Buying bridesmaids' dresses can be one of the most fun parts of planning your wedding. It can also be one of the most stressful. Traditionally, the bride will pick out the color, and the girls will decide and agree on the style. The only exception being that the necklines of the bridesmaid's dresses should be similar to the neckline of the bridal gown.
  1. When it comes to color, the most common practice is to pick one solid color, such as blue or teal for example. All the girls wear the same color and the same dress. This includes the maid of honor.

  2. The bride may also decide on one color for all the bridesmaids but select a different color, or shade of the color (lighter or darker) for the maid of honor.

  3. The rainbow wedding is another option. This is where each girl wears her own color, but the same style dress. These colors are usually pastel, but darker colors can work just as well.

  4. A fun variation on the rainbow wedding color scheme is selecting two colors, such as pink and purple, and using lighter and darker shades of those colors. For example, for six girls you may have two in light purple, two in dark purple, the maid of honor in dark pink and junior bridesmaid or flower girl in light pink. Just be sure the two colors you pick will compliment each other.

  5. A newer idea that works really well is that the bridesmaids all wear dresses with the same color, the same neckline, and similar sleeves, but the dresses themselves are different styles. You would want to give each girl a swatch of the fabric and color so that they can come as close as possible to matching each other. The maid of honor can still have a different color or shade if you wish.
