Bridesmaid dress colour

Jennifer, on May 24, 2018 at 21:34 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 39
Not getting married till July 2019. So lots of time.
But am stuck on which colour I like best.
Love all 4 of these for very different reasons.
Any thoughts?
1st is cobalt
2nd is teal blue
3rd is sangria
4th is mist

All from davids bridal.
Ceremony is in an old courthouse/heritage building. Reception at a typical wedding hall. Will take garden photos and city skyline/water ones (our city is right on the water)

    I love the teal and sangria styles (would be a great mismatch look) but prefer the teal and mist colours (they are all gorgeous but I just love blueSmiley smile . What I would do is consider your photography first. If you are going with a light and airy style (which would lend itself perfectly to your picture locations) I would go with the lighter more romantic summery colour. If your photog has a more moody, darker dramatic side then I would go with the darker colours (would look amazing in wooded locales).

    Consider the overall complexion of the party, and style of the wedding to guide you.

    I have no other colors in mind. honestly because I will probably have minimal in terms of decoration and flowers etc. for centrepeices I want glass vases with mini lights or candles. just real simplified.

    so all my color scheme will come because of the dress color. the girls dress also determines suit color. haha

    I chose colours that aren't very popular, so it's been harder to find used items with my colour scheme. If you are wanting to buy used, I would suggest looking on wedding groups like on Facebook to see what decor people are selling in what colours. But, if you aren't concerned with buying used, I would suggest asking your bridesmaids as they will be the ones wearing them!

    U can ask each of ur bridesmaids to wear each color if you are gonna be having just four bridesmaids. And all the colors looks pretty.

    Ahhh sangria! That's one of the colours I've been looking at haha!
    If you're having the water line in photos I might go with the first or last blue colours!
    The first is more bold, the last is much more soft so I suppose it depends the overall look you're going for?
    What are your other wedding colours? And do you have any bouquets in mind?
    For me personally I ordered my bouquets first and then I'm going to match the dress colours to them!

    Our accent colours are gold and cream. We are getting married in a greenhouse-like event centre so we needed a bright colour that would pop against all the greenery.

    My first thought goes to, what complexion are your bridesmaids? I love the teal and mist, but depending on if your girls are typically fair/pale, or dark/tanned, the colour choice might be changed.

    I picked navy, because my girls wanted black, but I couldn't do it... so navy provided a bit of colour, that was still flattering for all of them.

    I think teal or mist is great for July. Cobalt is pretty as well, but maybe quite dark for summer. I think the Sangria reminds me more of fall (It was my top colour when considering a Sept/Oct wedding).

    No theme. just want elegant and clean in terms of décor and invites etc. the most out there thing that I want is a sparkly head table cloth (and that isn't that out there). my thought was pick the girls dress color and then the rest of the colors fall into place
    whatever dress color we choose determines suit colors (so mist I would go with navy suits, the others would be grey suits...but not a dark grey).

    I love the mist dress colour, all the colours are nice though. Do you know if your having a theme colour for you wedding, that might help narrow down options.

    Yep! They're going to be wearing ice blue, capri, and steel blue (sorry, I was mistaken about the mist colour, but it's very similar to capri).

    I have seven standing with me, so it'll be two in steel blue, two in capri, then three in ice blue, and myself in white!

    The sangria is VERY pretty, but for some reason, those dark reds seem like winter colours to me.

    I'm pretty open to the dress cut. my thought is to do same color/material/length. and they pick fit/cut of the dress.
    that's REALLY good to hear about the strapless/mist dress. my MOH wore the tank top/V-neck in navy for a wedding last year. and loved the dress too.
    thanks for the info! Smiley smile

    Are you doing different colors for the girls?
    blue/greens are my fav color. that's why I love the mist. but the sangria just jumped out at me.

    I had thought of that too. but I just personally don't feel it as much. i'm ok with same material, color but then different fits of dress.

    My girls are wearing Cobalt! I had them each pick out their own different dress so they could be comfortable.

    Side note with the Cobalt for David's Bridal - I found out from ordering that they don't actually stock the cobalt in the warehouse like they do every other colour, they legitimately have to make the cobalt dresses as the order comes in. I'm not sure why as it's a beautiful colour. But for this reason if you go with cobalt give yourself plenty of time for them to come in. We ordered the dresses in mid-March and we told to expect them beginning to mid July!

    I like the cobalt and sangria. I think you would need to get all your girls to try the colours though.

    The teal blue looks like it would be the most universally flattering colour Smiley smile But do what looks best with your ladies. Also consider your theme and how their dresses will dictate the look of the event.

    I think Mist is great. Not to complicate choices but you can choose a few colours or shades depending how many bridesmaids you have.

    I would personally pick the teal just because it's a light colour that you can accent very easily with so many colours if you wanted to. I looked into teal dresses with some lovely lilac or sunflowers in the bouquets and they were so pretty!

    They’re all beautiful maybe it would help to have the girls try them on? The first one is my fave out of the four.

    I'm a little biased since my colours are blue and coral and my girls will be wearing mist (some of them, anyway). It's a bit more of a summer colour than the others, though they're all beautiful.
