what colours have you got for your theme? x
CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
Why not go for a multi colour scheme? So either summer brights, spring pastels or winter deeps depending on when you get married. Then have all your bridesmaids in matching dresses but different colours? Pinks, purples, yellows, oranges etc in bright shades, pinks, lilac, blue etc in pastels or red, blue, green etc in deeps shades. You could have any number of flower posibilities from simple white roses to all the colours of the rainbow..... and same with table decs etc... it would really give you loads of choices and colours to match all skin tones.

I've got 3 bm's. They're either all going to have the same style in a different shade of brown, or all the same shade but in a different style. That was each one will be unique :) x
I'm doing something similar to ClareE - either we'll get some of those Twist Wrap dresses made so they have the same colour but different styles, or let them each find a different dress in a blue shade that coordinates with our colour theme (royal blue, aqua blue) :) Xx

I am having 4 bridesmaids in different colours.....purple, lilac, yellow and dusky pink.......and chose each colour to match the girl which suited it best with their hair colours.
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorBrideInTraining
different shades of pastel dresses are very in fashion right now and like everyone else has said you could find a colour to suit each girl xx

I've always wanted Navy Blue but then we decided on a summer date so I now want either Yellow or Orange or might still stick to my Navy Blue... Oh my gosh, it's so hard to decide.... All your suggestions are fab, thankyou xxx

are any of them your MOH? If so you could have 3 bm's in one colour 3 in another and your MOH in a different one?

I dont know what you think of the colour emerald green but that would suit all of those. I know because I am very pale and ginger, then dyed my hair blonde, and no am brunette and that and red was the only colour that suited all of those hair colours xx

would pale yellow or jade be any good? Maybe topaz

CommentAuthorEcoFreak
Oooh I love Linzi-Jo's idea: emerald green was my best colour when I was blonde, still looks nice now I'm brunette & my mum wears it pretty regularly & she's a redhead :)
Or purple? Or teal? Or yellow might?

CommentAuthorJemmaH22
Red is totally not an option for a colour! Lol. I'm an Everton Fan so i'd never ever pick red, lol. I'm loving the emerald green or the sapphire blue ideas!! Thankyou girls! I've taken in all your comments! Will let you know how i get on :-) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have two in cadburys purple and two in leaf green. Was nervous about the green ones as hadn't seen them when I ordered them but when we all went for their first fitting they all looked great!
I must be crazy giving myself only 6 months!

I know a lot have already said this, but the multicoloured idea looks amazing, especially when matched with different coloured cravats on the men
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I think the bright colours are great for mix of colours.

Lol, my h2b is an Everton fan and our colour scheme is deep red and gold/champagne!
When my sis got married I was her MOH and she had one other BM. I'm petite with olive/tanned skin and her other BM is tall and size 16 and very pale, we both looked great in claret colour dresses.
Deep colours in blue or green will probably look fine on everyone too.
