African American Weddings

Bridesmaid dress options to compliment African wedding dress?

I will be wearing an white/cream and dark gold dress. My FI is from Ghana so I wanted to wear an african inspired dress. Plus

I also like to be unique. The dress I am wearing is below. My FI will be wearing a traditional white tux wth a gold tie. The bridal party will be in traditional American dresses. But I am unsure and confused about the dress color to wear. I was thinking a gold color dress. But they are most light or pale gold. Not as strong as the gold/yellow in my dress. What color bridesmaids dress do you all suggest that would compliment my dress? I was thinking red (my fav color) but that may be too harsh or white but then maybe not b/c I am wearing whiteLaughing Looking 4 ideas pls thanks!

    First of all, that is a gorgeous dress.  I think that the gold would be the best look for the bridesmaids, but some other options may be chocolate brown with gold sashes.

    Thanks I think it is gorgeous too. Just my style. I am adding a pic of the color dress I am thinking of not that dress in particular but the color I am referring too. I think a chocolate brown would be great too but I haven't found a dress wth gold? Tell me what u thn?

     I really like that shade of gold.  But I can see why you may think it's too pale.  I like that style of dress too.  I would suggest the chocolate brown personally or some other color that compliments the gold because that shade may clash with the bold shade of gold in the dress you're wearing.

    I like chocolate or red for the bridesmaids. I think either would go well with the white and gold.
