Bright colored bridesmaid dresses can come in and out of fashion over the years. Neutrals have a more lasting charm. If you love neutral tones in your home and in your everyday fashion, why not use a neutral color palette for your wedding?

Your multi-colored bouquets will pop against the sage green dresses!

7) Terracotta Wedding Colors for a Warm Palette

6) Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses (in any color!)

Spice, Blush, and Peach Bridesmaid Dresses | Felicia Angel & Sarah Dunlap

Mismatched bridesmaid dresses are a great way to make your wedding stand out! Traditionally, bridesmaids all used to wear the same dress in the same color. Now, brides are embracing the idea of mixing the style and the color of their bridesmaid dresses. Using multiple shades of a similar color can create a gradient or ombre effect. We love the idea of including multiple shades of pink bridesmaid dress colors instead of just choosing one.

7) Purple & Lilac Bridesmaid Dresses

Combining dark and light shades of one color will create a fun dual-tone effect. Choosing different shades will break up the monotony of single-color bridesmaid dresses. This will also look really fun in your photos! One example is mixing two contrasting shades of purple bridesmaid dresses. Our eggplant and french lilac bridesmaid dresses look beautiful together. You can even combine multiple shades of purples in your bouquets to match the effect.

How to Choose Your Summer Bridesmaid Dresses!

Choose summer bridesmaid dresses that suit the venue, bridesmaids’ body types, and the wedding aesthetic! If the wedding is outdoors, consider bridesmaid dresses with a leg slit or a shorter hem to make it easier for bridesmaids to get around on the terrain. Spaghetti straps are a popular feature for summer weddings, we especially recommend straps that are adjustable for a custom fit! 

Consider different lightweight fabrics like chiffon or satin and avoid fabrics like velvet that might be a little warm for your June, July, or August wedding. For popular wedding colors, consider any version of your favorite everyday color schemes! Think about colors that will look nice in bright sunlight and with the outdoor scenery of the wedding venue.
