I am planning my wedding for July next year (and hoping for some good weather to go with it) and really don't have a clue as what colours to go for. Many people have told me to go for a bright red as it is summer and ''flaming hot'' but I really really don't like red. Any suggestions? So far I like yellow.... but have been told that this is too much of a spring colour? :s

Im going with sage green, but the venue sort of dictated what colour to have (im not complaining, it was my first choice!)

How about pastel colours? They look very nice in summer, or oranges and yellow?

I'm getting married next July and having navy blue, silver and cream :) not typical summer colours but saw bridesmaids dresses in navy blue with silver broaches and fell in love with them so going to have that with cream roses and hydrangeas :)

i am having a mixture of pastels with each of my bridesmaids in a different colour of pastel...mint, pink, lilac and sky blue...
you can have whatever colour you want, yellow is lovely for spring or summer...and you can always use a brighter shade of any colour to make it more summery...the same as you can tone it down for autumn for example bright orange and pumpkin...both orange but different variations...
don't listen to what other people say if you like it then have it, especially with something like colour scheme! xx

Good post! Coral is a lovely summer colour and works with many pastels too!

we're getting married next july and have ivory with red and green for out bm dresses (they have light red flowers with green leaves) I think yellow's lovely we were looking at that colour but my one sister is really pale and wouldn't really pull it off xx

Yellow is a lovely colour for summer! It makes me think of sunflowers!

I'm getting married next August and my colours are coral and champagne :) xx

I'm a summer Bride2B too..... i'm torn between lilac/lavendar and yellow.......
I guess i'l see what I can find bridesmaid dress wise.......
I like the idea of Lilac and ivory though.....
:)

I agree with the opinion that red reminds me of winter. More precisely- of Christmas ;) red and green. I wouldn't go for red theme in the summer as the colour seems too aggressive for me. I prefer pastel colours. Navy blue with silver also seems to be very interesting ;)

In terms of colours... I always said my bridesmaids Don't have to be in the same colours as the decorations as they are not ornaments! We're looking at a wide range of colours for the bridesmaids but our theme us tiffany blue/jade green and white. You'll also be surprised what colours suit people so don't rule them out just yet!

You can have any colour you like, any time of the year :)

But do think about your BMs, as yellow makes me look vey very ill (I'm so pastey you can almost see through me!) so try some things on them and go from there.

I would say don't make a decision yet. Pick your wedding dress and see what best matches it. I know that sounds silly, but there are different shades of whites and creams and different colours will compliment your dress.

I thought I definitely wanted my bridesmaids in teal but the teal looked too harsh beside my soft chiffon dress. Ended up going with dusty pink and pink was the one colour I had ruled out.

Thanks for all the posts ladies :) they have all helped lots!! My POA is to get all the BM's together and get them to try on lots of dresses in all colours just to see which suits them all. Im thinking yellow and turquoise :) but you never know may change my mind completely when I see them in dresses!!! But will keep you updated x

i am getting married in the month of may and i am having bright orange and fuschia
