Bridesmaid Dress Buying Guide Iowa

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.

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.
