Bridesmaids dress colour Help! (With pics)

Largethighsbadeyes · 05/09/2022 17:50

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 😊

Olive or bronze.

The second one is lovely. Modern and strong. And not a competitor to your own Gown's shade.

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!)

Love this green!

The bronze (2nd pic of 2nd batch- so 5th)

LittleLottle · 05/09/2022 19:04

I like both the middle options the best. For some reason I see the red as more of a late october- winter colour. The olive green is my favourite, can picture it with lots of rustic greenery! I like a really deep hunter green too.

sundayvibeswig22 · 05/09/2022 19:08

The sage green one is lovely. I think the others are a big meh. The red is nice if it was a winter wedding.

Largethighsbadeyes · 05/09/2022 19:10

So on balance the olive green (picture 2) seems to be winning. I've sent them to my mum to see what she thinks. I think 2 would be MOh choice too she looks awesome in green...and any other colour to be fair 😅

I do love the bronze but my brother and SIL had very similar colour for theirs so I'm wary of duplication

Number 2. Gorgeous.

Verite1 · 05/09/2022 19:46

The sage or the bronze. The pale ones are too close.

LIZS · 05/09/2022 19:48

Gold or pale green

Verite1 · 05/09/2022 19:48

That’s no 2 and no 5 by the way

KILM · 05/09/2022 19:52

The green is the one! All the other colours are showing up very pale, lovely on darker skin but would wash paler skin tones out.
I also love the red but agree with a PP that it looks dated. Will all the bridesmaids have matching dresses or are you going more modern?

Largethighsbadeyes · 05/09/2022 20:04

@KILM

I only have 1 adult bridesmaid, 2 teenage and 2 under 10 so I'm hoping I can find something for the adult/teenagers that is the same dress in the olive colour and then something else for the under 10s. Maybe a cream flower girl dress with an olive sash?

As pointed out on previous thread the adult/teenage dress needs to be more sleek than floaty and a shimmery fabric would be better otherwise it will clash with my dress

2!!Grin

VioletTopaz · 05/09/2022 20:09

No 2, hands down. Goes really well the suit too. Compliments your dress. Total winner.

Mammyloveswine · 05/09/2022 20:13

Love the first!!!

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 05/09/2022 20:15

I like the sage green best. It manages to contrast and also compliment your dress imo

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 05/09/2022 20:17

Sorry I mean number 2 - which may not be sage. That one anyhow

cheekaa · 05/09/2022 20:30

Howmanysleepsnow · 05/09/2022 18:30

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

This^^

optimistic40 · 05/09/2022 20:34

The sage / green one looks good but you'll be the focus.

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 05/09/2022 20:35

2 - sage

optimistic40 · 05/09/2022 20:36

What about a warm orange or copper colour? Autumnal.

PurplePansy05 · 05/09/2022 20:37

Second one, green.
