Bridesmaids in coordinated colors
Bridesmaids no longer have to wear identical dresses. Many couples now choose one color, or a small palette, and let each bridesmaid pick a dress that suits her. The result looks planned in photos while everyone feels comfortable.
Soft and romantic
- Dusty Blue
- Sage
- Blush
- Champagne
Rich and moody
- Burgundy
- Emerald
- Navy
- Plum
Three ways to coordinate
- Matching: the same dress in the same color. Classic and simple to organize.
- Same color, different styles: one color, but each bridesmaid chooses her neckline, sleeves and length.
- Mix and match: two to four shades from one family, such as blues or blush-to-rose, spread across the group.
Choosing colors
- Soft, muted shades photograph well and flatter most skin tones: dusty blue, sage, blush, champagne.
- For evening and autumn weddings, deeper shades such as burgundy, emerald and navy feel rich.
- Keep the bride’s color (usually white or ivory) out of the palette.
Practical tips
- Agree on a length (floor-length or midi) so the group lines up neatly.
- Order early, and gather everyone’s size in one place. Dresses often need alterations.
- Shoes in a neutral or metallic tie different dresses together.
