Let Your Wedding Colors Tell The Story!

Color is Back, or should we say, BETTER?!

Not only are the color options for bridesmaids vast (we have around 70 colors at Bridal Traditions), they are inclusive. Traditional colors, muted tones, and classics are always popular and available for bridesmaids. 

For the more adventurous or less conventional bride, there are also plenty of color ways to choose from in this modern era. We've got the rainbow PLUS, you might say. Let your imagination rule.

New Color Combinations

Remember when the rules started changing and brides actively invited bridesmaids to choose their own style of gown? As long as the theme or palette was intact, the world was your oyster. It felt like a revelation, didn't it?! Suddenly, the line up of besties by the bride's side on her big day were part of a vibe or a theme, but each showcased a bit of individuality. 

These days, we see brides combining more than one or two colors for their bridesmaids gowns, adding more texture and interest. They are telling a story of their personality, their relationship, or just expressing their point of view.
The number of combinations is endless, so why not?!

Can't you say: "spring is my favorite season" or "bohemian vibes" or "rustic elegance" in so many different ways? Yes, you can. Having a mix of colors in your bridesmaids' gowns or groomsmen's accessories is a genius way of pulling off your theme or love story. 

Color Matches - Online vs In-Person

We don't like to nag or preach, but the stories of disappointment are a plenty. 
Wedding Parties & Party-goers: this is just a friendly reminder that when you order your attire from an online purveyor, usually based on seeing a jpeg, you cannot be sure about the color in real life. What looks rusty online may look like peach when you're unpacking it. Greens are teals or royal. Reds run from burgundy to pink.

When you shop in store, you can see the gowns next to each other, make smart choices, then check out accessories and sort out the men's look as well. Are you going to be present on your wedding day? Of course. Be present as you choose the elements, and this starts with attire. 

Is the color of dress above tangerine? Stop by and find out, wink wink.

The Groom & Groomsmen Can Mix it up, Too!

Some good news! The guys are benefitting from these new dressing rules, new combinations, and fresh colors as well.

Once the theme and color palette are up for discussion, Katy bar the door, as they say. Between choices of suit or tux cut, jacket style, vest or no vest, pocket squares, ties, socks, and other touches, the groom and his groomsmen can make their "wedding day looks" equally inventive and coordinated. Many of our 3 piece suits are not "nested," which means that you have options and choices to add, should you choose.
