There was a time when it was expected that all bridesmaids wear the same exact dress, in the same colour, regardless of their shapes or personalities. Much in the same manner you could go to a parochial school and see everyone in a uniform, so too would be the fate of your bridesmaids of yesteryear. Thankfully, the wedding industry, like all in the world of fashion, has evolved a great deal.
If you have a midday day or early afternoon wedding, darker colors will look dramatic against the sand and the sea. Dark colors also opt well with most skin tones. Should you have bridesmaids in your bridal party that have a variety of complexions, from ivory to olive to darker skin tones, go for a dark color. Most hot bridesmaid dresses will have come black in them. Hues such as emerald, crimson and black will lead for dramatic effects, especially during the bridal party's photograph session.
Accessories are a great way to brighten up black bridesmaid dresses. The bridesmaid jewelry can be a particularly fun way to add a splash of cheer to dark attire. Classic white pearls are lovely, but when the attendants are all wearing black, it can be better to opt for Swarovski crystal bridesmaid jewelry sets.
This will give you a huge range of color choices, and will also get some shimmer and sparkle into the bridesmaids' outfits, which is always a good thing. For summer, aquamarine crystal station necklaces would be gorgeous. In the winter months, a rich color like jade or cinnamon will be just the right amount of color for the bridesmaid jewelry to make it pop against the dark Mother of the Bride Dresses.
If the wedding is scheduled for sunrise or sunset, then you can opt for a teal, rose or cyan. Those are colors that will look beautiful when the sun is not so prominent in the sky. During this time, ivory might also work, but consider again the complexions and personalities of your bridesmaids. Sometimes patterns might work on a dress, like a tropical flower or sea horse pattern. The patterns have to be subtle, and not tasteless like a Hawaiian shirt. If you can find a colorful pattern that blends with a dress, then you might consider that option.
