There are such negative stereotypes when it comes to being a bridesmaid - ugly dresses, skeazy groomsmen, tyrannosaurus rex of a bride...well, no no and no to all of those at my wedding. My bridesmaids are just my sidekicks in beauty and friendship. I promise to not overwhelm them with too many duties. I promise to not bombard them with complaints about caterers and flowers. I promise to not make them stay up until 5 am the night before making flower arrangements (I can't say anything about the day of...probably will ask you to help decorate). And most important, I promise to not force them to wear ugly bridesmaid dresses. In fact, I think it would be cool if they all picked their own dresses...although I have to limit them on color, but still.
Look at these mismatched bridesmaids...so fun, so unique.

I like the mustaches. Very cute. |
|
I even like the long and short...as long as the bridesmaid feels comfortable and beautiful (and fits in to the whole scheme of it)....go for it. |

Like the prints. |

TOOO mismatched. No rainbow bridesmaids. Cheesy. |

These women were so ashamed they had their faces blotted out. Just kidding....but phew. |
SO what is the
color scheme you ask?
Well, as of right now I have decided I want to go for a very organic look and not just pick two colors. So I am thinking about the following colors....maybe not all together....but I like these colors: muted grayish purple, various tans, light country blue, muted light green, salmon, barely there pink, and buttercream yellow. Here are some color inspiration pictures:
Think vintage. Think antique. Think light and airy. That is what I am going for. : )
I will make a definite decision soon though. I have to.
Okay Melissa.....I must say.... the mustache group....very strange! The purple girls...beautiful! The blotted out faces....I do believe that is my friend Karen Curry and her bridal party. The one on the far left could even be me! :)
ReplyDeleteWOW....we DID NOT have cute dresses back in my day!
