What color BM dresses go with cherry blossoms??

I'm having a tough time with this. I'm def having cherry blossom centerpieces. I'm trying to decide what color BM dresses would go nicely with them. I don't want green or brown...what else do you think would go nicely with cherry blossoms? I'm thinking either Tiffany Blue, medium to dark purple, deep pink...any other ideas?? I posted a few pics of colors I'm considering. Please tell me what you think and please post pics of other ideas if possible! TIA!!

My first instinct is a champagne...

But then I think a lilac (maybe a little darker, but similar hue) sounds nice..?

Hmm. That's tough.

I can tell you I'm not really happy with tiffany blue though.

ETA: The berry colored, second to last dress you posted is a nice color with the cherry blossoms.

Here, the dress is ugly, but I like the color...

Thanks!! The dress you posted is a pretty color. I like champagne too...but FH's sister is getting married 7 months before us and is most likely going to have champagne color BM dresses. I also really like the first dress I posted...the deep purple. I just don't know if it would be okay for a May wedding.

Hm.. the first dress shows up on my monitor as like a fuschia... more on the red side... it looked to holiday to me, but maybe it's showing differently, more purply on your end..

OK, here, the wisteria and wild orchid are more the color I had in mind... using DB as a guide... for some reason on the swatches on top, the VICTORIAN lilac looks like a med purple and then when you look at the dresses it looks more periwinkle... but if the dresses were the color shown int he swatches, I'da picked that.

haha..a guy I work with says the same thing to me..haha. I'll throw in a few hate posts here and there..just be patient.

Dress colors online are so annoying! The first dress I posted is a very deep purple...which I think looks nice with the pink. Do you think a dark purple would be okay for a May wedding?

Online the Wild Orchid and Wisteria look identical..it's a nice color and I think it looks nice with the pink.

I *personally* try to keep my colors seasonal... I even do it with my own wardrobe. But I'm weird and old fashioned that way, I think. So would I prefer a dark purple for a spring wedding? No. Do I think it would be inappropriate or would most people think it wouldn't work? Probably not. I'm a bad litmus test that way, I think.

I'm the girl who wears black all summer..so I'm the opposite. I guess I'm mostly concerned about how the 2 colors look together...dark purple and pink. I think it looks nice together...just never really considered dark purple for BM dress color before.

Re: What color BM dresses go with cherry blossoms??

I'd go with a deeper color, a purple, navy or even a black

Re: What color BM dresses go with cherry blossoms??

Well, I DO think the first dress looks nice with the cherry blossoms... if that counts for anything So seasonal appropriateness aside, dark purple looks nice with them.... as long as it's a purple more red based than blue based. like that one

Re: What color BM dresses go with cherry blossoms??

Now that I am on my home comp (I was on FH's before) the first dress does look like it has red tones. This BM color thing is driving me crazy! haha..I just want to pick a color already.

I was going to go with sage green and pink...and was completely set on this...but now I am worried the green will blend in too much in pics because there is a ton of green at my RH where we will be taking pics.

Re: What color BM dresses go with cherry blossoms??

See, green was MY very first thought, but you had said no to that already... I think a sage green would look really pretty and I don't think it would blend, it would be considerably lighter than everything being all springy green and grass green... I think that's a great combo.

Re: What color BM dresses go with cherry blossoms??

I really think that sage/celadon green does look the best with cherry blossoms. If I wasn't so set on the CBs I would just change my whole color scheme and not include pink...but I MUST have CBs..I'm obsessed with them..haha.

I think I need to re-consider the green color. I think seeing these colors in person will help too. I just don't want to get my wedding pics and realize that the girls all blend in with the background.

Re: What color BM dresses go with cherry blossoms??

I hear you... I was trying to find images of girls in light sage dresses with green in the background and it was HARD. I found one example. but the dresses were too dark... GAH, lol...

I hate this whole color thing! I finally just told myself enough! you picked what you picked and that's it! lol

I'm sure when you see it in person, you'll just know. I think it'll work fine.
