Bridesmaids colors with blush wedding gown?

RachelEWorthen · June 2014

Hi Knotties,

Help please! I unexpectedly fell in love with a pale blush wedding gown and now am having such a rough time figuring out BM colors and florals! Right now I'm leaning toward blush bridesmaids dresses to bring out the hue of my gown, but I'm afraid the pale colors will limit my floral options. The groomsmen are wearing charcoal grey suits, but I think dove grey bridesmaids might be way too much grey? (8 bridesmaids / groomsmen!) I had my heart set on brighter pink peonies, blue hydrangeas and cream roses for florals, but any blue color swatches we hold against my gown just look wrong.

Thoughts? The wedding will be an outdoor ceremony followed by an indoor barn reception decorated with ivory draping, candles, lights and lots of greenery and flowers. (No twine / burlap even though it's a barn!)

Thanks!

Personally, I think when the bride and bridesmaids are in the same colour (even if it's a different hue) they sort of blend and the bride doesn't stand out as much. Example:

Perhaps they could wear white:

Or another sort of neutral, such as taupe (the women in the front row):
