Hello girls, I'm having a right fit about my bridesmaid dresses .. OMG it seems impossible to find anything I like. The problem is my dress is blush pink and I was gonna have the 2 BM's in ivory with pink accessories, but when my 18 year old daughter tried an ivory dress on SHE looked like the bride and me in my pink looked like the BM!! GRRR .... Then I got her a dusky pink cocktail type dress from BHS now I hate the colour as I don't think it will go with my dress, and I still don't know what to put the 10 year old in??? HEEEELLLP MEEEEE!! pleassse, I've spent hours on here looking for dresses and I don't like any of them at all. I'm worried I will never like anything.

How about going for a strong pink like fushia?

Ooh..that's a tough one. Have you got any pictures of the colour of your dress so we could help? xx

I'm wearing pink, and my BMs are going to be in lilac.. That will look nice IMO.. So maybe you could look at some other colours :) x

im sure you will find a colour hun..most wedding shops have a choice of over 50 colours.. so there is always plenty of choice.. and you still have quite a bit of time.. if your in a dusky pink how about a very light blue or a light grey?? just an idea?! xx
How about something completly different to yours like Navy?, you could have the older bridemaid in navy and the 10 yr old in ivory with a navy sash :-) xx

Dove that was the next colour on my list to look at. My mate at work wore a pink wedding dress and she had her BM's in bright fushia pink .... plan B here I come .... thanks
Roxii .... I was starting to think of a completely different colour like you ... I'm so out of ideas :/ I did see a wedding the other day and the BM's wore a silver with the bride in pink .... OHHH i dunno lol

Yeah, a good thing about pink is that loads of different colours go with it :) x
CommentAuthorDrunchPunk
Yeah, I was going to say silver or gold, maybe with a pink sash or something?
CommentAuthorRoxii

i think that wearing a coloured wedding dress is really refreshing, i never thought about doing that i have just opted for white because im having a winter wedding. i like the idea you had of silver i think it would be lovely. good luck xx
CommentAuthorlillylou
light green- a more floral theme. Don't let the dresses outshine yours, maybe add an accessory to theirs like a bright sash or bolero and your bouquet of flowers is much much bigger! x

How about a champagne colour or a light gold, I think this may look nice. Also any pastel colours will go with a blush pink. Like the idea of fushia pink but what's gonna catch the eye first the blush or the fushia? Know what I'm getting at. To be honest I like ur original idea, the ivory. Can't u get the bridesmaids a quite simple dress in ivory and so everyone is clear who's the bride? U will also stand out by having fancier jewellery, a bigger bouquet, perhaps a stunning tiara etc. Don't get to disheartened just yet! Perhaps when u look for bridesmaids dresses in the bridal shops ask to see their colour charts first in the different fabrics and when u like a colour swatch that u think will go then ask them which dresses have u got that are available to order in this colour? I think ur 10 yr old would look lovely in a bridesmaids dress with blush pink on top and an ivory bottom to compliment u as she's the youngest. Just ideas, hope they helpxx

Hope you find something soon hun...choosing bm dresses was the biggest pain for me!!!!! Have a look at my photos...my bm dress is on there (in pink and cream) although Im having gun metal grey with purple sashes! You could have this option too....grey is often not a popular choice for weddings but my dresses are lovely and the colour is amazing!!!xxx
CommentAuthorCeCe
