Ok, so originally I was thinking everybody would get their own dress & wear black. I have bridesmaids who are all different ages and different shapes & sizes. But, I'm having a wedding on a Sunday early afternoon. The place has a dark purple carpet. Any color suggestions? Is black ok for an afternoon wedding????

I don't see anything bad with black at all if that's what you really want.. but you can also play with alot of bright light colors as well..

Hmmmmmm......... I think black is more for evening. That is JMO. Please don't be insulted. If the carpet is dark purple, why not try Champagne??? I LOVE that color!
But black is definately an elegant color! Dont get me wrong! Don't stress to much over it!

I also think black is an evening color. My BMs dresses were black soIm a big fan of that but I think an afternoon wedding is more casual and the dress should reflect that. Similiarly, I dont think formal floor length dresses are appropriate for an afternoon reception either.

could you do a light pastel being that you are in afternoon and in May too. I don't know if I would go black in May afternoon with purple carpet. I would go light blue or pinkish, platinum. People will have just went through a dreary winter and would love to see the start of the season in your girls. JMO. but black is pretty and very flattering.

Black is beautiful, but more appropriate for evening affairs! I love the champagne, ivory, gold, tan family! Wine is pretty also! I don't really think you have to worry about matching your BMs to the carpet!

I know EvenEden, I'm crazy to worry about the carpet!!! I just everyone to look nice, that's all, and not have a problem if the dresses don't match each other exactly.

Why not pick a designer and then have the girls pick a color (maybe pastel purple or something) that way it will be the same color, just a pattern to more of the girl's liking...

I second the Champagne- love that color.
I do agree with the fact that black is more for nighttime affairs.

I agree - champagne is a beautiful color. Did you have an idea for your flowers? Can you work off one of those colors??

I LOVE champagne! I am considering that color for my fall wedding. It's very elegant IMO

Not crazy about black for a Sunday afternoon wedding. I would choice another color. I like the champagne idea- as long as it doesn't show white in the photos. Claud2001's BMs wore a beautiful Sand color from Alfred Angelo. It looked great.

My girls are wearing lilac. I think a lighter color for daytime is nicer

I love the addition about the carpet, don't worry about that unless you all plan on getting so drunk you are going to be laying on it...only kidding.
Anyway, black is a bit dark for a May afternoon wedding. Champagne is nice and the lilac and purple hues are nice. Did you have a color scheme for your flowers in mind for the room?
