Bridesmaids dress colour Help! (With pics)

Hi, me again!

I posted a few days ago about having chosen my dress but its not ivory which makes me question my colour scheme.

So I think I've narrowed the choices down to the following colours.

Would love some opinions maybe you could give me your top 2 or 3?

It's not so much about the colour of the bridesmaids dress more which will make my dress look best (first official bridezilla moment!) All the colours would suit the bridesmaids I think. All beautiful girls 😊

What month is the wedding in

Largethighsbadeyes · 05/09/2022 17:52

It's late September

The last one, the goody colour

Twizbe · 05/09/2022 17:54

Gold not goody

Cuddlywuddlies · 05/09/2022 17:57

for September I would go with green or the cream

RoseHarper · 05/09/2022 17:57

The red or Olive green, the others are nice but I think it may look a bit insipid and could clash with your dress. Better to go with something completely different.

kkneat · 05/09/2022 17:58

Number 2 the sage type colour

Flowerytoe · 05/09/2022 17:58

I think burgundy is really dated. The rest are really nice

ReviewingTheSituation · 05/09/2022 17:59

The first one is stunning for a Sept wedding. The second one is nice.
The rest are all too pale/bridal, apart from the coffee one, which feels a bit neither here nor there.

AnaBananas · 05/09/2022 18:11

Number 2 or 3

Snowiscold · 05/09/2022 18:16

Only the first two. The others are too bridal-colour matchy - unless they’re different in real life. Possibly the gold. Are they the actual dresses or just an example of the colour?

Trisolaris · 05/09/2022 18:20

I think the second one. The first I find too dark for a summer wedding. The others are too pale. It’s nice for bridesmaid dresses to add in some colour.

Largethighsbadeyes · 05/09/2022 18:27

@Snowiscold they are just examples of colour, not real dresses.

My original choice was the light sage green but I think it will just make my dress look dirty so thinking something darker. I like the olive green but not as many options in dress type. I've surprised myself by really liking the wine colour...

I'd say it's more Autumn than summer wedding (last week in September)

Number 2 definitely

Howmanysleepsnow · 05/09/2022 18:30

The olive green. If pushed, the gold one for second place (number 5)

JenniferWooley · 05/09/2022 18:31

The olive green would be my choice. It's lovely for a late September wedding.

I absolutely love your dress OP.

MissyCooperismyShero · 05/09/2022 18:31

I like 1, 2 and 5. Definitely something to contrast with your dress.

bathbombaholic · 05/09/2022 18:33

I love the sage green! Beautiful! 😍

excelledyourself · 05/09/2022 18:34

Green

Largethighsbadeyes · 05/09/2022 18:34

@JenniferWooley thanks 😊 I love it too. It doesn't look anything like that on me, I'm about 8 dress sizes (and cup sizes!) bigger than the model but it's oddly flattering. The woman who owned the shop picked it for me, all the ones I chose looked shite 😅

The sage green matches the overall scheme best. Maybe even go a bit darker like this duntery.uk/products/long-floor-length-off-shoulder-bridesmaid-dress-duntery-uk?variant=41283495821489&gclid=CjwKCAjwvNaYBhA3EiwACgndgs-Bdzd30DgWp8y7kXo1pTLuNfcg4Uju0LBooYfbC_hCwEnlwJzghxoC1N0QAvD_BwE

(I'd also look at getting swatches so you can see the colour in person against your dress!)

goldted · 05/09/2022 18:42

Pic 4 or 5. Definitely not the wine colour

beachcitygirl · 05/09/2022 18:43

The green is the only one imho

Redsharks · 05/09/2022 18:44

beachcitygirl · 05/09/2022 18:43

The green is the only one imho

Think I agree with this, the others are nothing in comparison to the green.
