In the evolving landscape of weddings, brides are increasingly embracing the idea of diversity within their wedding party, moving away from the tradition of identical bridesmaid looks. While this trend leads to stunning photos, it poses the challenge of finding bridesmaid dresses that strike the delicate balance between complementing each other and maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. Asher Lane Bridal understands the importance of this process and have provided valuable tips on selecting the perfect color for your wedding party.

Skin Tone and Complexion:
The diverse range of skin tones, from fair complexions to olive undertones, can significantly impact how a color appears on an individual. Try incorporating different tints of the same color, creating a cohesive look while catering to the unique skin tones in your bridal party. For example, if blue is your chosen color, varying shades like powder blue, navy, and cobalt can be tailored to each bridesmaid.

Wedding Theme:
The chosen wedding theme plays a pivotal role in determining the overall color palette, including the attire. We recommend warm colors like rust, brown, burgundy, and hints of deep mustard for boho chic affairs. For city rooftop celebrations, we suggest leaning into Kelly green or royal blue. Black is noted as a universally flattering hue that complements almost every theme and bridesmaid dress style.

Season and Venue:
Considering the season and venue is imperative when selecting bridesmaid dress colors. For instance, lighter, earthy tones like dark sage, taupe, and terracotta for barn weddings in the summer. Beach weddings, on the other hand, lend themselves to pastel colors and hues reminiscent of the sunset, such as pale yellows, powder blues, and lavender.

At Asher Lane Bridal, we are committed to helping you curate a stunning and harmonious palette for your unique bridal party. With our tips, we know our brides can navigate the world of bridesmaid dress colors with confidence, ensuring a beautiful and cohesive look that complements every individual.
