Blue bridesmaid dresses?

Help! I'm struggling with bridesmaid dress colours. Our wedding is at a country church and then a barn im quite a rural setting so I'm imagining pastels to go with the country style feel I'd like to create. I like pastel blue bridesmaid dresses but a friend mentioned that these can not work in photos?? I can't remember the full reasoning but it's got me worrying. With pastel blue I'd go for white / cream and yellow flowers as I love the blue / yellow contrast. My other thought is sage green or a slightly lighter green - then with dusky light pink flowers, and again White / cream plus some greenery. The curved ball is yellow for the dresses - love the colour and I think it's striking but a hard colour to carry off? I've two adult bridesmaid, one blonde and quite pale colouring, the other has dark brown hair. I want them both to look fantastic but also want to love my wedding colours too! Would love your thoughts, photos and style inspiration xx

    Have what ever you want! I think blues/yellows/creams would look lovely! Had a quick google and found these:




    I think they look lovely!

    Alternatively sage green with dusky pink looks very vintagy and pretty!

    I dont think either would look 'washed out'.

    Also depends on what time of year you are getting married. Blue and yellows would be very 'spring' / Easter, sage green and pink is more summary in my opinion.

    Hi

    I was going to have yellow dresses but then my dad pointed out that is affects the white balance on the camera and can make ivory dresses look dirty - i then changed to blue - but i am not keen on pale blues and having a more a sky blue colour. I am having cream white flowers with dark green foliage. Not heard anything about blue dresses and photos intrigued to know what it is?
