Stuck for bridesmaid dress colours

Sloufish, 27 May, 2022 at 18:03 Posted on Planning 0 7
If there ever was a silly sounding problem I feel this might be it. But I am hoping someone has some wisdom or thoughts to help me out.


Before I chose my dress or anything else I knew what flowers I wanted in my bouquet because they will be a replication of the first flowers my H2B ever bought me. Red, ivory and peach/pink roses with sunflowers. I have also added in a bit of lavender to link it to our venue which has lots in the grounds and some baby's breath for tradition!
My dress is champagne and ivory and I am hoping the yellow sunflowers don't clash too much! But now I also have no idea what colour to put my bridesmaids in! It's a summer wedding and pinks feel a bit out of the question as one of my BMs has lovely ginger/red hair and is very pale (I am blonde and very pale too!)
I had found the perfect colour swatch but now the company have stopped stocking that colour! I'm sat surrounded by swatches and no idea what to aim for!

    What about emerald green this would go well with the sunflowers and also with the red hair x💗

    Your bouquet sounds absolutely lovely—sunflowers with those roses and lavender won’t clash with your champagne-ivory dress at all, it’ll feel warm and summery! For your bridesmaids, skip pink and go for soft sage green or muted lavender. Both complement pale skin and ginger hair beautifully, tie into your venue’s lavender, and let your bouquet be the star. Super fresh for a summer Cornwall wedding!
