What colours go with a champagne dress?

kct76

I bought a GORGEOUS champagne coloured gown, but I'm having a hard time with the bridesmaid colour.  I have always thought brown but I'm getting a lot of slack about the fact that the wedding is in the middle of summer and it is too dark.  I am willing to consider other colours but I just don't know what?

I'd love your input!

Here is the dress/.

Very pretty dress!

Are the bridesmaids the one giving you a hard time? Brown is a neutral and always appropriate and I've seen plenty of summer weddings where the BMs wore black dresses.

Keeping the dresses knee length and in a warm weather appropriate fabric is more important than the actual color. As a BM, I'd much rather wear a neutral then a pastel. If the BMs are so opposed to brown, ask what colors they like. .

What about brown/chocolate dresses with a pop of color. Maybe a teal blue or hot pink sash? I love brown and blue, I think it looks really sophisticated!

A rich purple would be pretty. Or a soft pink.  Maybe even green.

A soft pink comes to mind when I thought of champagne.. what about sage?

I also have a champagne dress. I'm doing like a garnet/burgundy color.

I think brown dresses would work very well. I agree with a pp about doing short. The only other color that really comes to mind for me is a gorgeous purple, but again, it would be dark.

brown would be fine maybe shorter dresses, and adding light colored accents like off white sashes and shoes?
also colors like pinks, reds, and teals are great with champagne, i even like delicate pastels with champagne or even a soft earthy green, really the only color that I think is tough with champagne is bright yellow. but it's a very neutral color.

I"M partial to jewel tones, even for summer like the earlier mentioned garnet, purple, etc. A deep violet may look more "summery" than, say, an empire/royal purple, if you like.

A more subdued look would be a rose/pink or I do like the idea of sage.

I don't care for deep brown as far as BM dresses go but maybe a "mink" or "light chocolate" (all the designers have different, crazy names for different shades) would provide enough of a contrast to your dress & look vey elegant.

I would say latte (which is a lighter version of brown) or pink.  I love champagne and soft pink. That is a beautiful dress!

I have a latte coloured dress and my girls are wearing a deep red berry colour.  A light purple/lilac colour would look beautiful as well.

Gorgeous dress!

I'm clearly biased as I am getting married in July, have a champagne dress with ivory lace, and my BM's are wearing floor length black dresses.  For me, I am going for a certain feeling for the day/night so my BM color refelcts this (much go my mother's dismay!)  I think you can have whatever you want!  I agree that a shade of brown would be nice.
