multi colored bridesmaids dresses

koriemo

I am toying with the idea of having my bms wear different colored dresses. If I have 4 bms, then I would want 4 different colored dresses. But I may end up with 6 bms (I don't want to, but we'll see), in which case I would have 3 different colors and 2 of each.

It's a fairly casual wedding, summertime, at my grandparent's lake house.

I want to do blue, orange, yellow, and green. I wanted to include pink, but blue and pink reminds me of baby stuff, so I wanted to avoid that. I was also thinking about doing orange, yellow, green, and pink, but blue is my very favorite color, and i wouldn't want to leave it out... but I could, if I thought everything else looked good.

I plan on getting them from David's Bridal, so I can get the same dress in the different colors. I am having a hard time finding shades that mesh well together from their selection. Any suggestions?

I also thought about doing green/teal/blue.. multicolored blues... or ditching the different color idea and sticking with straight blue (pool).

Thoughts? Thanks!

just stick with the same material and length and I think you would be fine or maybe you could do different shades of one color like blue

My MOH's wedding was last fall and we all wore different dresses. I loved it and thought it was very unique. We all had the exact same style, so it pulled us all in together.



I would suggest getting color pallettes from David's (I think they cost a few dollars) and play around with your color choices.  My MOH did this with different designers and this is how we found which designer we would order from.  GL!

I think it would look fine if you went with bright colors.  I know Davids has a lot of different bright colors you can pick from.  And as far as blue and pink I think they only seem "baby" if they are light blue and light pink.  Bright colors would never make me think baby.  So I think you could definitely do blue, orange, yellow, green, pink, and maybe purple.

My BMs are wearing different colors in the same dress. Its a sunset/beach wedding and the colors from MOh to JBM are Sangria, Watermelon, Guava, Tangerine, Saffron. These are all at DBs and luckily each girl loves her assigned color! Plus my BMS like the color so much they cant wait to wear it after the wedding! HTH and GL

I think it would look fine as long as it looks tasteful. I definitely recommend playing around with the colors. I had 6 girls and I put 3 of them in one color and 3 in another color.
