Our wedding is next October and we are taking advantage of the autumn and centering our theme around that. I can't make up my mind about the colour of the bridesmaids dresses. They have gone from black, to champagne to grey and now I'm not sure any of those colours work. I want them to look formal and classic and worried a bright colour wouldn't suit this. I have had suggestions of purple and as much as I like the colour I have been to a lot of weddings where that is the colour scheme. I've already bought a few accessories for the bridesmaids so the dresses need to go with them. So far we have...
Gold bridesmaids shoes, mine are red and sparkly, red, orange and ivory umbrellas, and foam rose bouquets.
We are getting married in a tiny church in the middle of a field and having the reception in a barn. We want a rustic look rather than vintage and lots of candle light everywhere. I'm starting to panic as I'm not getting my vision across very well and I'm worried it's going to look awful. If anyone has any suggestions for bridesmaids dresses (preferably maxi length with lace sleeves) please can you point me in the right direction. I've seen a few on google but no idea where to actually buy them. I have 5 bridesmaids and they are paying for their own dresses as our wedding gift (there's a group of us that have done this for each other) and I'm not comfortable with them paying a ridiculous amount.
Please help! Thank you :-)
