What color should my bridesmaid dresses be, in order to match my dress and flowers?...pics included!?

My bridesmaid's and I are trying to figure out what color/stye their dresses should be. We're all at a complete loss so any advice would be great! (especially if you can provide links! :) )



As of right now the only two colors I'm working with are white and a pale blue (the color of the hydrangeas in my bouquet below)



We would prefer not to have them wear light blue dresses, so what other color would also look good? and of course...what style do you think is best?



Below are the links to my dress, my bouquet, and my venue, and the church, just to give you an idea of the feel of my wedding.



(it should be noted that the reception will probably be mostly white, with some light blue and potentially silver accents....very clean and crisp....so the bridesmaid's dresses won't neccessarily have to match or be incorporated into the venue)



oh and this is an April 2009 wedding!



Thanks so much for all your help! I look forward to your answers!

I would think that a nice pale yellow or a pale green color would look beautiful in that room.

Maybe something along the lines of these colors...

Reply:Liked the suggestion of a pale green. What about pale yellow? If your bouquet has a pinkish rose in it, what about pale pink? Just be sure to have lots of contrast between dress color and flowers so they'll show nicely in pics.
Reply:Periwinkle or lavender would be nice, even a dusty rose or the right shade of green...

Reply:I have gone for a blue and white wedding, my dress has a very pale blue in it so for my bridesaids instead of going for the same blue, their dreses are royal blue. Its goes with alll the flowers as we are having blue hyasithms and hydrangeas.

Hope you have a lovely day, and good luck
Reply:I would go with periwinkle or any spring colors. I would also add more color to bouquet, it is dull looking.
Reply:Your wedding is going to be beautiful. I was thinking that dresses in the color of champagne would be beautiful. These can be accessorized with beautiful flowers in their hair that could be a blue to match your bouquet. Congralutations. Just remember that's it's not the wedding that matters, but the marriage.
Reply:I also think a silver would be nice. It would accent everything perfectly.
Reply:I love his show and love these dresses. It's real housewives of orange county. no idea where they got the dresses, but it is Lauri's wedding episode 3-11 (season 3 episode 11). and that green is the prettiest colour. I saw your bouquet, and i think this green dress would really pop with bouquets like that.

My girls dresses are truffle (chocolate brown) and it has been a great color to work with.



I love this dress in truffle (you'll have to click on the truffle color box!)...it sort of matches your gown style...

You could have a pale blue and chocolate brown color scheme....but again, I'm so drawn to the browns!



Have fun deciding and best wishes to you!!
Reply:I think that a medium blue color would be really nice, I'm not into silver so much and I think that turquoise or teal would clash witht hte hydrangeas as would a really ice blue, April is gorgeous in San Diego so I think I would do teal length dresses, maybe somethinf either lacy or filmy to go with your dress and the reception site.

This in cornflower maybe:

I love natural colours...so a cappuchino colour would look fab against the white on your dress.. I think you should go for a natural colour, so it wont look tacky.and something that will look well in the venue aswell because theres lots of natural colours in that room

Reply:I love the flowers and your dress is so stunning! You definatly should not have dresses so matchy matchy. What about picking up the soft green or the crisp green in your bouquet. The color of the hypernicum (berry type filler) is very crisp.



#78 Kiwi i think is cool with blues and greens or

#41 Celery
