Picking a wedding color scheme can be tricky, but that’s only because there are soooo many gorgeous colors to pick from!
Whether you’re considering an array of pastels for a spring wedding or have your sights set on a deep, dark neutral for a winter event, here are 19 of the best bridesmaid dress colors to consider for your big day.
Timeless Bridesmaid Dress Colors
When choosing bridesmaid dress colors for the big day, you can never go wrong with a classic color.
From pretty pastels to dark neutrals, these hues stand the test of time and never go out of style:
1. Pastel Pink
Dreamy and romantic, light pink bridesmaid dresses are classics for spring and summer weddings. But they can also be mixed and matched with deeper shades for fall and winter weddings.
Almost every designer offers at least one light pink shade in their collection. Color names include light pink, blush pink, peony, rose quartz, and buff.

Light blue is a timeless choice for any wedding in any season. In spring and summer, it’s the perfect pastel.
For a winter wonderland wedding in the snow, it gives icy, frozen, Elsa-inspired vibes. Look for light blue shades with names like whisper blue, sky blue, ice, and mist.

Often called cobalt, royal blue is another fresh blue hue — deep and dark yet brighter and more energetic than traditional navy.
For a fall or winter wedding, we love it paired with other jewel tones, like deep purples, deep reds, and emerald greens.

18. White
Yes, most brides want to be the only one in white on their big day, but white bridesmaid dresses are still trending.
Pure white dresses are a must for an all-white celebration. Winter white looks are a chic option for a minimalist wedding with an ultra-neutral color palette.

19. Floral Prints
Floral prints may not be a specific color, but they are among the biggest trends in bridesmaid dresses.
Dark and moody or lightweight and romantic, florals work in any season. Every bridesmaid can wear the same print, or you can mix and match them with complementary prints and/or solid colors. Either way, florals (big or small) make a huge impact.

Embrace the Mix and Match Trend
Some brides prefer that all their bridesmaids wear the same color. Sometimes, they’re in the same dress silhouette, and sometimes in varied silhouettes. Yet, more brides are choosing bridesmaid dresses in various colors, giving every bestie her own distinct look.
If you’re thinking about creating a mixed and matched wedding party, here are some trending color palettes to consider:
- • Mid-pink tones, deep pink tones
- • Sea foam green, light blue or dusty blue
- • Rust, dusty rose, and burgundy
- • Magenta, mustard, and orange
- • Terracotta, eucalyptus, burgundy, and desert rose
- • Light pink, light blue, lilac, sage, and buttercup
When choosing mix and match bridesmaid dresses, the trick is to select cohesive tones that share a similar vibe.
For example, mix pastels with pastels, mix jewel tones with jewel tones, mix neutrals together, or mix dusty tones. The more variance you have in color, fabric, and silhouette, the more important it is to be consistent in the saturation, intensity, and temperature of the colors you choose.
Choosing a wedding color palette is personal, so pick whatever color(s) you love! And if you can’t pick one, don’t. Mixed and matched wedding parties are still a trend, which means you can pick all of the colors you love.
