Pastel-coloured gowns for the bridal party have been around as long as the wedding dress, kind of. They’re not exactly a novelty, but that isn’t a reason not to love them! With spring in full swing, pastel tones are a perfect choice for a wedding taking place this season - or hey, next season! So, if you’re in the process of planning yours, here are some ideas to make them work.
1. Baby blue
There’s something beautifully light and airy about bridesmaids in baby blue dresses. It’s a vivacious colour that’s perfect for a morning spring wedding, especially an outdoor one.
2. Shades of pink
How gorgeous are these dusty pink dresses? Paired with stunning bouquet arrangements, we can’t fault a single thing in this beautiful bridal party.
3. Mint green
This lovely shade of green has a decidedly retro vibe, making it a perfect – and beautiful – choice of colour for a wedding theme that’s a nod to styles of the past.
4. Rainbow hues
A mix of rainbow hues in pastels could be the perfect choice for your bridal party. Think lilacs, pinks, and dusty blues – your leading ladies will look right on the money!
5. Peach
Perhaps one of the more underrated colours from the pastel family, peach is a stunning choice that opens up a world of opportunity for complementary flower arrangements, accessories and even make-up.
6. Floral pattern
If block colours aren’t your thing, you can always opt for a patterned fabric, and nothing says spring like your bridesmaids decked in a floral gown on a bright and beautiful day.
7. Tutti Frutti
Can’t choose one colour? Can’t say that we blame you. So why not opt for all the shades? This is a particularly great option for large bridal parties – every ‘maid’ can opt for the colour that suits her best, and voila!
