Bridesmaid Color Matching Guide
Picking bridesmaid dress colors can be tricky. You want them to look good in photos. You also want them to match your wedding theme.
This simple guide will help you match colors for a beautiful and coordinated bridal party.
1. Match the Wedding Theme
First, think about your wedding colors.
Choose bridesmaid dresses that fit your theme. For example:
- Soft pastels for a spring wedding
- Sage green or blush for outdoor weddings
- Burgundy or navy for fall or winter
Tip: Keep the colors simple and consistent.
2. Consider Skin Tones
Different colors flatter different skin tones.
- Light skin: soft pinks, lavender, mint
- Medium skin: rose, coral, teal
- Dark skin: deep red, navy, emerald
Tip: Infinity dresses work well in almost any color.
3. Mix and Match Shades
You don’t have to pick only one color.
Try different shades of the same color. For example:
- Light blush, medium blush, and dusty rose
- Sage green with mint or olive accents
This creates a modern, natural look.
4. Coordinate with Flowers
Bridesmaid dresses should match the bouquet or wedding flowers.
- Choose colors that complement floral arrangements
- Avoid clashing bright colors with soft flowers
Tip: Ask your florist for suggestions before choosing dresses.
5. Consider the Season
Season affects color choices:
- Spring: pastels and light shades
- Summer: bright and bold shades
- Fall: burgundy, navy, mustard
- Winter: jewel tones, silver, grey
Tip: Seasonal colors look great in photos.
6. Keep Comfort in Mind
Some colors look great but may not suit everyone’s taste.
- Ask bridesmaids which shades they feel comfortable wearing
- Infinity dresses make it easy to mix shades and styles
Tip: Everyone will look confident if they feel good in their dress.
Final Thoughts
Matching bridesmaid colors doesn’t have to be hard.
Think about your wedding theme, skin tones, flowers, and season.
Mix shades if needed, and make sure everyone feels comfortable.
A coordinated bridal party always looks amazing in photos.
