Which Bridesmaid Dress *FLASH*

Mellow_Yellow, 25 May, 2011 at 16:51 Posted on Planning 0 40

Hey lovely ladies, I'm hoping you can help. I know this wont be to everyones taste, but our wedding is next May and we have chosen yellow as our colour scheme. I'm only having my cousin as Maid of Honour, no other bridesmaids, and we've agreed that a short-mid length dress is best given the time of year, the colour, and her preferences. She's in London with a very busy family life so has asked me to pick, I will of course check with her before actually buying anything. I've narrowed it down to three dresses at the moment, yellow dresses are quite hard to come by and as I seen none from Jan - Apr this year, I'm guessing I better buy it this summer or risk not being able to find anything. Anyways, enough rambling from me, opinions on these three dresses please...

    2 or 3 for me too. If it were me I would go for the third as I prefer a more subtle yellow than bright yellow. I love the flowers on it too.

    Defo the third, the colours nicer as well as the style! number 2 seems quite a 'HARSH' yellow IYKWIM!?

    I like the second and third dress, maybe get them to try on each to see which looks best? Smiley smile

    If I was wearing it, then I would have to go with the first one (practical reasons, having big boobs + strapless bras = dont work lol)

    But I prefer the 3rd one, its gorgeous!

    I'd go 2 or 3. They're fairly different shades and yellow is quite difficult to wear - can she try them on? You might find one makes her look like a sunkissed goddess whilst the other makes her look like a jaundiced old harridan.

    I don't like the first one as a BM dress, more as a summer sun dress. I like both of the second ones though. I had a yellow BM dress for my sister's wedding. Excuse my terrible skills at cropping the photo!

    Doubtful. She absolutely hates clothes shoping and has said that if she tries stuff on in store she simply wont buy it - crazy lady that she is, I've never known anyone to hate shopping. She'll be 28 at the wedding, about 5ft 5" before heels, size 10 and always has been, and she's getting a spray tan cone for it. I'm confident enough that I wont pick anything that she would look hideous in, I'll prob be her MoH one day and she would get me back - BIG TIME! ?

    Awww, that looks lovely on you. Thanks, it's so nice to see a yellow dress to get an idea of it, so hard to find.

    My sister wanted to find a shop which actually stocked it rather than just go on the colour swatch. Most of the designers' "yellow" is actually lemon. We had loads of compliments on the colour throughout the day.

    Hiya!

    I'm getting married April next year and we have also chosen yellow ? I know what you mean about struggling to find dresses. I think we have settled on this one:


    Its the only one eveyone can agree on! I love the second dress out of the three although all of them are lovely ?

    Good Luck

    Love the 2nd one! The shade of yellow is just gorgeous, and love the panelling of the dress.

    Don't like the first one at all.

    Second one is nice and quite simple, but I quite like the flowers on the third.

    I like the second one, not sure about the colours of the third one, i think the second one seems more bridesmaidy!

    have fun deciding

    I love yellow. The brighter the better, it's a colour that makes me smile Smiley smile The dress I like best out of the three is the second one, love the detail on the waist, the box pleats, and the yellow colour is lush. Love it!

    Shameless plug here,, I photographed a 'yellow' wedding last October, and if you pick up a copy of the current 'WEDDING' magazine, that wedding is published in there. Smiley winking

    I would say the 3rd dress - it looks more bridesmaidy that the other two.

    The first one is nice but would be something that a guest could wear
