Re: Poll-Which color for Bridesmaid dress?

what kind of 'feel' are you looking for for the wedding?

Springy? Romantic? Elegant?

The two colors are both lovely, but say something different to me...

What is your vision for the 'vibe' (for lack of a better word!) of your day??

Re: Poll-Which color for Bridesmaid dress?

That blue against the ivory of your dress and ivory and white flowers would be magnifico. And I believe you are getting married outdoors by water so it would pick up so many color cues. Strrong vote for navy from me.

Re: Poll-Which color for Bridesmaid dress?

Re: Poll-Which color for Bridesmaid dress?

I am leaning toward an Elegant look for the wedding...Simply because I feel My dress is more Elegant.. I totally agree with the blue looking terrific with the creams and ivories but then I put the coral next to the picture of Land's End and was ahhhed too! Decision making!

If you're going for elegant, darker is usually better. I'd go blue.

Re: Poll-Which color for Bridesmaid dress?

The coral is slightly more casual as well -- the blue has more of the formality lever, IMO, of your magnificent gown. Honestly, hard to really go wrong, both great choices and a great location.

I totally agree with Deb. Navy would look regal and great with the flowers and water setting. But be careful that the navy is not too dark a shade that would look black in the pictures. I have seen that in some pictures before. (This may not be much of a problem if you are taking pictures outdoors.)

Re: Poll-Which color for Bridesmaid dress?

i picked the blue, because i think it will tie into the near-the-ocean theme better than the coral. i also think the blue will flatter more skin tones, and will go beautifully with your dress!

Re: Poll-Which color for Bridesmaid dress?

I think the blue color is more of an elegant color. The coral is nice but reminds me too much of summer. Don't know if this helps, but JMO. I'm sure which ever you choose will be lovely.
