Can't decide on color of BM dresses

Either thinking of Dusty Rose or Chocolate Brown.

It's a June wedding so I think lighter colors fit, but I think darker colors are more flattering.

The swatches are so small and the sample pic and in the stores is in black.

Here's the dress:


Thoughts?

Re: Can't decide on color of BM dresses

I would either choose black or a lighter color. I know darker colors are usually more flattering, but I recently wore light green in bf's bridal party and the photographer said how great everyone looked. If you want a dark color, go with black and do bright flowers. I think brown says fall.

Re: Can't decide on color of BM dresses

Both colors are really nice, but I think the dusty rose is more appropriate for June.

Re: Can't decide on color of BM dresses

I'm June 25th, and I'm thinking of going with plum dresses for a day wedding, which may be a little unconventional, but they're tea lenth, and truthfully we had trouble finding ANYTHING that everyone could agree on. A couple of BM's would not wear strapless or spaghetti straps, halter tops looked unflattering, when I finally found a dress that worked for everyone, it was a Lazaro that came in four colors - plum, black, ivory and gold. I wanted purple family so I chose plum. I'll pick up the color with the flowers. Hope this will work!

Re: Can't decide on color of BM dresses

Can they have the dress in dusty rose and use brown in the detailing?

Re: Can't decide on color of BM dresses

I am having a June wedding, and me and the BM picked a dress last night. I really like Chocolate brown, and have them with pink flowers. I was thinking of doing a rose, but it looks bad next to three of my four BM skin.

Now, everyone is making me have second thoughts.

Re: Can't decide on color of BM dresses

I think you can make either color work for June. You can really make it summery with your choice of flowers, use light, bright colors. And maybe have your BP wear a flower in their hair.

No, the ribbon is the same color as the dress. But that would have been nice.

Re: Can't decide on color of BM dresses

Love the dress, if you do black brighten it up with your flowers you cant go wrog with black for anytime of the year its versatile. Stay away from the brown and rust and burgandy those say fall.

Great summer colors are red, green depending on the shade, purples, pinks, yellows.

Start with this do you have a favorite color and see if you can use it.
