Alright girls! this is a bridal question.... If you have the time and creative ideas come on and help me out!!

Ok i am stuck on the idea of color! Bridesmaids dress style and what not. I know i want to go with a light color. nothing dark because it is going to be an outside wedding. And i have no idea on what type of dress to go with. Something that the girls will like and not the 80's style poofy sleeve bull crap. I know they say the bride want to look better than her bridesmaids but thats not the case with me. I want my bridesmaids to be just as beautiful. So how about a little help! I need some suggestions! Links to dresses etc. Color ideas.... GOD I HAVE LOOKED SO MUCH I AM IN BRIDAL SHOCK!

You sound like me 2 months ago. I signed up for theknot.com and browsed their pictures for ideas. There are real wedding pics and you can search by color. I also narrowed it down by listing the colors I didn't want. Davids bridal has a large range of dress styles to look at. You can also ask your bridesmaids what they like and for color suggestions.
You can't go wrong with a little black dress then add in a light color to match your wedding.



Target.com has some really nice, contemporary attractive dresses in there bridal section and the shocking thing they are relatively inexpensive. And they will have a dress that they can use more than once and not just collect dust in the closet. That's even a bonus.
Try AlfredAngelo.com. You can see all the dresses and change the colors on them to see what they would look like on an actual person. Some models have brown hair, some blonde, fair skin, etc- so you can pick a good color. They have many dresses to look at so even if you don't pick one of theirs, you still have an idea of what you are looking for.

I had my bridesmaids try on a ton of different dresses and this one is defenitly the best! It goes well with every shape and every color and the color is PERFECT!! The dress looks even better in person. You should go with this one, I did!
colors I can't help you with but as for the dresses I think its good to have all the girls in the same color but let the dress fit them and there style so everyone will have a different dress but same color and material. try david's bridal
sorry to say- have you and your girls or just MOH if they are of the same shape go to a bridal shop and just try stuff on you see and like..looking at photos online will drive you nuts and you will find one you like..:) have fun...
Think pastels. Like light blues, pinks, or greens. Mint or sage.

As far as style think to the body types of your bridesmaids. Whats something that everyone would like and feel comfortable wearing? (comfort is important, imo)



http://www.cbslimited.com/bridesmaid-dre I think styles like any of these are pretty and flattering to most people.
Choose nice light summery colors, like light yellow and light pink, or light purple and white, or maybe robins egg blue. Most bridesmaids perfer long dress', but maybe yours wouldnt mind knee length or something summery, try www.davidsbridal.com. Have you chose a flower to do? How about daisies, because they are so summery. Or do you like sunflowers? They have so much for sunflower decorations and you could do everything else in a light yellow. Have yellow table runners and lots of silk sunflower bouquets and garlands...
Just go with a simple cocktail dress. Strapless, knee-length or tea-length. Black would be best if you want your brides maids to be able to wear them again, but maybe sit down with them and brainstorm a colour together.



You could also just pick a colour you like and have each girl pick a different style dress that will look best on them. Get them hemmed all the same length (like just below-the-knee) but then they can pick if they are strapless, v-neck, etc. Because they are all the same colour they will look like brides maid/matching, but each girl will have what looks best on them.
if you want your bridesmaids to be just as beautiful i would get their input on what they like and are comfortable wearing. i was married last june and knew that i wanted them in a black dress...i got 3 of them to come with me to look one day and they picked one out...absolutely beautiful! it looked great on everyone and they were sizes 0 to 18!



how casual or dressy will the ceremony be? have you picked out your dress yet?



when i think of an outside wedding i think of a tea length dress.....just an idea.
This would be nice in carnation, tangerine, meadow...

*Something to think about - having a print. This one is nice, because it`s subtle, yet so pretty. My attendants had printed dresses for a July wedding. I hadn`t chosen a style or color til we went shopping, then they fell in love with a tealength dress with full skirt.

Calm Down Bride To Be, We'll Get Through This.! =D

Look through some top bridal magazines. Find them in a wedding section of magazines at somewhere like tesco or something! (listed in source)

and some top bridal websites.

Why dont you go with candy colours.

baby pink, mint green, baby yellow, baby blue...

that'll be lovely. with some glam jewellery and flowers.

www.weddingbycolor.com its an awesome site for ideas- good luck
i got married in the summer two years ago and it was outside also.

i chose the same dress for each girl, but in a different color, so my wedding colors were a big variety. i had different colors for flowers and dresses and bouquet ribbons. however, it didn't look like some crazy rainbow explosion, it was more of a vintage feel, all sorts of colors coming together to balance eachother out. Except, the dresses were quite modern so it didn't feel like an antique roadshow! it all depends on the hues and shades of colors you use.

ANYWAY, i truly recommend choosing dresses that the bridesmaids love and feel beautiful in. if THEY feel beautiful, they are going to do everything they can to make YOU feel beautiful. sorry, that's just how it is. my recommendation of some store websites to go that carry beautiful unique dresses at a variety of price ranges and a wide range of SIZES also, are:

anthropologie

jcrew

nordstrom wedding shop

GOOD LUCK!

p.s. you could even pick one color and have different shades of it. like dresses in different shades of pale blues, which always looks beautiful against green grass.
Here are some pretty, outside suitable and affordable (I'm sure your girls would appreciate that)

depends on the kind of person you are. if you are bright and fun-loving then I would try to match your personality. If I could do it again I would probably have hot pink, orange and white. sounds weird but it looks awesome at weddings. if your not quite up for that then try something like lilac or baby blue or a light pink. I also like mint green, pale yellow and white. the only colour I can say I really dont like for weddings is brown. I would go with a tea length dress for the brides maids. the style would depend on their body type.
I have read thru a lot of your answers already. I have a suggestion that might help. Choose a color...then allow the girls to find their own dress as long as it is that color.



My sister-n-law did this for her fall wedding last September and we all bought the dress we wanted as long as it was a fall color. So we were not all in the same dress or the same color for that matter, and it was a wonderful thing. We didn't have to come up with hundreds of dollars to buy the dress that was picked out at the bridal store.



Hope that this helps.
I used this dress in kiwi. The color is very pretty... a soft, light green. It looked good on all of their figures and all of their skin tones (fair to very tan):

I received many compliments from many people about my choice of bridesmaid dress! These dresses do come small, so have your girls order a size or two up.



I used pinks, whites and green in my flowers.
I know exactly what you are going through. I am getting married next summer and I have decided on Hot Pink, tea length dresses. They are strapless and plain, this way they are a great dress but won't over-power my dress.
If your girls are all different builds, maybe try David's bridal where you can pick one colour, and maybe one skirt (Tea length would be pretty for summer outdoors) and have everyone choose a matching top they feel comfortable and pretty in.



I've also been in weddings where we actually just went to the mall and everyone tried on dresses from Macy's for example, that way you know they fit, dont have to fight about alterations, and you can see the group as a whole. Generally more cost effective, too!
My girls were in lilac and a sage green color. They looked beautiful. The colors look awesome together. They wore tea length halter dresses which was perfect since we got married in July. I told them they could wear whatever dress they wanted as long as it was in the right colors. They need to be comfortable, it's a long day! We got them at David's Bridal. However, one of my friends got her bridesmaids dresses at Deb's. They were white, tea length with little pink flowers at the bottom. They were very pretty also,but not many brides want other people in white on their wedding day. Good luck and let your girls have an input, it'll help out a lot!
