Just when I thought I wanted to do the color copper for the bridemsiad dresses b/c I am getting married at the end of September, the color chocolate brown has grown on me a lot. I am so confused about which color to use. I thought I'd use copper b/c it is different and not a lot of brides are using it. I love the color chocolate but feel that a lot of brides are using it. I don't mean to offend anyone if that came off rude.

It's a good thing they haven't ordered their dresses yet. Whew... Which colors do you girls prefer? TIA

ETA: The dress is chiffon so it is not a shiny material like satin.

This is the matron of honor dress.

This is the bridesmaid dress.

Thank you ladies for all your suggestions.

I will be going to Macy's this weekend to order the dresses and I will make my final decision after looking at the swatches again.

I understand what some of the girls are saying about the material. I love satin and taffeta too but my girls just did not want to wear it. They wanted to wear chiffon b/c they felt that satin shows your fat rolls. I want you to know, none of my girls are overweight either.

Oh, and I am now thinking about putting my matron of honor in one of those colors and the rest of the girls in a different color such as the opposite of what my MOH will be wearing. Do you think copper and chocolate brown would look nice together?

I am probably going with copper myself or burnt orange (are they the same or just close?). I think it would show up nicer on the photos but I've seen tons of photos of girls in the chocolate brown with beautiful flowers so I see why you can't decide. I think brown would go nice with the copper. I guess you'd have to see them together to really know.
Guess I didn't help you much.

my girls are in cinnamon/Satin which is a cross between brown and orange. I love the color so i say go for copper.

I would say go for copper because I love that color, but with the material of your dresses I think the chocolate would look best! The combo would look nice also, I think they go together... I would see if they have any sample dress in both colors and hold them next to each other!

I am hoping they have samples of both of these colors whether it be these dresses or other dresses with the same material in chocolate and copper, this way I can compare. That would really help.

Thanks for all the advice girls.
