Most of my friends have bagsied the obvious wedding colours of red, burgandy, baby pink, fuschia, lilac, bright purple, plum, baby blue, royal blue, aqua/turquoise, black, cream, white, silver, gold, light brown.

I like teal, navy, grey and green but not sure what shade.

We had aqua with pink flowers. Summery colours for a summer wedding.

3 bridesmaids in orange saris and 2 maids of honour in electric blue

I had pretty much the exact same colour you linked to nappyaddict - sage green the dress maker called it. It was the only colour we could get that didn't clash with the multiple different kilt colours that would be there! Looked so much better than I could ever have imagined and suited both the blonde and brunette bridesmaids.

I had black bridesmaids dresses. The wedding was at 5pm and what I wanted was a glamourous red carpet style that they all looked beautiful in - they did :)

I didn't have dresses. Both my bridesmaids wore lilac skirts & long jackets.

dark red wine colour. No idea why I chose that as their was a lose under the water theme. Hmm

I just got back from a wedding where the bride chose black for her bridesmaids - I thought they looked utterly stunning. And more wearable again than many bm dresses.
When I was a bm I was in a pale coffee colour, it was really gorgeous.
My own bridesmaids were in a pale aqua. My dress was pale pale dusky rose pink though, and many colours didn't go with it.

I love the idea of BM's in black although didn't go with my peachy theme!! My girls were in apricot blush; the colour suited them all surprisingly as all have different skin tones & hair colour.

Dove Grey looks fantastic on bridesmaids IMO; if you take a look at Dessy online they have colour charts that may help.

Think navy suits everyone but I would suggest bright necklace or
flowers as when it comes to the pictures, the suits and the bm dresses
don't stand out as they should as it all tends to be rather dark

My bridesmaids wore white, I didn't.
