What are the most popular bridesmaid dress colours at the moment?<\/h4>\n

According to the lovely team at Esther & Co, who kindly shared their insights on popular bridesmaid dress colours<\/strong><\/a>, soft champagnes and earthy tones are having a moment \u2014 and we are here for it.<\/p>\n

“We’re seeing more brides and bridesmaids interested in soft champagne tones and also earthier mauve and rust tones. That being said, navy is also a timeless colour that we are seeing more frequently for mother-of-the-bride looks.”<\/p>\n

What colour bridesmaid dresses are the most flattering?<\/h4>\n

If you’re not overly keen on the idea of black bridesmaid dresses, Esther & Co suggest darker-toned dresses such as navy or dark mauve, as they are flattering tones for various skin tones and figures.<\/p>\n

“The fabrication of bridesmaid dresses can also make a big impact and help by broadening the colours that can be selected. For example, waterfall\/knife pleating is flattering on many silhouettes \u2014 the pleating elongates the figure, and the relaxed fit is comfy and modest, so your bridesmaids are likely to feel more comfortable.”<\/p>\n

Here are some of our favourite trending bridesmaid dress colours:<\/em><\/h5>\n

Earthy Tones<\/h3>\n

From rustic rural soirees to luxe bohemian weddings, the earthy colour palette suits an array of themes and is a great choice if you’re planning to tie the knot in autumn.<\/p>\n

Perfect for spring weddings and whimsical garden gatherings, green has fast become a popular bridesmaid dress colour, and it’s here to stay. Sage, forest and emerald green have become particularly popular in recent years, lending themselves perfectly to fresh colour palettes with pops of white contrasting the green tones beautifully.<\/p>\n

Another timeless bridesmaid dress colour, blush pink is a dreamy, soft shade perfect for romantic garden weddings in the warmer months. We love the subtlety and femininity of this shade, which looks particularly stunning in satin. And because blush is one of the most popular bridesmaid dress colours of all time, it’ll be easy to find different styles in the same shade to suit all of your bridal party members!<\/p>\n

Soft Peach<\/h3>\n

Similar to blush but with a fresher take, soft peach is a versatile bridesmaid dress colour that pairs beautifully with romantic pastel blooms. A beautiful colour for spring or summer weddings, soft peach is a timeless but fun wedding colour and works well in winery, garden and beach settings.<\/p>\n

White & Ivory<\/h3>\n

Once a controversial pick for bridesmaids’ dresses, white and ivory shades are becoming increasingly popular with couples looking to steer away from tradition with a crisp, all-white wedding colour palette. When done right, white bridesmaid dresses will actually complement your dress while looking absolutely breathtaking in photographs. The white and ivory colour palette is also incredibly versatile and will suit pretty much any wedding theme!<\/p>\n
