which color BM dress should i use?

I have 3 bridesmaids (two are plus size, and the third might be a pregnant by my wedding date) ... not sure which BM dress color is better.

Red is a richer color
Brown is often a more flattering color, and i think is closer to my BM's taste (so they would be more likely re-wear the dress).

The BM bouquet pic is attached as well for reference.

Oh, and i have a bit of champagne color in my dress (not sure if that matters)

With that bo-k, I think the brown would be better. But I'm partial to red

I agree-the brown would probably be more flattering on everyone skin tones as well

I agree that the brown looks better with the bouquet, but I prefer the dress in the red. Also, I sort of feel that brown has been very overdone in the past year or so.

i think brown would be way more flattering than red on plus sized and pregger women, and i think it looks better with the bok colors you chose.

i have to be honest tho, i would base your choice off what color you like best and not what color you think they would wear again bc honestly, i don't think they will really ever wear a long dress like that again, esp. the preggers lady bc she's not gonna be that size forever!

i personally think the boq would pop more if the girls were wearing the brown dress. pretty dress btw!

LOL thank you for your honesty ... i really do appreciate it (this is NOT sarcasm, in case it sounds like it).

i actually spoke with my MOH just now and she mentioned that she doesn't care which color i choose because she'll prob end up selling the dress afterwards anyhow. i guess you were totally right

yea, i totally didn't mean that in a mean way whatsoever either haha! i think it's a beautiful dress but my thinking was how often do you really wear a long dress anywhere? in all honesty, most of our bms won't ever wear their dresses again whether they are long or short, black or yellow. but i'm glad you appreciated my honesty
