Hi! I am getting married March 27, 2010. I need some help, I have chosen 3 of my closest friends to be in Bridal Party, however there has been so many things that have come up in the last couple of months none of them have been able to go with me to look BM dresses. I brought my dress from Davids Bridal and its not a white dress, so I have no clue what color would look good with it. Its style # CT203. The Groomsmen are just going to wear black dress pants (its an afternoon casual wedding) with some colored shirt. I was thinking Brown for the BM (not sure if its a good spring color). Then maybe having the GM wear blue shirts? I was kinda of wanting to add a touch of Orange some where. Any help would be great. Thanks so much and sorry so long.

    Why not just ell your girls to find a black cocktail dress that hits a certain length?  You could add the orange in with their bouquets.  This way, you can quit feeling like you have to nag your friends to go shopping with you, and your friends will hopefully find a dress that they look (and feel) great in, and will be able to wear again.Just a suggestion...

    Congratulations and welcome!  If it's a casual wedding, I definitely agree with pp... everyone looks good in black, they'll wear it again, it'll be cheaper for them than getting "BM" dresses, and whatever color you pick for bouquets will pop against the black.  GL!

    Another idea for GM would be white dress shirts with a tie incorporating the orange in a pattern of some kind. You could also ask the BM to choose a style that could handle a sash or scarf and add that as your orange. GL Happy Planning!

    Thanks so much everyone.......I was just afraid that Black might look to formal.  But might be the way to go.
