When planning a wedding, it may seem like all the proposals are for purple or red dresses, but these are far from the only options.
Here are some blue bridesmaid dress ideas for fall and winter weddings.
In the autumn months, deep, rich colors are in fashion. For a bridesmaid dress, a color like cobalt blue would be perfect. This year, cobalt is a popular color and is especially easy to imagine as a wedding color. It perfectly blurs the line between summer and autumn. It is deep yet bright and suitable for daytime and nighttime weddings. A long cobalt dress will look great with a black sash and crystal bridesmaids’ jewelry at a formal wedding, especially in an elegant one-shoulder style.
Navy blue is another great shade of blue for fall and winter. Classic color, timeless and sophisticated, looks especially impressive on fitted silhouettes. Try a navy blue ruffled strapless bridesmaid dress for a daytime wedding or a long navy blue satin v-neck dress for a formal evening ceremony. Bridesmaid pearl jewelry sets are a natural choice with classic navy blue dresses. Wear a mix of plum, fuchsia, and lavender in loose bouquets tied with a navy blue velvet ribbon. Another idea is to play with the sharpness of dark blue with bouquets of white flowers surrounded by bright green leaves.
Consider a mid-blue gown with a chocolate brown sash for brides planning a fall wedding who aren’t crazy about dark colors. Imagine how brown leaves look against a bright blue autumn sky to visualize this winning color combination. The chocolate color brings just enough autumn flavor to make the dresses seem seasonal. Bring some brown to your bridesmaids’ bouquets by including flowers like chocolate cosmos or mini sunflowers. Natural accents, such as dried seed pods or berries, will make the bouquets even more autumnal and create a nice contrast with the dark blue of the dresses.
Another great color scheme for a winter wedding is the icy Winter Wonderland theme, which pairs beautifully with an icy blue dress. During the winter, it often seems like all the bridesmaids’ dresses are red, red, and red. A person who can use such a pale color to fit the season is to use it on a distinctly wintery fabric like heavy. Make the bouquets wintery, with accents like small silver trinkets or silver-painted pine cones mixed with white roses. Then add more winter accents, like crystal snowflake pendants and maybe even white fur coats for the ceremony tied with glittery satin ribbons.
Conclusion
Timeless, elegant, and always on-trend, blue bridesmaid dresses are the perfect addition to any cold weather wedding. They are perfect when the bride doesn’t want to use one of the more standard seasonal colors. Blue is not only a very suitable color for an autumn or winter wedding but also very beautiful.
