Ok so i'm getting married August 9th at Villa Lombardi's. I originally chose the Bill Levkoff 966 dress for my bridesmaids in taupe with a champagne sash. After seeing it in person, it looks way to fall looking for August. So now I want to change my color at the very last minute. I love the euro pink with the champagne sash AND the champagne with the taupe sash (see below). I am so undecided and desperately need opinions! I am nervous that I won't stand out with the champagne (my dress is the SAME color as the one shown below so this is exactly what it would look like). Although, the pink looks a little peachy so I am not sure about that. Please let me know which one you like better and if you have any other color suggestions for summer in the exact dress. It is impossible to tell from those tiny swatches they show you! Thanks in advance for the help!

Both are very pretty. But I agree pink is a bit more summery

I was having the same dilemma. My gown is Champagne and I could not find a BM dress that would go nicely with it. MY FH was adamant about us not using brown and said since it was a July wedding, he wanted something with more color. Someone on the boards had suggested pink. I am not a pink girl at all but when I matched the BL Style # 557 in the rose color with a camel colored sash, it worked beautifully. My girls loved it. And for my MOH I just did the reversal, she will be wearing the camel colored dress with a rose sash. I say give the pink/rose a try and see if you like it.

I'm no where near picking out with my BM dresses now..but I had originally wanted the pink with the champagne sash..I was dead set on it..and then at TWOTY the girls wore the champagne with the taupe sash and it was absolutely STUNNING!!! Now I really can't deceide what I want...I'm so torn between the too!

I know you already made your decision but I just wanted to let you know that the bride at TWOTY still stood out and I was mesmirized by the BMs dresses all nite!! Your girls will look gorgeous and you will still stand out!

I really love both colors but I voted for the champagne dress - I just think that color looks stunning!

I like the Chamagne dress (but I am not a pink girl). You can use the colors of your flowers to give it the complete feel of summer.

Re: Need opinion on dress colors for the bridesmaids!!!!!! Please help!

Yeah that's what I was thinking! Should i do bright colors or light for flowers? Any suggestions? :)

Obviously I like the champagne dress with taupe sash. I love those colors, but also my room had pinks and golds and ivory in it...so it blended nicely. The pics don't do it justice because those pics are copied and pasted and not good quality, so they do look a little washed out. But in person it was stunning.
