Bridesmaid Dress Colors

Original post by FutureMrsK2012

Well...I've been going back and forth with this for a while now and I still have no clue what to do, so I was hoping you girls could help me!
My wedding colors are deep teal and purple (jewel tones). I have no idea whether I should do teal dresses or purple dresses or maybe a combo of the two. Or I can make my BM one color and my MOH the other color. I am almost certain that their bouquets are going to be varying shades of purple. This has been driving me nuts for some time now, so TYIA!!

If you're set on purple flowers, you should do teal. Don't want the look to be too matchy matchy.

Agreed- and I am a HUGE purple girl! My girls are in Liz Fields BM dresses (they picked their own style), and are carrying fall-colored flowers (to keep away from the 'matchy-matchy' look).

This is one of my favorites- but my girls are in satin, not chiffon

The purple dress with teal sash is very pretty. I don't think you can go wrong with either color. You have a beautiful color scheme.

Maybe something like what I did for my girls. These are Alfred Angelo dresses



That is what I am doing for my BP. Have the MOH's in one color and the BP in another and let the sash complement each other.



agree with this. My MOH has a sash and in the same color as the BM's solid colored dresses.



Thank you all for all your help. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I just started clinicals this week and have been totally exhausted...those 12 hr shifts are no joke! I think I might end up doing this option, so that I can incorporate the two colors and not have it look overwhelming. I think I'm going to have my girls in teal with a touch of purple trimming and my MOH in the opposite. Thanks for all the help!

What color are the flowers?

Most likely purple - it's an easier color to work with when it comes to flowers. Any suggestions?

Then I'd say teal...to emphasize the purple in the flowers. Purple on purple might not go well

And your getting married in the summer, teal is veery summery and nice weather-y
