Light blue or lilac?
Periwinkle is a delicate blend of both.
Dusty blue with a whispered purplish hue, periwinkle is a stunning anchoring tone for bold, warm colors like oranges, yellows, and jewel greens. Extremely versatile, it’s also ideal for summer weddings and winter nuptials.
Periwinkle also symbolizes sentimental memories and everlasting love. This makes it an obvious color choice for a wedding.
If you’re hoping to showcase this idyllic color on your big day, what better means than through the wedding party dresses?
Pro tip: When viewing these dresses, picture accent colors — bouquets with vibrant blooms or cooler silvers, neutrals, dusty rose, or white. You’ll be stunned by how beautiful pairing other tones with periwinkle is.
And, oh! Our dresses make beautiful wedding guest dresses.
Now, here are 15 of our favorite periwinkle bridesmaid dresses.

Well, after all that, we can’t help but wonder. You know that saying about something old, something new, and something borrowed?
We’re pretty certain that the person who coined that wanted to end it with “something periwinkle.” But since it rhymes, they had to settle for “something blue” instead.
