Most girls suit blue. And it's a marriage color that actually works for bridesmaids at spring, summer, and winter weddings. (Fall has different hues to provide of course and we'd choose oranges, browns, and reds in those days of year).

It's like this old wedding rhyme:

"Something old, new things, something borrowed then one blue..." Which just implies that weddings and blue is going together ...

What Does Blue Say?

The thing about light blue like a color is that it does whisper elegance and glamor whilst eschewing overt prettiness. And it has a tendency to suit all complexions, that is always considered when choosing prom dresses.

Take a glance at these one-shouldered bridesmaid gowns we've selected. They're all beautiful - and since they're by Dessy they are available in a variety of shades of blue - from delicate pastels right through to sophisticated midnight blues.

Different Blues For Different Venues

If you're using a destination wedding or you're marriage under hot sunshine, you'll be able to choose bright blues - turquoises, azures, along with a jade blue. Bright colors can endure bright light without looking faded, although they'd look more out of place if you're using a country garden-style wedding.

Then again, you might have chosen to possess a more rustic theme; so choose more delicate shades of blue like cornflower - that will look beautiful with wildflowers and fewer formality.

Maybe you're using a city wedding or a marriage that's being locked in the early evening. Then your choices might veer towards elegant deep blues having a touch of shimmer - maybe such as these gowns from Dessy below.

Choose the best shade of blue for the maids too. Don't believe you have to emerald green bridesmaid dresses all of them in one color - you are able to graduate the shades of blues to obtain an ombre effect as below.
