What color bridesmaids dresses?

Hi ladies!

I recently purchased this dress from David's Bridal for a steal:

I had been looking for either a blush or gold/champagney dress, something unique & non-traditional, so when I saw this one on sale I had to get it!

However, now I need help deciding on bridesmaid dress colors/groomsmen suits that would go well with it. Any suggestions?

Honestly, I think almost anything would look good. I do think that a blush, light yellow or champagne dress would look too close in colour to yours so I would go for something brighter or darker. BUT! White or champagne BM dresses are more popular and some brides like how they look very similar in colour to their dress so that's a personal preference thing. 

Id start looking at your venue (what would clash), your favourite colours and what flowers you want to decide.

What a pretty wedding dress!
Maybe something bold, like a deep blue?

Gorgeous! I would think navy or a dark charcoal gray would look stunning with this. Or a deep wine colored dress. I'd picture long dresses with it (I also just prefer those) to give it a more formal feel.

Do you have an over-arching theme or color scheme for your reception/ceremony? Where are you getting married? What is the formality level of your wedding?

I selected my bridesmaids dresses based on something I felt fit the season, formality, and the colors I was using for my flowers and decor.

I don't have a color scheme in mind yet, it's what I'm trying to figure out! The wedding will be formal, but not black tie or anything. The ceremony is in a Catholic Church and the reception will be at a ballroom/banquet hall. It'll be in the summer (next August).

I think that any colour would be fine. Do you have any favourite colours or do your bridesmaids have specific colours that they would look good in?
