wedding to feel airy, romantic, earthy, dramatic, classic, or colorful.
Consider your venue
Natural greens look especially beautiful outdoors, rich jewel tones can stand out in formal spaces, and soft neutrals can complement highly decorative venues.
Look at the whole wedding palette
Compare the dress color with florals, suits, linens, stationery, and décor rather than choosing it in isolation.
Think about lighting
Colors can shift dramatically between bright outdoor ceremonies and warm indoor receptions, so consider where your ceremony, reception, and photos will take place.
Always order swatches
Once you’ve narrowed down your favorites, compare the actual fabric before placing bridesmaid dress orders.
